Re the floor - My memories were torn between tile and gravel and couldn't remember which BSV had but I do recall thinking the night we grilled our steaks it was a good set-up but wouldn't work in a lot of places.

We were a little exasperated the night we grilled our filets because something was wrong with our grill and it wouldn't heat beyond a low flame. I ended up finishing them inside.....but they were still delicious and eating out on the porch with the water and the sound of the waves was truly lovely - perhaps one of our best island dinners that trip.

I was bummed at first at the Towers response regarding their refusal to allow grills since this had been mentioned as a possibility prior to our purchasing, but the more I thought about it, the more I understood their reasoning.

I could imagine being on the upper floors and people below you grilling on the balcony with the smoke wafting up to your unit - Making you A. - Hungry and/or B. - irritated if you couldn't enjoy your balcony or open windows because of this happening? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
