Smoking is not allowed INSIDE THE ROOMS, same goes with lit candles.
Segregate the trash properly. Throw the organic stuff/oil at the organic can so it won’t smell or attract animals. Do not throw food/oil in the sink or else it will get clogged. We’ve placed labeled trash cans in the common area.
We kindly remind you to close the doors before sundown. Our lush surroundings, while a haven for serenity, also beckon some less welcome guests—mosquitoes. By ensuring doors are closed, you safeguard against any uninvited buzzing companions. In the event that a few adventurous mosquitoes find their way indoors, simply switch on the fan and the air conditioning. This will not only keep you cool and comfortable but also help deter any pesky intruders.
