Mobile Washer/dryers on site

Decided this year I'm going to try so washing over there to prevent having to pack as many clothes.

We have loads of down days planned as we are only doing Disney this year so figured I could put a wash on whilst we are by the pool...

My only concern is drying them. I don't use a dryer here (mainly cus I don't have one in my new house) but even when i did have I never used to use it as I'm scared it'll shrink the clothes.

Is there an option to hang anything outside to dry or the likes?

Not really. There's an option to hang some stuff over the bath with a cord you pull out but you don't get much on it. We do a wash every trip and I've never found anything has shrunk in the drier. I wouldn't put anything delicate in it though.

Is there a delicate option on both the washers and dryers?

I don't think so but I couldn't swear to it.

Can someone tell me whether these machines take powder, liquid or tablets or does it not matter?

Thank you

You can buy the powder in a vending machine in the laundry room. They used to just take quarters but they might have gone electronic now. There's a low and high setting on the dryers, and cold, medium and hot setting on the washers. Don't do what I did though and put the clothes in the dryer first thinking it was the washer! The dryers have glass doors you can see through, and the washers are top loading. If you have a balcony you could hang things over the chairs

I found some cotton t-shirts and my husband's long sleeved shirt did shrink, so I'd be careful not to put favourite clothes in the drier. I take a few hangers and pegs and dry them on the balconies or in the room.

Hi, I used washer/dryer in Ssr 1 bed villa. Took my Persil liquitabs from home. Used normal setting on washer and delicate setting on dryer and had no problems with shrinking (just took longer to dry). For extra delicate items I just dried on balcony.
