PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU BOOK

1. On Iris Island you cannot buy water in plastic bottles but we offer free clean filtered water from a local natural spring.
2. There is no air conditioning on the island, but natural grass roofs on all buildings, location by the ocean and fans in your room powered by solar energy keep you adequately cool on most days and nights. On some nights you may even need a blanket.
3. There is usually ample hot water to all the villas fueled by passive solar water heaters.
4. On Iris Island please do not use your own shampoo, conditioner or other soaps and detergents unless they are biodegradable but bathrooms in each villa are supplied with biodegradable shampoos, conditioners and soaps.
5. Most of the cooking on the island is done by the sun. As there are times when it is cloudy, this may affect the time and availability of some hot dishes. However during our season from November to May, there is usually sun on most days. Please be patient with us as we strive to provide you with excellent meals while at the same time trying to reduce the use of fossil fuels as much as possible.
6. Each villa has its own solar panel, battery storage and charge controller. This means that each villa is independent and has its own power source. This power is not unlimited. We do not use diesel generators to charge the batteries. There is a battery monitor on the wall in your room that displays the percentage of battery power available and should not go lower than 70 percent. On most days the solar panel is more than adequate and will charge up the battery to 100 percent. This however, all depends on your power consumption. Please exercise responsible use of power consumption in your room during your stay. Do not leave the fan or the lights on when you are out. Reduce your power consumption when you are nearing 70 percent on your battery monitor.
7. There is one 230Volt AC plug in your villa and can be used to charge laptops and other low wattage devices. Hairdryers and other high wattage devices cannot be used. There are 2 DC plugs with a 12 volt plug which are used for the fan in the room. There are also USB plugs which can be used to charge your tablets, cell phones, digital cameras, shavers etc.
8. We ask that you not litter and to please take all your garbage with you if possible when you leave the island.
9. Each bathroom on the island has a special composting toilet which is self-contained. If you have never seen a composting toilet you may have questions or reservations about its use. It is very easy and sanitary. Use the toilet as you would a normal toilet however there is no flushing of the toilet as they are waterless. Your average toilet at home uses about 2 gallons of water per flush and accounts for about a third of all water consumption in a normal household. On Iris Island, due to our eco commitment and the plain fact that water is a scarce commodity that should not be wasted, we have incorporated waterless composting toilets that do not use any water at all.
10. The composting toilet sits higher than a regular toilet and there is a step for your feet. Our housekeeping staff will rotate the drums of the composting toilet on a daily basis, add enzymes and a peat moss mixture that will quicken the composting time and aerate the waste material. There should be no odor as a vacuum pipe draws the air out of the toilet bowl and up and out to the atmosphere.
11. Each bathroom is equipped with a small bottle of biodegradable toilet enzyme cleaner which you can use to spray and clean the toilet bowl as you would a normal toilet. Please do not throw anything else other than toilet paper into the toilet bowl otherwise this will interfere with the natural composting process.
10. All villas are non-smoking rooms
11. All villas have a king size poster bed or single beds with attached mosquito nets that breathe and allows air through from the fan during warm nights. Additional single sofa beds and rooms with kid’s bunk beds can also be arranged with mosquito nets.
