This has been an issue for me and a lesson learned that the act of kindness is rarely rewarded, usually a sign of trouble ahead such as entitlement and never mentioned in reviews so not worth it for us. So now I send this as soon as they book and it works for me right now. It seems to maintain a balance. Addressing it before being asked is always a great way to avoid saying no.
Early check-in or late check-out
We offer a flat US$— pass for early arrivals or late departures, if our guest schedule allows it. An early pass allows you to arrive as early as 8am and a late pass to depart as late as 6pm. This is ideal for those wishing to maximize beach time.
Otherwise, we recommend La Cabane as a great place to spend a couple hours on your way in or out of the island (@la_cabane_barbados).
Luggage Drop-Off or Storage
We don’t offer luggage storage for insurance reasons so we recommend purchasing an early or late pass to extend your access to the studio (and the safe). You’ll also have space to freshen up, squeezing in maximum beach time.
