When you arrive at the property please take time to become familiar with the pool and outside area.

If using suntan oil, please shower before using the pool to avoid oils blocking the filtration system.

Safety: Please always remember that swimming pools represent a potential danger, especially for children, and to ensure that children are never left unattended in or near the pool area.

All insects, particularly ants, flies and beetles are attracted to all things sweet.  To avoid problems, it is advisable to keep sweet things like jam and soft drinks in the fridge, clean up floor spills, discard deteriorating pieces of fruit, and put into the dishwasher or hand wash.  Insecticides are widely available in supermarkets.  Please contact the property manager if you need help.

Ants = formigas   Wasp = vespa   Bee = abelia    Fly = mosca   Mosquito = mosquito
