◘ HOUSE RULES MANUAL

This is the Vacaanda Group house rules manual. Failure to respect the following points may result in penalties such as the loss of the deposit and/or cancellation of the reservation without the right to a refund.

SAFE BOX AND ACCESS POINTS

Safety boxes are provided on the premises for guests to store valuable items such as documents, passports, cash, and jewelry. It's recommended to use these boxes and ensure all access points are locked when leaving the villa. During check-in, guests can set up their PIN for the safety boxes to maintain exclusive access. A fine of USD 50 may apply if doors are left open when guests are not present or sleeping. Neither the company, property, nor staff will be liable for any lost valuables. Guests are responsible for shipping costs if lost items are found. Replacement keys are available for USD 40. Please notify the host promptly if any keys are lost or misplaced.

CHECK-IN AND CHECK-OUT TIME

Check-in is at 4:00 pm. Please inform us of your arrival time in advance for a smooth check-in process. Early check-in requests must be approved by our concierge team and may have an additional fee, subject to availability. If early check-in isn't available, you can leave your luggage with our concierge team, but we don't take responsibility for items left before 4 pm. Check-out is at 11:00 am. Let us know your departure time in advance for a hassle-free check-out. Late check-out requests are subject to availability and must be approved by our concierge team, with a potential additional fee.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Guests must allow scheduled maintenance and cleaning staff access. Staff will wear company uniforms, and guests should only be granted access to uniformed personnel. Bed linens and towels are changed every third day. Towels are for villa use only and should not be taken elsewhere. Missing towels at checkout will be charged. Stains from dye, bronzer, or other products may incur extra charges. Avoid sitting or lying on furniture with sunscreen, oils, bronzer, or makeup. Using bath towels to remove these products may stain fabrics and result in replacement charges for damage.

BATHROOMS

Septic tanks in Tulum and some parts of the Riviera Maya cannot handle constant paper build-up. To avoid any issues, please refrain from flushing toilet paper or any other hygiene product. Dispose of it in the provided trash can. Failure to comply may incur a USD 50 fee for plumbing services. If the issue arises outside normal hours, it will be addressed the next day.

APPLIANCES AND FURNITURE DAMAGE

Guests are required to report any damage found or caused during their stay. Failure to report damage may result in fees for repair or replacement. Each guest is responsible for their behavior and any damage to the villa. Owners and staff hold no liability for injuries or harm from the villa or pool's use.

PARTIES/NOISEPOLICY

Parties are allowed only with prior authorization. Small gatherings must be approved by our concierge team. Excessive noise is not permitted after 11:00 pm. Guests must maintain a respectful demeanor toward neighbors, vendors, and staff. Violations may result in a USD 500 fine, intervention by local authorities, and potential eviction from the property.

PROHIBITION OF FLAMMABLE ITEMS

For the safety of all occupants and the preservation of the property, it is imperative to observe the prohibition of all flammable items. This includes but is not limited to candles, fireworks, and any other decorative materials that are combustible. Failure to comply with this directive and subsequently causing damage to the premises will necessitate responsibility for covering the incurred damages.

SMOKING

Smoking inside the villa is strictly prohibited. Guests caught smoking will be fined USD 500 for cleaning and deodorizing. Ashtrays are provided outside for smoking. Damage caused by cigarette burns will incur additional charges. Please ensure glass sliding doors are closed while smoking to prevent smoke from entering the villa.

POOL RULES

Diving into or running near the pool area is strictly prohibited for safety reasons. Children under 12 must be supervised by an adult while using the pool. Refrain from using the pool while intoxicated. The property is not liable for injuries sustained while using the pool. There's no lifeguard on duty; guests swim at their own risk. Please shower before entering the pool to maintain cleanliness and avoid throwing litter in the pool area to prevent pipe and drainage issues.

PETS

This is a pet-friendly villa, but prior authorization is required. Guests must inform us in advance and are responsible for any damages caused by pets. A pet fee of USD 150 per pet per stay applies.

CHILDREN

Families with children are welcome, but guests are fully responsible for their safety and any property damage caused by minors. We ask all guests to be respectful of neighbors and avoid causing any inconvenience to them.

ENERGY CONSUMPTION

Guests are responsible for managing their energy usage at the villa. Please switch off lights, air conditioners, fans, and electronic devices when not in use. To minimize energy consumption and carbon footprint, air conditioning should not be left on when guests are away from the house.

DECORATION

Our decoration services include setup, materials, and cleaning. Staff will ensure decorations are placed safely to prevent damage. Bringing your own decorations incurs a $25-$30 USD charge for extra cleaning time, plus additional fees for any resulting damage to the house.

ILLEGAL ITEMS

Please respect our policies and adhere to Mexican laws during your stay. Possession and use of drugs and firearms are illegal in Mexico. Non-compliance may result in immediate eviction from the property without a refund.

UNEXPECTED EVENTS

Please be aware that Tulum is a developing town and occasional electricity blackouts may occur. While we strive to resolve issues promptly, some situations may be beyond our control. In the event of severe weather or catastrophic occurrences, the company reserves the right to access the property without notice to prepare or mitigate damages. We may also request guests to vacate the property for safety reasons or to protect the house. The company is not liable for power, water, or Wi-Fi outages caused by service provider issues, severe weather, or maintenance beyond our control. Thank you for your cooperation and for adhering to our rules. We trust that you will have a pleasant stay at our villa. Should you require any further assistance or have any questions during your time here, please do not hesitate to reach out to our staff.
