Other things to note

Casa Comunal is a minimalist island home where the jungle meets the sea. While the home is very stylish, we recommend our guests be prepared for a rustic holiday. It is a combination of architectural simplicity and a glamping-type experience.

PLEASE READ:
Casa Comunal is a minimalist island home, located where the jungle meets the sea. While the home is very stylish, we recommend our guests be prepared for a rustic holiday. It is a combination of architectural simplicity and a glamping-type experience. This means you may encounter:
-Bugs
-Temporary power outages
-Temporary water stoppages
-Clogged toilets
-Etc.
Please keep in mind that tropical waterfront properties endure a lot of wear and tear. Our staff works daily on maintenance and cleaning and we will be there if you have any requests for repairs. However, the space always needs more work. If you require a high-end luxury hotel-type experience, we suggest you book a different accommodation.

The sea out front of the house has a shallow reef. We only recommend swimming here on very flat days, most common in the late summer months. During the other months of the year, there may be waves, which make the reef dangerous for swimmers. We do not recommend swimming here at any time of year with young children. However, there is a beach just 10 minutes walk down the road with a sandy bottom for an easy swim in a sheltered bay that is perfectly calm every day of the year.

House Rules

-Island Etiquette: The locals build their community off of conversation and communication and we highly recommend building a connection with whomever you may interact, especially our lovely maintenance and cleaning staff. Wave, smile and be friendly and they surely will do the same. Help us break the gringo barrier!
-Bocas is a remote island and while the local utility companies try their best, water scarcity and power outages can occasionally occur. We also do our best to make your stay comfortable when those issues arise, so please be sure to contact Angie and/or Ezequiel (our caretaker) right away if you encounter any such problem. We provide a house cell phone for this specific purpose so that you can make a call even if power and wifi go out. The sooner you inform us of an issue, the sooner we can start working on getting it fixed!
-Do not remove keys from locks except those you were given at check-in.
Check-in is at 3pm, Check-out is at 10am. Please ask if you need an exception.
-When there are waves in front, they break very powerfully over a sharp reef. Enter the water at your own risk. Surfing there is for EXPERTS ONLY.
-The reef is sharp and fragile. If you walk on it, do so cautiously and tread lightly.
-Use outdoor shower to rinse sandy clothes, sandals, bodies and gear before entering the house or using the indoor showers.
-Minimize toilet paper thrown into the toilet; and all feminine products go in the trash.
-Do not wear tinted sunscreens or tanning oils while on indoor furniture or bedding.
-Don’t sit on indoor furniture while wet.
-No cigarette smoking inside. You may smoke outside but please collect your cigarette butts and throw them in the trash to keep the property clean.
-Turn off all lights and fans before leaving the home.
-Only turn on the outdoor fans if you are under them.
-We try to use only the fresh rain water in our containers rather than the central water supply so please conserve water!
-Quiet hours start at 11pm as a courtesy to your neighbors.
-For your own safety, lock all doors when absent or at night.
-Don’t leave laptops or other valuables outside or inside in plain view while unattended.
