    TV or no TV?

    yes, so very true. However, in this area, you pay extra for a/c. Its like an add on charge if used, or it is disconnected if not wanted, or a room without a/c is provided. All what you said sounds fine, but the a/c is really used for sleeping here. So at night or when taking a nap. All other...

    One Nighters are more trouble...

    Based on all of your thoughts, we want to have a minimum night stay. We were thinking three nights. We are a destination, yet a bit off the main tourist trap. If people came, this is where they wanted to be. Good point about wanted people to go away, but you have locked them into a certain...

    TV or no TV?

    My husband said no tv till I reminded him of all the grief for the house we rented on the beach with no tv, or the apartment... Thanks for your feed back. Looks like tv in the living room, two big ceiling fans in that room. More seating. I like the idea of leaving wiring for the bedroom, thanks...

    TV or no TV?

    In this part of Mexico, as in most, electricity is a persons biggest expense. As part of our policies, AC would be expected to be used only in an occupied room. I think most people who venture this far from Cancun would be more respectful of issues like that. I don't kid myself, but there will...

    Opps, what I meant by locals was an expat husband/Mexican wife who live here. So local, but not local?

    TV or no TV?

    hmmm...just talked to a couple of locals, they point was not in the bedroom, since electricity is so expensive, sitting in the air conditioned bedroom watching t.v. would be REALLY expensive.

    TV or no TV?

    Greetings! We are in Mexico! Starting to clean up, paint, refurnish etc. One question, based on your experience. Should we put in a T.V.? So, it is a one bed room apartment. The bedroom has airconditioning but the rest of the apartment has open slated windows (no a.c. possible). This room will...

    It's a GIRL!

    Hey Seashanty- good idea a babymoon, but with a first child, there was NO way I wanted to leave my little guy. Much more willing to sneak away when I had two. Just saying...everyones different, but it is still REALLY hard to leave my kiddos. So don't be sad if she says no. Maybe you can think of...

    Marketing Help, Please

    Hi Kate- have a really good friend that just moved 15 minutes from you. Told her to get over there with her hubby and have a romantic getaway for two- seems the move to Ohio from Colorado wasn't all it was cracked up to be, and they need some R&R! You're place seems to fit the bill.

    How to .........

    I believe you about the website, but saw someone else's using WIX and it looked great. Everything it needed. He did say however that if I needed so help, he could. So maybe that is the "help" you are referring to. I just want to do the right thing, get it done right the first time, and not...

    How to .........

    Thanks Madeleine- I was looking into Wix, but now see wordpress. I assume they will help me find a "website host"? I really need to get started on this website. Side note: many of you mentioned the need for a website, but when I went to do research about rates etc for local hotels, no one has a...

    How to keep interest in your place?

    Thank you for your suggestions. The webpage is a priority. The problem was we just weren't sure if the sale was going to happen. One of the owners died in the middle of the purchase and since this is in another country, there were ALOT of things to take care of. But anyway, it happened, and now...

Do you have a unique suggestion for the FIRST post by us, the new owners? And any other suggestions on how to keep...

    Training? What's in good training?

    Thank you very much! As it turns out, the owner looks to be long gone when we arrive. So I turned your suggestions into an email. I hope that at least half of them get answered. There will be a person near that has a good idea of the business, so we might just have them. But I do like your...

    Reservation Key is a success...

    Does RES Key work in two languages? Or is it possible to write both languages for each entry (for example: Sea/Mar room/habitation)- just wondering? (maybe not the best example...)
