3.8 Outdoor Fires.
ursuant to the laws of the Cayman Islands, please note that outdoor fires are not allowed.

3.9 Fishing and Catching.
Please note that fishing and the catching of marine life is heavily regulated in the Cayman Islands. Violation of these laws carries a penalty of up to CI$500,000 and four years in jail. Prior to conducting any of these activities, we recommend you review the marine park regulations carefully at http://doe.ky/conservation-law/marine-park-regulations-maps-and-conservation-laws/.

3.10 Watersports Equipment.
Please securely store all snorkeling, scuba, fishing gear or other watersports equipment outside the Property. Please remember that, with changing tides, sea levels may vary considerably throughout the day. We recommend you pull any watersports equipment left outdoors all the way up or off the beach at the Property to prevent loss.

3.11 Beach and Water Entry.
The beaches and water entries around the island of Grand Cayman may vary throughout the year due to circumstances beyond our control, including erosion, storm activity and other naturally occurring phenomena. No discounts or refunds are given if the beach or water entry at the Property varies from the images on our website or the Rental Party’s expectations.

Beaches throughout the Caribbean, including along the island of Grand Cayman, may also experience an accumulation of sargassum from time to time. Sargassum is a generally harmless seagrass that is more unsightly than anything else and that offers a valuable turtle nesting ground. Although sargassum accumulation may occur at any time, the condition is largely seasonal and tends to be most apparent in late summer months. Fortunately, Grand Cayman does not ordinarily see the extraordinary accumulations that can plague other Caribbean destinations from time to time.

Please note that the beach at the Property will be thoroughly raked prior to your arrival. Accordingly, the majority of Luxury Cayman Villas guests never experience sargassum. Should you nevertheless encounter undue accumulation during your stay, please contact Luxury Cayman Villas for suggestions for unaffected beaches.

3.12 Pool Cleaning.
Pools are cleaned at least weekly during your stay for your comfort and convenience.

POOLS AND OCEANS ARE INHERENTLY DANGEROUS. PLEASE SUPERVISE CHILDREN AT ALL TIMES. THERE ARE NO BARRIERS OR CHILD SAFETY DEVICES AROUND THE POOL, SPA OR OCEAN.

3.13 Water and Power.
Tap water in the Cayman Islands is desalinated sea water and is safe to drink. Please note that the water desalination process and the production of electricity on island have a significant adverse impact on the precious local marine environment. Although water and electricity are included in your stay, please conserve accordingly, including by keeping doors and windows shut while the air conditioner is running.

3.14 Housekeeping.
Unless you are advised otherwise in writing by Luxury Cayman Villas prior to your execution of this Agreement, one mid-week housekeeping with two housekeepers for up to two hours or one housekeeper for up to four hours is included with your stay. Daily housekeeping service can be arranged for an additional fee. Towels, linens, and robes may not be removed from the Property. Should you wish to purchase these items to take home with you, please contact Luxury Cayman Villas.

3.15 Pets.
Pets are not allowed without prior written permission (which may be withheld in the sole discretion of Luxury Cayman Villas) and are subject in all cases to a refundable cash pet deposit based on the size and nature of the pet. Please note that the process for importing animals into the Cayman Islands is a lengthy one, and you will need to start planning at least six months prior to your arrival. For additional details about importing dogs and cats, please contact the Cayman Islands Department of Agriculture or see http://www.gov.ky/portal/pls/portal/docs/1/12306446.PDF.

The aggregate liability of the Property Owner and Luxury Cayman Villas shall never exceed the unearned Rental Charges paid.
