Under Construction

Well our predecessors decided to take walls and all and have left us with this shell to build our own office design which was very helpful. Our plan is to double the size of the manager office to allow for a conference room for our owners and management meetings. When completed we will notify you so you can come and visit us. Project should be completed at the time of delivery of this newsletter. Also underway is the Laundry and Maintenance areas. After completing the walls we will add shelving enough to accommodate all our towels and linen. We have set aside room for future laundry equipment. Currently we sub this out to a local commercial laundry. Our maintenance room will be constructed with an office area for our Maintenance Supervisor and storage of critical parts for servicing your properties. We hope to add additional space for storage of backup appliances so we can quickly make repairs with the least amount of time spent interrupting guests vacations.

Property Inspections

We made a plan for keeping all your belongings and valuables safe, and of course, the property itself.

Our Head of Housekeeping, Alejandra Fierros, with the help of our housekeeping team, will watch every little detail before the guest enters and right after he leaves.

Property inspections will be a process to keep it up. It will be established as a high priority for this project. We are inspecting every condo in Sonoran Spa and will keep doing it, counting and taking pictures of every item in the condo so you don’t have to worry if you forget something or miss something. We will have it on the inventory!

Our team is growing up, it means that we can do this process more effective and faster. We take your property very serious, and we are sure that you will not have any issue with missing items.

Owner Feedback!

We know that getting things back on track and make them work as perfect as possible requires hard work, and that is how we do. We have been receiving positive feedback from owners and we are glad to hear that. Is for sure that we are not going to stop raising our quality service.

One of our Owner wrote us: “Your new management crew is doing a great job!, Our place is spotless and the folded towels in the kitchen and baths are super cute”

We would like to thank you for your feedback and we hope to keep receiving them. Castaways is always open to your suggestions and comments good or bad.
