Guest Access
Access to the accommodation comes through a gate which leads from the beach road onto the property.

The parking lot is shared and has one location for one car per accommodation. Quads or motorized bicycles can also be parked.

From there the accommodation has its own entrance with a code lock that leads to the outside area.

This entire unit is private:
You have your own entrance, private pool and outdoor seating, as well as completely private indoor space.

Guests staying in the units next door do not have access to your accommodation. However, privacy is not entirely guaranteed from the point of view into the garden area

Other things to note
In Guiones it is normal to face the following challenges:

High prices
Dark streets at night
Intermittent power supply (also WiFi)
In the dry season there is a lot of dust (which gets through walls) and in the rainy season there is a lot of mud
Loud motorcycles
Noisy animals
Lots of insects and small animals (the facility is checked regularly)
Crazy thunderstorms
Construction sites everywhere

IMPORTANT NOTES:
During the rainy season the place looks completely different than what is shown in the pictures. We also need to make some adjustments, such as removing the garden furniture. The trees produce a large amount of leaves that cover the area and make it appear darker.

The amazing thing here is experiencing the wildlife and the perfect waves for surfing. However, please inform yourself about the dangers and challenges of this beautiful country. The ocean is not always safe and there can also be some dangers in the animal world.
