As much as we all like to get away from 'everything', we know that is very difficult in today's world. We all want to be able to be 'in touch' when necessary.
Finally...you don't have to worry about an emergency at home or the office, while you're enjoying yourself at the beach. We are proud to be able to offer phone service for incoming calls and wireless internet access! Relax and maintain peace of mind, both personally and professionally because you know you can be reached in case of a emergency. After all, you came to the beach to relax....not to worry about what might be going on in the outside world!
Imagine this - you have left the office in the middle of a big project and can't bear not being able to check in. So you pack up the family and head home, even though the family (& you) would rather be enjoying the beach.
That doesn't have to happen anymore. Leave the Castillo de Arena phone number with anyone who would need to contact you and/or bring along your laptop (see below for the technical details).
