Tropical Musings from Paradise May edition, 2021
The month of May for all of us at Team Galvan is the month to get busy with our planning and preparations for the next High Season.
We visit each property that we represent to complete inventories and maintenance and potential upgrades.
We do a lot of planning and preparation for events and activities that we will sponsor and develop the timeline for each.
Some people call it Low Season however at Galvan it’s anything but. We are just as busy the exceptions are far fewer clients and the almost unbearable heat and humidity. Now, if we had a pool at the office that would be a different story!
