Hazards
You have chosen a beautiful holiday destination; however, there is no destination without its particular hazards. Isla Escape is a beachfront property with its beaches, waves, rocks, step-ups and downs, shallow and deep water, rough and calm seawater, sun, etc. So, although many hazards are equal to the ones at home, your holiday destination, like others, is not without inherent risks and appropriate care should be taken to prevent unpleasant disturbances of holidays. Take ample precautions, wear suitable comfortable slippers when walking outside, use sun protection, watch your steps and, if you are not a confident swimmer, use a life vest when snorkeling or when using the kayaks. Children may go for a walk and end up at the edge of the neighbor’s pool, etc. If you drive a car, make yourself acquainted with the local traffic rules and habits before you start driving.
Driving in Mexico is safe but it is certainly different from driving at home. Tap water is not drinking water; drinking tap water may cause invasion of the body by bacteria that and may cause diarrhea.
