As with most areas in Spain, there is on-going construction work, Where we believe this may affect the quality of your holiday we have included the relevant information in the property details

COMMUNAL SWIMMING POOLS

Swimming pools may close for parts of the day, may close for maintenance purposes or other reasons and may fully close during the winter months. OPGROUPSPAIN cannot and will not be held responsible should this happen during your stay. The management of swimming pools, their times of opening, usage rules and maintenance schedules are the responsibility of the local Community of Owners and as such is outside of the control of OPGROUPSPAIN and/or the Owner. The opening and closing times along with the rules of the pool are clearly displayed at the entrance to each swimming pool and you are expected to abide by these rules. Breach of the rules may result in pool access being denied to you. In the case of villas with private swimming pools it is The Renter's responsibility to familiarize themselves with the pool, access and depths. Swimming pools can be dangerous places if not used correctly, especially for children. You are solely responsible for your own safety and that of the members of your party, guests and friends. We strongly advise that you purchase suitable travel insurance.

SATELLITE TELEVISION

The packages may differ between properties depending on the system individual properties subscribe to. Channels may change or may become unavailable over which OPGROUPSPAIN have no control. Reception can be variable from time to time and may disappear completely for periods. This is usually due to weather conditions and is particularly so for UK channels as southern Spain is on the edge of the satellite footprint. From time to time the local supplier(s) may have to carry out maintenance resulting in complete loss of service. In all instances OPGROUPSPAIN cannot be held responsible for loss of service.

We promise to respond within 10 working days. Any complaint not reported to OPGROUPSPAIN at the time the problem occurs but only reported after The Renter's return home will not be considered valid. OPGROUPSPAIN cannot be held responsible for any temporary defect or malfunction of any appliance, equipment or machinery in the building, grounds or swimming pool. Under no circumstances shall our liability exceed the amount paid by The Renter for the rental period.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTIONS
