"Hi Patty.

Thanks for the email. I must be honest and let you know that the umbrellas will not survive the winds at BSV. They have loungers at BSV but do not have umbrellas there because of the winds. They got tired of replacing umbrellas.

I sometimes get requests from BSV guests for umbrellas only. I know when I get this request, it means they are going to use the BSV loungers but since BSV has no umbrellas, they need to rent one. My experience has been that the umbrellas cannot stand up to the wind in that location, and then I have an unhappy client and a broken umbrella, as that is the windiest beach on sxm.
Regards.
Craig."

This was his message to me. I am reading that he does not want to rent umbrellas.
Thanks everyone for responses . Is there a store near BSV that I could purchase an umbrella? I am very Fair skinned and burn easily and prone to sun poisoning.
