We do provide generous amounts of shampoo, body lotion, soaps, and high-quality sunscreen along with a thick robe and slippers.

Please note that we do not provide medical supplies such as pain relievers or blister pads. There is a pharmacy in the village should a need arise; but they aren't open on Sundays or Mondays.
