About Casa Tocayo in a Nutshell Summary Casa Tocayo is part of a condominium complex, so we do have some rules and regulations, however they are not always strictly enforced, so please be flexible, and also please don’t abuse them either. Please read further to find the condo rules. Our housekeeper Brenda strives to keep you content on your stay. She normally works everyday except for Wednesdays and Saturdays. She will normally show up around 10am and stay until 2 or 3. She will try to stay out of your way, especially if you are still sleeping. During the time she is there she will wash dishes, sweep and mop floors, and make beds, etc. The housekeeper does not do personal laundry, there is a laundry service nearby where you can have that service done affordably and it takes about a 24 hours or less(location will be listed further). She does speak some english and is eager to learn more, so please chat with her and be patient. Her goal is to make your vacation pleasant, if you have anything that needs to brought to our attention, please do not hesitate, we appreciate all feedback. Brenda is flexible and if needed we can switch her days if needed. She does have a family of her own and commutes to and from Sayulita daily, so please keep that in mind for her sake. Tipping the housekeeper is customary in Mexico, please ask around for suggestions on how much, but don’t be afraid to be generous, there is no right or wrong. These tips(propinas) are greatly appreciated and can improve lives more than you can imagine. We strive to do the best for the environment, and hate to wash more towels than are necessary. The sun does a good job at drying them, please reuse them as much as possible. If you need towels washed, please ask Brenda so she can do that for you. Guests do not have access to the laundry area. Another very important tidbit, that will will mention a few times. Please do not flush toilet paper, or anything other than you-know-what. The sewer systems here are not designed to handle them. We know it may be a bit awkward, and easy to forget also, but please do your best. Use the wastebaskets for all paper and other products, contrary to popular belief, it will not cause a smell. If you have any simple questions please ask around before contacting us. Francisco is the maintenance man for all of Villas Palmar, he can help in many ways and knows most answers. He also really appreciates tips! He works hard to keep the pool and grounds up to par.

Responsible travel policies We believe that responsible travel practices are the basis for a healthy environment and community. Therefore we are committed with our Responsible Travel Policies. We also recognise these as an process, we try to make it better everyday. Please help us to reduce our environmental footprint. Feedback is welcome! Local fauna and insects We are located at a tropical, rural area with teeming wildlife blended into town and surrounding it. Don’t be surprised to spot crabs wandering around, lizards on ceilings and some iguanas catching the sun on a rooftop or munching at some leaves. The geckos will cruise around on walls and ceilings eating smaller insects, including mosquitoes, so they are our friends. Insects love the jungle, and we love them, they keep our environment healthy. Although mosquitoes are a bit of a bother during rainy season (June to September), the rest of the year you may eventually encounter spiders, non-lethal scorpions, and exotic bugs. Casa Tocayo uses organic/low-toxicity pest control procedures only when necessary. We have never found a scorpion here, as we are too close to the ocean. Still we recommend walking around with flip-flops and keeping a good repellent in hand. Pool and common area rules The pool and common areas abide by simple rules. Quiet hours are 9am to 12am (midnight). No diving, swim at your own risk, children must be supervised, no glass in or around the pool, no eating in the pool. Kitchen Tocayo has a modern kitchen. We should have all supplies needed for your needs, please notify us if something is missing. Noise/music Although we are located at a very peaceful part of town, far enough from the noisy clubs downtown, a few nights of the year are exceptionally noisy due to local traditional festivities.
