Pet-Free & Smoke-Free Stays: What Prestige’s House Rules Mean for Guests

Planning a sun-soaked Aruba escape that’s fresh, clean, and comfortable for everyone in your group? Pet-free & smoke-free stays help ensure that. At Prestige Vacations Aruba, our house rules are designed to maintain pristine, allergy-conscious spaces while still giving smokers a clear, respectful way to enjoy their stay. Here’s exactly what those rules mean for you—and how to make the most of them.

Why These Policies Matter

A pet-free and smoke-free environment keeps vacation homes clean, fresh, and welcoming for all guests. It reduces lingering odors, minimizes allergy triggers, and protects furnishings and finishes—benefits every traveler appreciates. These standards also help us deliver consistent, hotel-level cleanliness across privately owned accommodations.

The Core House Rules, Clearly Explained

No Pets, Anywhere on the Premises

• Pets are not allowed in, at, or around any rental property.
• This includes all animals—no cats, birds, dogs, or exotic animals—in any area of the premises.

What this means for you: If you typically travel with a pet, please make alternative arrangements before your trip. This strict policy keeps every accommodation reliably pet-free for sensitive guests.

Smoke-Free Interiors, Designated Outdoor Areas

• Smoking is not allowed inside any rental property.
• Smoking is allowed on balconies/terraces and in exterior areas of the complex.

What this means for you: If you smoke, plan to step outside to designated outdoor spaces. Keeping interiors smoke-free preserves the air quality, fabrics, and finishes you—and future guests—depend on for a comfortable stay.

How These Rules Support a Better Stay

• Cleaner air and fresher spaces: Pet-free and smoke-free interiors reduce odors and common irritants.
• Comfort for allergy-prone travelers: No pets indoors helps maintain an environment that’s easier on guests with sensitivities.
• Consistent quality: Clear rules allow our team to uphold high cleanliness standards across stays.

What’s Included for a Fresh, Easy Arrival

To help you settle in quickly and comfortably, your accommodation is set up as a fully furnished home-away-from-home, typically including:

• Bed and bath essentials: Bedspreads, linens, blankets, pillows, towels, and beach towels
• Kitchen-ready setup: A fully equipped kitchen plus a complimentary standard stock of paper goods and guest supplies (for about a week’s use), such as toilet paper, paper towels, foils/wraps, and garbage bags
• Beach and entertainment basics: Portable beach chairs and a TV
• Signature toiletries: Prestige’s collection of Body Wash, Shampoo, and Conditioner

Note: The standard stock is not replenished during shorter stays. For stays over 7 nights, it’s refreshed during the complimentary weekly cleaning. If you prefer more frequent service, additional cleanings can be arranged at your own cost.

Cleaning Standards and What We Ask of You

We prepare every accommodation with professional inspection, sanitization, and cleaning before arrival, during the complimentary weekly cleaning (for stays over 7 nights), and after departure.

To help maintain a spotless, smoke-free environment, we ask guests to:

• Wash and put away dishes
• Strip bed linens
• Place used towels near the washer/dryer
• Leave the unit generally picked up and ready to be swept, mopped, dusted, and sanitized

If additional cleaning is required upon departure, expenses may be charged at up to $50.00 per hour, which can include professional freshening from undesired cigar/cigarette smoke or smell. Remember: No smoking inside.

Practical Tips for a Seamless Pet-Free & Smoke-Free Stay

Here are simple ways to honor the rules—and enjoy a fresher vacation home:

1. If you smoke, plan outside breaks. Use balconies/terraces or exterior complex areas. Keep doors closed to prevent smoke from drifting indoors.
2. Use proper receptacles. Where available, use ashtrays and dispose of cigarette waste responsibly in outdoor areas.
3. Avoid bringing pet items. Collars, pet beds, carriers, and toys can carry dander and odors into pet-free spaces.
4. Leverage the weekly clean. Stays over 7 nights include a complimentary service; request preferred times with the team.
5. Book extra cleanings if desired. If you want more frequent tidying, additional housekeeping can be arranged at your cost.
6. Keep the home guest-ready. Follow the simple checkout steps—wash dishes, strip beds, place towels near the washer/dryer, and pick up the space.
