When 911 Isn't an Option: Managing Guest Emergencies

From surf accidents to allergic reactions, your property manager is the first line of defense. We are ready.

When 911 Isn't an Option: Managing Guest Emergencies

In remote areas like Santa Teresa or Nosara, emergency services do not operate like they do in the US. Ambulance response times can be slow. When a guest cuts their foot on a reef or has a medical episode at 2 AM, they call the property manager, not 911.

The Liability of Inaction

An unanswered phone during an emergency is a disaster for your reputation and a potential legal liability. If a guest feels abandoned during a crisis, they will let the world know.
