This letter is intended to provide you with all the relevant details, which we hope will make your planning, and the event itself, as simple, safe and flexible as possible. In this letter you will find:
- Our current plans with regard to COVID-19.
- Details for reserving rooms, including dates, pricing and options.
- A welcome letter from the resort manager (linked below).
Please note that we are asking for all reservations to be made by June 30, 2022, your credit card will not be charged upon reservation. All plans are fully refundable until July 22, 2022. The reservation fee is all inclusive (room, meals, activities).
