FAQ/Terms

Is there day damage deposit that needs to be paid?
There is no "damage deposit" that needs to be paid on top of the rent and repaid after check-out. At check-in, an amount of US$ 500 will be reserved on the guest's credit card. When everything is confirmed ok after check-out, this will reservation will be released.

At booking, is there a contract that needs to be completed?
No, not at booking. Please see under booking / checking in. At checkin, you need to fill out and sign resort rules with terms. This also has standard terms regarding damage to the property. A copy of this can be found here.
A rental contract will be created if the guest wants that. For us the owners, settling the payment and signing the resort rules with terms, is enough.

How does the cinema in the clubhouse work?
The information desk in the clubhouse has a book that works as a movie schedule. If you find a scheduled movie that you want to see, you are welcome to sit in on that movie. If you find a vacant timeslot, you can schedule a movie of your own wish. You can, for instance, rent this from the DVD rentals in the clubhouse. Other guests at Vista Cay can sit in on "your" movies as well. There is no fee for renting the cinema.

What is the cost of using the clubhouse amenities?
The amenities at the clubhouse are mostly free to use for every Vista Cay guest. That includes the cinema, state of the art fitness center. Outside the pools/jacuzzi are also free to use.
In the game room, you have to use tokens you buy in the clubhouse. This includes the "arcade machines", air hockey, pool table etc.

Cleaning / extra cleaning?
Between every booking, our apartment is professionally cleaned by the staff at Millenium Management. The guest is not expected to clean the unit at departure.
You can if you want, buy a "departure clean" from our on-site partner. The entire condo is then cleaned, and you will get new linens and towels. You can arrange for this yourself at the front desk.
For the current rate, please ask owner or at the front desk.

Self Catering?
Yes, the unit is self-catering. So there will not be enough toilet paper, soap etc, for your entire stay. There will be a few items for the first day(s). As opposed to a hotel, there will be no daily cleaning. But you can order fresh up cleaning(s) if you desire, see above.

Which kitchen items etc can I expect to find in the apartment? What about other items that are present?
Our apartment is furnished according to the standards required by our on-site partner Millenium Management. For instance, the kitchen is fully equipped with glasses, mugs, knives, forks, plates, roasting pan, casseroles, coffee maker, tea boiler etc. See menu item "our apartment" for more info. Basically, you will find every item you need for preparing food and live in our condo. All these items required are checked, cleaning etc between every rental. So you can expect these to be present, working and clean. Please read here for a detailed list of inventory.
There might also be other "bonus items" in our condo. This is items left by other guests or the owners. Feel free to use them if they are working, clean etc. In writing, two strollers, a baby bed, pump for bath toys, bath towels and more are present. Feel free to use every item you find in the unit. Our on-site partner doesn't take responsibility for these "bonus items". So, unfortunately, we can't guarantee that they are present, working and clean.

Check-in / Checkout times?
Regular check-in time is 4 PM, check-out time is 10 AM. The reception is open 24/7, so no problem to arrive late or anything.

If you want early checkin, please inform us in advance. If our condo is vacant before your stay, we will make sure it's cleaned a day earlier. You can then check in as soon as you arrive.
If we have another guest checking out the same day, you can check in as soon as the condo is cleaned. If you pre-register in the clubhouse, you will be notified by text and e-mail. But given the time needed to clean the condo, much earlier than 4 PM shouldn't be expected.

Delayed checkout time can be arranged in several "steps" :

  • We usually only have to ask, to get an 11 AM checkout granted
  • If we have another guest arriving the same day, but they arrive 6 PM or later, a 1 PM checkout is granted
  • If we don't have any guest arriving, you can stay all day. We just clean the condo a later day.

If you want early checkin and/or delayed checkout, please notify us well in advance.

It's no problem to use the pool area while you wait for the condo to be cleaned, or after you have checked out. You can store your luggage in the clubhouse, if you want. There is toilets and showers in the clubhouse. And a Tiki bar selling light meals and drinks.
