The laundry facilities are located at each of the quiet pools in each village. It's actually a great place for them because you can put your laundry in, go and sit by the quiet pool and enjoy a drink and a book or conversation. I am always there with my parents so my mom and I usually put our laundry in the machines, walk over to Port Royale and grab a cup of tea and something to snack on, and then go and sit by the pool and relax while the laundry is running. Then, we fold and head back to the room. I have seen plenty do this and those with children can bring them to the pool for a nice swim while they do laundry.
