SECURITY POLICIES

Emergency exits
A card containing the procedures has been placed on the back of each suite’s front door. It is important that you detect the emergency exits. We recommend you to choose a side of the hallway and, as you go to the exit, count the doors, locate them and walk to the nearest fire extinguisher on your suite’s floor. This will help you remember the distance and location of the exits.

Alarm announcement
If you hear an alarm from your suite, stay in it, and be alert since our staff will promptly inform you what to do.

Fire
If you discover fire, close any doors near the fire source to prevent it from spreading. Dial 0 immediately to report the emergency or activate the nearest station by pulling the red emergency lever. 

If you leave your suite, follow the evacuation route, and always carry your key with you. Do not use elevators as emergency exits without exception.

Evacuation
If you receive the order to evacuate your room or suite, take your key, personal documents, and valuable items locked in your safety deposit box with you.
 
Make sure the door handle is not too hot before opening; with the back of your hand, touch the door and check if it is hot or cold. Close immediately if there is a heavy fire outside and stay in your room.

 
If there is little or no smoke at all in the hallway, go to the nearest exit. While on your way stay close to the walls. In case it is dark or smoky, count the doors towards the exit and guide yourself with the wall. If the stairs are safe, go straight to the lobby.

We recommend you take a few minutes to review the following information.

Blocked exits
In case the stairs are filled with smoke and your exit is unsafe, return to your room. Please read the following instructions to know what to do in case you cannot leave:

Turn off the air conditioning to prevent smoke from
being sucked into your suite.

Put a damp cloth at the entrance of your door to
prevent smoke from entering.

All the slits should be covered with a damp cloth.
If your room or suite has a jacuzzi, fill it with water.
Keep trash cans or ice containers close and fill them with water; moisten towels and linens to keep the smoke out.
Contact the operator to inform your exact location.

Hurricanes

The Pacific coast in the state of Jalisco is characterized by calm waters. However, measures have been adopted in the event of a hurricane. According to the monitoring of tropical storms, there are different phases and types of alerts, of which you will be informed in time by our staff. In the event of a tropical storm or hurricane, stay calm and follow the directions of our staff. 

If you are in a threatened area outside the hotel, follow the instructions of the local official authorities, immediately leave the danger area and go to the designated shelters if the authorities indicate it.

Remember to stay calm. Once the threat has ended, the authorities and/or hotel staff will give you instructions to follow. The hotel has trained brigades to activate first aid until the competent authorities arrive.
