Safety & Security
We understand that safety and security is an important concern for all of our guests. As a result, we have implemented a number of provisions and protections to provide security and peace of mind. Our property and each of the villas have solid security. Our trained Facility Manager is on site six day a week and is always available by phone. Six days of each week, our gardener is also on site. During the evening, the main gate is locked (you will be provided with a gate key in case you decide to stay out late). Each villa has a thick, solid wooden door which you can lock. An outer door is constructed of thick wrought iron and this also can be locked. You will be provided with keys to these doors for your unit. The entire property is fenced with barbed wire hidden in the hedge that covers the fencing. All of the windows in each unit are protected with wrought iron grates (attractive, but also protective). Finally, each of our villas is equipped with a small safe where you can store any valuables.
We are located in a well populated area of the project immediately adjacent to the Nosara Community Association offices. The subdivision security officers patrol the area from their base in the Association offices. We have phone and fax access. The nearby town of Nosara has its own police force of five officers and two fully-equipped ambulances. The Nosara Police Chief is a highly respected member of the community. The town doctor has a clinic office in Nosara and lives in our subdivision. She was trained in the United States, speaks fluent English and takes emergency calls when needed. More recently, a full 911 service has been implemented in the Nicoya district. They will dispatch fire, police or ambulance service 24 hours per day with one simple phone call.
The nearby town of Nicoya has a full-fledged acute care hospital, complete with emergency service and a pharmacy. Most residents can report good service from this facility. The capital city of San Jose boasts several hospitals and also has a reputation for high quality plastic surgery services. Closer to home, we maintain a First Aid kit available in the office.
The waters of Playa Guiones are safe for swimming and surfing. There are no significant riptides in the bay. When traveling to other areas to swim or surf, please check with the local experts to get an idea of the local conditions.
