We will do our best to keep you informed and comfortable in that case. * We are in the local neighborhood. Mexican people like to enjoy life and that could result with salsa music over holidays and sometimes on the weekends, this is true for the whole Island and for Mexico in general. We can’t stop our neighbors from doing that in this country. Note that there is no noise ordinance here. Our neighborhood is very quiet most of the time however there is empty lot on Calle Escabano that belongs to the taxistas ( taxi union) who use it time to time for their families to mostly celebrate 15th birthdays or" Quinceañeras for their kids or gather over holidays. These gatherings happen periodically and unfortunately we are not aware when the neighborhood will decide to get together and celebrate. We are in the active process changing our windows to soundproofing windows, adding soundproofing panels on the ceiling and soundproofing shutter and blinds to all our unit and half of our building has been completed already. Besides these modifications we have provided noise machines, Alexas and earplugs in all the rooms to help our noise sensitive guest.
