Other Things to Note

• Lost keys or remote controls will incur charges: $5 per lost key and $300 for a lost remote. Guests are encouraged to leave keys and remotes in the lockbox outside the gate when leaving the property to avoid loss.
• During drought seasons, scheduled water conservation may lead to occasional water shortages or unannounced shutoffs. Guests should notify the host if water issues seem unusual.
• Regular maintenance visits will occur to care for the grounds and pool.
• Being located in the jungle means some network carriers may have limited service; guests should plan accordingly.
• For stays of two weeks or less, basic cleaning supplies are provided. For longer stays, cleaning services are recommended at the guest’s expense. For stays of three weeks or more, biweekly cleaning is required, also at the guest’s cost.
