I don't remember if they had an iron with a board. I will say yes only because my husband is fanatical about ironing his clothes. I think I would remember if he wasn't able to do so.

They have a coffee maker for sure.

You will not be affected by stinging sand at Manchebo. The breeze is welcomed - BELIEVE ME.

We LOVE Manchebo.

Just checked their site. Yes they have an iron with a board. Just noticed how long you will be staying...lucky you:) They have washer/dryers at Manchebo. If you don't mind doing a load or 2 you can pack light.

Thanks so much for info. I always pack a travel iron, however, with the cost of luggage (airlines) am trying to pack no more than necessary. I definitly WILL NOT have need of a washer---I'm on vacation, for goodness sakes! (But thanks for the tip anyway :) !) Glad to hear blowing sand will not be a problem. Can anyone suggest the best snorkel excursion? I've read about so many-good and bad. We do not like crowds, so would prefer something on a more personal level (4 to 6 people OK, but read one account where the boat was so crowded you could hardly find a place to sit!) Also, we would like to take a sunset cruise, again, not in an over crowded boat. Any and all suggestions will be appreciated!

They'll have everything you need and an incredible beach. They have coffee in the rest in the a.m. which they will put in a to go cup before breakfast also. You'll enjoy Manchebo!
