There are a couple things to know that are very important when coming to coming to Puerto Rico and understanding the meaning of "island time". This will be a much different pace of life than you are used to. When we as owners moved down here in 2018 it took us about a year to get used to the pace that people live and work out here on island. So please keep this in mind when/if things come up that need to be fixed.
1. This is the Caribbean, and although Puerto Rico is a US territory municipal services DO NOT run in the same way as the States do.
2. We provide these under a “best effort” policy. Our Cistern and Generator are new and we provide them with an internal expectation that they will work better than other airbnb’s in the region. That being said it is offered as a best effort policy. For example if the power goes out and the generator breaks, it will take some time to get a mechanic especially in Puerto Rico. Our team (Including: House Manager, Handyman, Plumbers, AC tec's, Electricians, Landscapers, pool service, water delivery and cleaning staff) will do EVERYTHING on our side to get whatever may come up handled as quickly as possible.
3. If you do not hear from one of our team over the app within 15 min please Call or Text
**If the water does go out it is very important to not drain the cistern (which has approximately 600 gallons) we recommend to not take showers only use it for the toilets. Until you have heard from us that the water company has restored service. If all of the water in the cistern is used and you want more delivered the fee is $450 If the power goes out and the Generator has to be run for a 24 hr period the cost is $500 per day.
Getting Around:
Uber is typically 5 minutes from the house.
Other Things to Note:
Local/ On-Island bookings will be approved on a case by case basis
We will always try to accommodate an early checkin request but because this is a large and busy listing that will not always be possible.
An early check in will always require a $300.00 additional fee
This pricing on this property is set up to accommodate both smaller and larger groups. Please be sure to enter in your correct amount of guests when booking.
Incase of unforeseen circumstances we encourage guests to buy Airbnb trip insurance
Interaction with Guests:
As a Boutique Hotel we maintain a front desk / security desk situated between the two gated estates at the street, in a small portion of the car port of Estate # 2. Due to the size of the estates, we perform regularly scheduled maintenance to the grounds and the pools, as well as on demand repairs as needed. We also perform regular security rounds on the grounds. Our staff, such as maintenance people, gain access to the uninhabited portions of the property such as our tool closets and sheds during the day. None of our tool closets are in inhabited portions of the dwellings.
