Press the top left button on the mando and hold for a couple of seconds to open the main gates, they close automatically behind you. When leaving, if you drive close enough to the gates they will open automatically.
In the event the gates don't open, it is usually because the electrics have stopped working. If you open the fuse box on the pillar to the right of the gates, if one of the switches is down, just push it back up!
You collect your main gate mando and key for the pedestrian gate (next to main gate) and key for your suite/apartment from the key safe outside the main entrance using the code provided to you in your welcome email. There is also a key safe outside of your apartment marked “Guest or Invitado” (uses the same code) which has a spare key for the suite/apartment for emergency use should you lock yourself out or lose your key (please put back after use).
OK, when the light doesn’t work, it’s usually the bulb and when the remote doesn’t work, it’s usually the batteries.
In the shower & cleaners house by the pool, you will find some spare bulbs and AA & AAA batteries should you need them for lights, remotes etc. Please only use if those you are provided with stop working.
There is a communal BBQ by the pool area. If you wish to use, please purchase your own charcoal (they sell in Mercadona supermarket) and the next person will appreciate it if you clean the BBQ and utensils after use.
We don’t want you setting fire to the place, so we have some battery-operated candles in your accommodation. To operate, use the remote provided and point it at the candle.
The games room is normally open from 11am to 10pm but can be variable!
You have a few games in your room (chess, cards, Rubik’s cube, dominos) but there are also a few more games in the games room you can borrow in the trunk marked "Juegos". Please return them when you finish with them.
If you are staying more than a week, spare laundry (sheets, duvet covers, pillow cases, towels, tea towels, etc) can be provided free of charge, please just ask. Otherwise, you are provided with a washing machine and clothes drying rack in your accommodation. There is also a tumble dryer you can use in the shower & cleaners house by the swimming pool.

Apart from the guests in the Olive Tree and Washington Palms apartments that have their own parking space, please use the general parking area immediately to the right after entering Laila. Park in the first part of the parking area as much as you can as it gets sandier the further you go into the parking area. If there is a lot of rain and it gets very wet and muddy, you can either park in the very first part where it is concrete or drive down the driveway further to near the fish pond or the bit going down to the pool but please just avoid blocking anyone in.
To turn on the lights around the pool and in the pool, use the little remote (please keep it in the outside pool kitchen area or we spend ages trying to find it again!). If you are the last one there please turn the lights off when you leave.
You have a mini safe in your accommodation. The safe starts with the code 0000. To open the safe, enter the correct 4-digit code and press the key or tick button (bottom right).
To change the code on the safe, when the safe is open remove the cover on the door to the battery compartment. Press the little red button inside the battery compartment, you will hear 2 bleeps. Then enter a 4-digit number and press the “Enter” or “Settings”key (bottom left). The new code is then set.
