We want to make our rental guests aware that our villa, Las Verandas, is part of the Bahia Property. The Bahia Property and the St. Regis Hotel are on the same grounds, but the St. Regis Hotel has specific rules for their own guests. As a guest in our villa, Las Verandas, we are part of the independent rental community, and the St. Regis Hotel facilities are exclusively for the use of the St. Regis guests. During the low season, the St. Regis is more than happy and capable of accommodating the residents from Las Ventanas, Las Verandas, and other independent rentals. However, during the high season, depending on the occupancy of the St. Regis hotel and the seating capacity of certain restaurants, the St. Regis will limit access of independent renters to ensure that the St. Regis Hotel guests have availability in Paros and other St. Regis Hotel amenities such as the pool, Spa and Seagrapes. Guest Passes: Rental guests will be REQUIRED to purchase guest passes for $100 per day (not per person) and we will help set this up. This will give rental guests access to all the Bahia amenities on the property. If guests do not have their guest pass, access to the amenities will be denied. You will pay this as an additional fee after you book and we confirm how many nights you would like the guest passes for. The Bahia amenities that rental guests have access to are: The Beach Club, the Beach Club Pool, Cocoteros, Sandollar Beach & Grill, the Fitness Center/ Tennis, the Boathouse, Aquavento and Las Verandas Pool. You also have the option to rent a golf cart for an extra charge, which will make getting around the Resort much easier. There are 4 or 6 seat options. The 4 seat cart is $60 plus taxes per day and the 6 seat cart is $75 plus taxes per day. You can arrange for a golf cart with the Golf Pro Shop. At most resorts, typically you are required to pay a resort fee, plus extra for any amenities . Here, you pay the guest pass fee and it includes all of the above! When you are ready to head back to our Villa, you will not be disappointed! Our newly renovated and furnished, in August of 2019 villa, has 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms with a large luxury kitchen and full laundry room equipped with a washer and dryer.

Bahia beach is also only 10-15 minutes from El Yunque National Park and just a bit further takes you to the town of Fajardo; where you can hop on a ferry to one of Puerto Rico's beautiful "little islands", Vieques and Culebra.
