Air Conditioners

To help conserve energy, please do not program the thermostat below 74° Fahrenheit, and make sure the fan is set to “auto.” Please turn off the AC when a room is not in use.

Energy and Water Conservation

Help save our planet! Whenever you leave the apartment, please turn off all lights, ACs and fans. When showering or washing dishes, please do not let the water run unnecessarily. Electrical power and water are scarce in Puerto Rico, and they cost approximately four (4) times as much as on the mainland United States. Waste only increases the scarcity and the price, especially for Puerto Ricans who have a hard time affording utilities. In addition, energy and water waste contributes to our carbon footprint and global warming.

Garbage Disposal

Garbage can be disposed of in the dumpster by the car exit gate.

Gates

To enter the complex by car, you need to use the remote control provided by the apartment manager to open the entrance gate, or punch in the code: 0524#. To exit, you don’t need to use the remote control — the exit gate opens automatically. The pedestrian gate by the car entrance gate can be opened with one of the keys provided to you by the manager, or by punching in the code: 0523#. The glass doors leading to the lobby are controlled by an electronic lock; the code number to open the doors is 0505#. The key that opens the pedestrian gate at the complex entrance also opens the stairwell doors. This may be useful in the event that the elevator is out of service.

Home Theater System

IMPORTANT! Please help save our planet — Power off all equipment when not in use, and at the end of your stay, please power off the surge protector.

The TV set is equipped with a Roku device. It is set to “guest mode”, so that you can enjoy your own streaming services while you are at Mi Refugio en Rincon. The Roku device will erase all login information on the date you determine and will go back to default guest mode. Instructions are available in the apartment.

House Rules

For your information, reproduced here are excerpts from the condo’s house rules, which apply to renters of Mi Refugio:

  • You may not make unnecessary noises nor perform acts that would disturb the peace of other co-owners, tenants or occupants.
  • The apartments will be used only for residential purposes, and will not be used for purposes contrary to the law, morals and public order.
  • You may not hang clothing or any other article in the balcony or the windows of the complex, so that building esthetics are not affected.
  • You may not let children play in the hall or the stairs.
  • You may not cook in common areas, except in those common areas provided for this purpose. You may not cook or use BBQ in the balconies.

In addition, the following rules apply specifically to this apartment:

  • No pets allowed.
  • No smoking allowed.

I would like to keep the apartment allergen-free.

Ice Maker

To turn on the ice maker in the freezer, push down the wire lever. To turn it off before you leave, push it up until it latches.

Rental Policies

Complete apartment rental policies are detailed in the Rental Agreement.

Swimming Pool

Guests are welcome to use the swimming pool, but please abide by the Swimming Pool Rules to ensure its long life and a pleasant experience for all. Please do not rinse sand off surf boards and other beach apparatus by dunking them in the swimming pool — sand clogs and damages the pool water pump. You may rinse them with the water hose or using the outdoor showers.

Wi-Fi Internet Access

The apartment is equipped with 300Mbps wireless broadband Internet service provided via a cable modem/Wi-Fi router (white box connected to the surge protector).

  • If not already done by the apartment manager, switch on the surge protector to provide power to the modem/router (as well as to the rest of the entertainment center).
  • The modem/router’s POWER light (yellow) should turn on and blink.
  • Wait a couple of minutes until the POWER light is steady. Once this happens, the network will be up and running.
  • On your Wi-Fi-enabled computer or mobile device, connect to the Wi-Fi network using the following credentials:
    • Wi-Fi Network Name: LIB-6362019 or LIB-6362019-5G
    • Password: sbgctyQWn6kq

If the Internet connection drops, unplug the power cord from the cable modem/Wi-Fi router to turn it off, wait about one minute, and then plug it in again. The connection should reset. If it doesn’t, it means that the Internet service is down. Please be patient: Internet service should return shortly.

At the end of your stay, please turn off the surge protector, to help conserve energy.
