No and no. Sorry. I haven't done it myself, but I understand the maids will take laundry and do it and bring it back, although I have no idea how much the charge is.

We love the location of Beachside Villas right on the beach, but would really love to have A/C in the living area. Since there is no A/C in the main area, a T.V. in the bedroom would be nice and a washer/dryer would be perfect. We are so spoiled! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />

A/C in the living room would be great, yes, but if so, I'm sure the prices would be a LOT higher!! So, I am perfectly willing to accept no a/c in the living room. I have told Yolanda for a few years that they should offer an option of a TV in the bedroom, and that people would pay extra for the amenity, but so far, I haven't managed to convince her!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" />

Whammy and all.....
We all can see the same things so differently!
We're total newbies to BSV, but personally speaking, I wouldn't change one thing.
The maids can and will do laundry for a very minimal cost, so the absense of a laundry is fine with me, and even being a bedtime TV watcher, I loved being lulled to sleep by the sounds of the waves every night.
We didn't miss the total unit airco at all and found the breezes blowing through the atrium area from the rear porch to be more than adequate but I don't much like using airco anywhere if I can avoid it.
Personally speaking, I think BSV is absolutely perfect just the way it is - low keyed, laid back and a great spot to be social or not, as you choose. But that's us and certainly, others have different vacation perspectives. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

Pat, I agree the breezes in April can be delightful, but it gets very hot and humid at Beachside in November and without A/C in the main living area, it can really become uncomfortable with clothes on. Sometimes we just have to pretend we are at Club O! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Elizabeth, we agree with you. We liked BSV very much when we stayed there, but the absence of AC in the living area made us all cranky. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" /> We like to visit in the low-season and it can indeed get quite hot without AC.
As for TV in the bedrooms, I can take it or leave it. When I'm on vacation, unless there's an exciting sporting event I want to watch, I can live without TV at all. But that's just me.
