9. What do I do with the garbage?

Please dispose of waste to the outside bin daily.
10. What sorts of Critters might I expect to find on Isla?

We do live in a tropical jungle and so have our fair share of neighbours!You can expect to see humming birds and of course butterflies (mariposas) in the garden and geckos around the house (particularly in the stair turret and we have two that live behind the sun mask on the dining terrace) and we often have a green parrot in the tree in the front yard. We also have a squirrel which will take crackers from your hand (we think someone abandoned him). There are snakes on the island but none are poisonous. There are also small scorpions which are nocturnal and who normally live under rocks. A scorpion sting is akin to a bee sting and should be treated as such. If you find any ants in the house there are several cans of spray under the kitchen counter in order to deal with this but the maids treat the house before you arrive.
11. Can I rent DVD's?

Yes, you can rent DVD’s down in Centro, just ask our Agent for directions
12. Can I bring my pet?

Yes, contact us about this.
13. Is the house suitable for guests with a disability?

Due to the nature of the house construction we do not think that the house would be suitable for guests with certain walking disabilities or those persons confined to a wheelchair or other type of mobility aid.
