It is considered 4 days but it includes your check in day so if you check in on Sunday you get new towels on Wednesday.

Im glad somebody asked that because I keep forgetting to ask my guide as we work through everything as we are about to purchase. My wifes biggest and really only concern is towels and at $6 a day, it isnt all that bad if we want to freshen the towels.

You get a lot of towels so you won't need towel service every day. We just got back from THV on Friday. We had two bathrooms and in each bathroom there were at least 4 bath towels and 4 hand towels in each bathroom. If I remember correctly there were 6 bath towels in the bathroom that wasn't the master bath. I don't know if this is standard or if we just lucked out. The THV sleeps 9 so maybe they give you as many bath towels as the villa sleeps?

We have previously stayed in another area at SSR in a 1 BR and also had more than enough towels.

We always have more towels than we can use too. In a 1 bedroom we get 4 bath towels for 2 people plus a couple of hand towels and so many wash cloths, I don't recall how many. There is also a GREAT in room laundry should we need fresh ones before the new ones come.

Usually you'll get as many bath towels and face cloths as there are sleeping spaces and half as many hand towels.

At AKV Kidani (and I assume now at BLT), you get 8 towels in a 1BR because it has two bathrooms.
