Re: VI Hotel Tax

Thank you for your feedback. I am happy to report that after speaking again with the owners of the Villa, they have decided to cover the tax increase. They understood why we were disappointed and made it right. Our trip is less then a month away and we are super excited. Thanks again!!

We booked our villa in November of 2015 and I have completely paid our balance. They stated that they are enforcing this even on bookings secured before this date. The villa is no...

Family Pictures

Just curious if anyone has had family pictures done in the last year. I did a search on this subject and they are pretty old posts. If you can recommend anyone for our family with young teens, I would greatly appreciate it.
