Daily housekeeping or daily change of sheets is not included. If you would like this additional service, we can arrange it with you at an extra cost.
**GARDEN MAINTENANCE: Due to the large tamarind tree located in the courtyard, we know that the leaves and fruit can be a nuisance. Therefore, we include a garden cleaning service (area with white stones) at least once a week, which will be coordinated with you in advance for your convenience. (THIS IS THE ONLY SERVICE AT NO ADDITIONAL COST). The guest is responsible for keeping the terrace-like area (concrete floor area) clean.

⚡ REGULATIONS FOR THE USE OF AIR CONDITIONERS: We know that Mérida is a hot city, so the house is equipped with air conditioners for your comfort. However, we ask our guests to use electricity responsibly:
* Continuous use of the air conditioners (24 hours) is not allowed.
* Use the units mainly for sleeping or during naps.
* Do not turn on more than one air conditioner at the same time.
* Keep the doors and windows closed while the air conditioning is on.
*Turn off the air conditioner every time you leave the room or the house.
*During the day, it is recommended to turn on the air conditioning for at least 15 minutes and then turn it off, using the ceiling fan. This will give you a feeling of coolness, save energy, and help prevent overheating or damage to the equipment, which could result in an extra charge.
* Consumption exceeding:
800 kWh from October to March will incur an additional charge.
1100 kWh from April to September will incur an additional charge
👉 RECOMMENDED SCHEDULE:
Sleep time: 8:00 PM to 10:00 AM → Air conditioning on.
During the day: from 10:00 AM onwards → AC off and use a fan.
Nap time: from 5:00 to 6:00 pm → Air conditioning on only during that time, then turn it off.
🌡️ Additional recommendation:
If it is very hot during the day, we suggest turning on the air conditioning for an hour to cool off and then turning it off again.
⚠️ Important:
The air conditioner in the living room is exclusively for that area. It should not be used for the kitchen or as a supplement for the bedroom.
By keeping the room's sliding door closed, the room stays cool and we help save energy.
- PET RULES The guest is responsible for any damage caused by their pet to furniture, bed linens, extra cleaning, and garden areas. Such damage will result in an extra charge, the amount of which will depend on the object affected and the extent of the damage.
The house has a large patio, but the pet must not go beyond the designated area. Casa Omaba is not responsible for any accidents or injuries to the pet.
Constant vigilance must be maintained to avoid mistreatment or damage to the green area.
Pets may sleep indoors as long as the area is left clean and free of hair at the time of checkout.
The terrace has a shade netting, ideal for protecting pets from the sun. However, it does not protect against rain or dew. Remember that the climate in Mérida is very hot and there is a risk of dehydration, for which Casa Omaba is not responsible.
For health reasons, no blankets or beds are provided for pets. Each owner is responsible for bringing the items necessary for the pet's well-being. At Casa Omaba, only water bowls and paw cleaning wipes are provided.
PLANT CARE: Due to the excessive heat in our city, the plants cannot be watered during the day. That is why we ask for the cooperation of our guests for stays of 5 days or more to water them every other day.
EXERCISE: Enjoy a large courtyard where you can do your exercise routines or practice yoga. We provide you with a 6 kg kettlebell, yoga mats, and a ball that are ready to use.

Other things to note
**Casa Omaba is located in a residential area near the heart of Merida, just a few steps from the emblematic Plaza Grande. From our house you can admire the clock of the Municipal Palace, where there are numerous free cultural and artistic events, and you can walk to in just 10 minutes.
Its privileged location allows you to enjoy the city on foot: the Mercado de San Benito, perfect for your daily shopping, as well as convenience stores, supermarkets, minimarkets, pharmacies, bakeries and homemade loncherias are very close. You'll also find cozy cafes and bars, plus being walking distance to the best nightlife in Mérida.
It is also the best area to live the Day of the Dead celebrations: we are only 32 minutes from the General Cemetery, two blocks from the traditional Paseo de las Ánimas and very close to the unique decorations of the Park of San Juan.
For beach lovers, transportation stations to the iconic coasts of Celestún and Progreso are practically on your doorstep. And the best: you can enjoy all this and at the same time work comfortably thanks to the tranquility of the area and its excellent connectivity.
* We have great discounts on stays of 28 days or more.
*Mérida is a lovely city with a tropical climate, which means that during the rainy season (mainly from June to October) intense rains can occur in short periods of time. This can cause temporary swarms in some streets or areas of the city, especially if the rains are very heavy.
We ask for understanding as these climatic conditions are natural to the region and beyond our control. Occasionally, due to gusts of wind, momentary failures in the electricity supply may occur. For peace of mind, we have equipped the house with some basic instruments - such as flashlights and candles - to help you cope with any inconvenience. This is a residential house, therefore, it does not have a power generator in case of a power outage. We do all in our power to make your stay safe, comfortable and pleasant, rain or shine.
**As a good tropical and hot city, it is common to observe insects in the garden area that can sometimes enter the house. These are endemic, non-poisonous species that can appear despite fumigations carried out every 15 days. For your convenience, insecticide is provided.
Repellent is also offered for use inside the house, especially during the rainy season, when mosquitoes may occur in the area.
It is recommended not to accumulate garbage and to keep inorganic waste bagged and in the backyard bin, always covered, to prevent the spread of pests. If you have any problems, please don't hesitate to contact us; we'll be happy to help.
**Small gatherings of up to 7 or 8 people are allowed, as long as they do not involve overnight stays by additional guests. If held, the meetings may last approximately between 8:00 pm and 2:00 am, provided that they are held in the patio area and the rest and tranquility of the neighborhood are respected.
**If the barbecue is used, constant supervision is required and make sure to completely extinguish the charcoal at the end. Likewise, please take care of the apartment and facilities during your stay, as any damage or special cleaning could generate additional charges.
**The house is in a residential area, so we have neighbors who lead a normal daily life. It is possible to hear common sounds from the environment, such as traffic or activities typical of a Yucatecan neighborhood.
Some neighbors have adorable cats as pets, which can occasionally walk around the garden. They are friendly animals, but it is recommended not to approach them and, instead, to gently chase them away. The guest is fully responsible for any damage or incident that may occur when having contact with the animals.
**Are you a yoga instructor, functional training or similar? This is the place for you. If you are on vacation but don't want to stop sharing your passion and knowledge, please contact me! We can coordinate for you to teach your lessons here during your stay.
