It’s a beautiful day at Victoria Palms! The cooler weather is about to begin, the sun is shining and the consistent amount of rainfall over the summer has made the resort green and gorgeous! In keeping with maintaining such a beautiful environment, here are a few friendly reminders about lawn care policies in the resort…

• Please be considerate of your friends and neighbors and cut (or have your lawns cut) on a regular basis…twice a month or every other week seems to be the minimum necessary to maintain a good looking yard. More frequent cuts are certainly encouraged.
• Weed control is crucial – please make sure you are accounting for weeds in your yards. A regularly cut lawn can still look poor if there are tall weed sprouts throughout. Weed control is especially important for rock gardens and accent beds.
• Edging is the finishing touch – Edging your curbs and driveways is the perfect way to finish off a beautiful lawn – even a lawn with taller grass can still look nice with weed control and edging.
• For residents in sections of the resort where the lawns are cut for them, maintenance of lawn accents, flowers beds, etc is required.

In efforts to maintain such a wonderful environment, management does weekly drives throughout the resort. Courtesy calls are placed to residents who may have faltered in maintenance of their lawns. And while – for many – lawns may be maintained by third parties, it is ultimately the leaseholders responsibility to make sure their lawn is maintained. After repeated notices are given and, in accordance with lease terms, management may hire a contractor to bring a lawn back into compliance and a flat fee of $100 per instance will be charged to the leaseholder.

Please join us in maintaining this wonderful place we call home. Together, we can continue to keep Victoria Palms Resort a beautiful place to live.

Happy Thursday everyone!

It has come to our attention that you may have received a notice via US mail in your mailbox regarding a change in garbage service providers. This notice was also posted on the City of Donna’s website. The purpose of this notice is to inform all residents and commercial entities of the City of Donna that the city has discontinued their service contract with one vendor and has contracted with another and that the changeover will happen at the end of this month.

It is not clear why a notice was sent to each individual resident of VP, but we assume that the new provider simply acquired a database of all addresses in the city of Donna and sent a bulk notice out to all of them.

Please disregard this notice. This has no impact on residents of Victoria Palms and you do not need to follow the instructions on the notice. Trash service will continue normally.

A special notice for those who have reservations for the upcoming season: In the past, Sept 1st has been the cutoff date for a full refund on your reservation. However, due to the current travel circumstances, our cancellation policy has been modified for greater flexibility. Please contact us directly at 956-464-7801 or toll free at 800-551-5303.

Daily and Weekly Reservations: We allow full refunds for cancellations up to 2 days prior to your arrival date.

Rental Accommodations: We allow full refunds for cancellations 7 days prior to your arrival date for daily and weekly reservations.

Note: For cancellations received less than the required notice period prior to arrival, your deposit will be forfeited up to one night rack rate.

UPDATE: Extended Stays (Seasonal): For long-term reservations (28 days or longer), we allow full refunds for cancellations up to 30 days prior to your arrival date. For cancellations received less than the required notice period prior to arrival, the deposit amount will be held on account (HOA) for a future stay. Cancellation received 5 days or less prior to scheduled arrival date lose their deposit in its entirety.

We hope this provides some additional flexibility and eases some of the concerns that have been expressed regarding travel.

Please be advised, we have trapped a stray dog in the dog park by the Craft Center. This dog park will remain closed until the city has come to retrieve it. Thank you for your patience while we await the city’s retrieval.
