A message from Twin Waters with regard to checking into your resort room.

“While every attempt is made to ensure rooms are ready by 2.00pm, the hotel policy does not guarantee a 2.00pm check in. To guarantee rooms we would recommend a pre registration option.

 

 Although the above times are our normal check in times, you are welcome to enjoy the resort facilities outside these times. Porters can store your luggage until your rooms are available and again before  you depart.”
