MAKING YOUR STAY GREAT!

A warm welcome to Casa El Poseidon and we know you will love your stay in our unique and spectacular new casa!

We have been in the guest house business for 35 years and winning many awards we strive to do it the best!

No question is too small and we are happy to assist in directions, recommendations and transportation information.We are very easy going but unfortunately, some rules are necessary.

Please let us give you a walk through and tutorial and answer all your questions immediately on arrival then go hit the beach!

We are a very eco friendly casa.

During your stay we respectfully request short showers as coastal Oaxaca/Zipolite has water shortages. We do recycle all of our grey water into our lush landscaping. No need to flush every time you pee as we have large storage tanks that are pumped out monthly, (costly) in order to not pollute the ground water.  

We have recently installed solar electricity and solar hot water heaters with gas back up so always hot showers when wanted. (90% of Zipolite has no hot water)

Please turn off all items/lights not in use or while gone. 

Important A.C. Information,in the Lower apartment, please keep the A/C at 25 degrees C - anything lower will flip breakers and messes up all’s internet. We have lower voltage here in Zipolite .

Please always turn the A/C off when you are not in your lower apartment.

Keep windows and door shut when using the A/C.

In case of total power failure we are one of the few houses that have solar, solar batteries so use

ONLY LIGHTS and INTERNET BUT NOT A/C or HAIR DRYERS.

HOUSEKEEPING AND HOUSE MAN Housekeeping is here Monday and Friday at no additional cost. Our house man is onsite 5 days a week to assist as well. It is good karma to tip our hardworking and honest staff. Please let us know what time works best for your housekeeping. We understand sleeping in!

We change bedding once a week so let us know your preferred day. If you need additional change over please let us know or room additional supplies.

We provide fresh, pure water for drinking. Our house man, (Manual) will bring a new bottle when asked and can also help you with your suitcases or bringing your shopping items up the stairs. He is here Mon.-Fri., 8am to 4:30 pm.

Kitchens/cocinas, please always use cutting boards provided. Please clean up after use, immediately, to keep out insects.

Maid service does not include the kitchen. Shared kitchen upstairs, we provide you with refrigerator and freezer space as well as dry food space. If you need more just ask! There is also an additional small refrigerator in your room. Use only plastic utensils while using our non stick pans so as to not scratch.

Internet.

We need /high speed internet to conduct our businesses so we pay quadruple for the fastest and most reliable available!

All 3 levels of our spacious casa has a different router and different passwords. We will provide the contraseñas/passwords to you for all levels on arrival.If for any reason you are having any difficulty please let us know and PLEASE do not touch anything, any wires, the router etc. as the system is very specialized, complicated, and we have a Tech guy that we pay to come over quickly and repair.  If you do touch the system we will have to bill you our techs fees. 

We also ask that you limit your streaming. Email, sending a few pics, googling etc no problem.

Guest policies and security:

We have the highest level of security for you, ourselves and our other guests.

No Unregistered guests in the house or premises.

This, being a tourist area can bring in undesirables, clever thieves and so forth so watch your bags at the beach, bring limited cash. What I do is put my few valuables in a zip lock bag, discreetly dig a hole in the sand under my towel and cover over. Don’t forget when you leave!!

Night time at Playa Amor there is occasionally a spike in backpack thefts so have fun but be careful. 

Casa Security: We provide each guest with a large safe and electronic door locks so do lock up! We also provide you with your own locker with a lock in the lower Sand and Surf room. Leave your beach gear here and shower before heading up to the main casa.

Ask us about boogie boards, surf boards and umbrellas. We also have locked auto gates if you have a car or moto. Please keep these and the passenger gate closed and secure.

Once you enter you will have a very large electronic door to enter into the main compound. Type in the code and hit the top button to open. Once you enter please manually lock from the inside.

Once you enter on your left is the Sand and Surf Room to leave the beach here! Please don’t share the gate codes with any body. Your security is our number one priority.

We do have outdoor security cameras and motion detector lights as well. We have no interior cameras for your privacy.

We have the best location and minutes to the best part of Zipolite beach!

Outside Guests: Please bring no strangers “Unregistered Guests” into our casa. Unfortunately, theft is common but we have been vigilant and in 37 years and no theft. Few can say this.

Roof top Terrace: The Azotea, here you will find a spectacular place, outrageous views, with a screened palapa room,  (use as a massage room as we can arrange), an outdoor shower, bath room and beautiful 4th story pool.

There are also lounges for sunbathing but please put a beach sheet on the cushions first and shower off all sand, lotions and oils before entering.

We provide beach sheets free of charge for laying out at the pool or the beach. Small towels provided, as well in the Sand and Surf Room and Pool area. Please be careful not to slip and fall on the wet surfaces and do not sit on the 4 story drop Pool ledges!!

 The hours of the roof terrace vary so please ask or if you have a special requested time let us know and we will try and accommodate you!

Generally, please pick up after yourself, if you break something or something quits working let us know please. Respect and integrity are our models.

Have a wonderful stay!
