Las Ventanas, the first to offer iPods poolside, is again leading the way in the international resort community by being the first to offer another new high-tech amenity that anticipates the lifestyle and needs of today’s guest.
Sony’s recently released LocationFree™ TVs are lightweight broadband wireless televisions allowing guests to watch their favourite programmes or a DVD, as well as surf the web, send emails and receive digital photos, while they bask in the sun. Available at poolside, they are private, compact and portable entertainment and communication systems for guests, which are operated with headsets so as not to disturb other guests.
“We’re always there for our guests at Las Ventanas, providing the ultimate personal service in order to support their needs and lifestyle,” said Managing Director Luis Fernandes. “With the LocationFree TVs, our guests don’t miss anything important to them personally, even while relaxing at poolside, whether that means following the stock market, watching a favourite movie or receiving an urgent email message.”
LocationFree TV is the first product to use a dual-band wireless connection and high-speed internet port to transmit data; they combine functions that would normally require both a television and a PC. They are very user friendly via a simple touch-screen operation on the 12.1-inch LCD monitor; when on the internet, an onscreen keyboard appears on the monitor. A special feature is the ‘Capture’ button allowing you to freeze and save what’s on the screen, such as the image of an actor, a recipe or a telephone number.
The LocationFree TVs are the latest addition to Las Ventanas’ unsurpassed poolside service. The Pool Butlers offer everything from cooling mists of frosted Evian spray and cold towels, to palette-refreshing sorbets, oversized fluffy towels, the latest magazines and best-selling novels, personal CD players with a selection of CDs, pre-loaded iPods - virtually anything guests want or need.
