As per Barbados Law smoking and the use of e-cigarettes are prohibited in all rooms, balconies, corridors, restaurants and public spaces, therefore the hotel has created dedicated spaces for smoking and vaping.

Guest Incidental Authorisations

There is a mandatory incidental deposit taken at check-in by either a credit card or a cash deposit.
