First Arriving at the Apartment
Enter into your car’s navigation Avineda Mar Mediterraneo 1B, Oliva 46780. If that doesn’t work then La Goleta, Carrer de la Mar Mediterraneo, 7, 46780 Oliva. That’s a restaurant on the corner of the next street.
When you get off the highway you will be brought into the charming town of Oliva. Then you’ll drive towards the beach on a road with palm trees. Soon you’ll see a Burger King and Holiday Inn on your right. you are very close to the apartment. Immediately after passing the Burger King and Holiday Inn Express you will come to a roundabout with a large anchor in the middle of it. The blue apartment building on the corner of the roundabout is the beach apartment.
From the roundabout, take the second exit so that the blue apartment building is on your left. Try to find a parking space there on that street. Put your hazard lights on so they are blinking. Take your things out of your car. And walk behind the blue apartment building that is on the street corner. There is a staircase that goes up the back of the apartment building. The beach apartment is on the first floor. It is the door on the right. This is the entrance to the apartment.
Key Pick Up
We will not be there to hand over the keys. This apartment is self check in with lockbox.
The lockbox password is 1977.
A lockbox is on the stair railing. Flip open the front and you will find 4 dials. Turn the dials to 1977. Then flip the black switch. The lockbox will open and inside will be 1 set of keys. Take out the keys and close the lockbox fully.
There are 2 keys in total. They unlock the 2 locks on the door of the apartment.
When you enter the apartment there are a few small storage boxes on the large storage closet in the entry way. Feel free to store your keys there for easy access. On the inside of the door you will find 3 locks: the top 2 locks that have their respective keys, and a bottom lock that only locks from inside. There is no door handle on the inside of the door. This is actually a great way to never lock yourself out. You must close at least 1 of the locks when inside the apartment to keep the door closed. And when leaving the apartment you can’t lock yourself out by accident. You must lock both of the locks with the keys to keep the door closed.
Parking
Yes. You can park for free on the street. But in peak season, sometimes there aren’t that many parking spots. An excellent alternative is right across the street, back in the direction of Burger King and Holiday Inn Express but on the right side of the street. There you’ll find a free parking lot. However, the first time entering it with your car can be confusing. I’d highly recommend unloading all of your luggage in the apartment and then walking across the street to see where you can enter the parking lot with your car. You want to walk with your back to the apartment building and in the direction of Burger King and Holiday Inn Express but on the right side of the street. In just a few steps as you are about to get back onto the road, you’ll see an entrance into the free parking lot. Think of it as the last exit before getting back on the road with the palm trees on it. That is how you enter and exit the free parking lot. Now walk back to your car, drive around the roundabout with the large anchor in the middle, leave the roundabout as if you are driving back to the street with the palm trees on it, and then drive into the free parking lot. Even in the height of summer, you can always find a parking spot in that free parking lot.
When first arriving at Oliva Beach it may seen stressful understanding how the roads are laid out. But very soon you will see how easy it is, once you know where the roads go. When you start exploring everything on foot you’ll see just how central you are to everything and will only need your car to travel outside of Oliva Beach.
Apartment Guide
Sets of Keys
Inside the lockbox there is 1 set of keys to get you into the apartment.
Upon entering the apartment there are small storage boxes on the side of the large storage unit in the entryway. During your stay please leave all sets of keys in the small storage boxes so you don’t forget them anywhere.
You are responsible for all of the sets of keys during your stay.
If you lose a set of keys during your stay you will be charged extra to replace them.
The 2 Lock Rule
Oliva is a safe place. That said, it is traditional to have many locks on the doors for everyone’s safety.
Your safety is of utmost priority to us. We understand that locking 2 locks each time you go through the front door can be annoying. But we’d rather you be annoyed for a few seconds than be responsible for damages or losses due to not locking the 2 top locks.
THAT’S WHY WE ASK YOU TO PLEASE LOCK THE 2 TOP LOCKS LOCKS DURING YOUR STAY.
WiFi Information
The apartment has WiFi throughout. There is 1 WiFi box in the living room that spreads enough WiFi throughout the entire apartment with no problems. The WiFi name and password are printed on your welcome pack in the kitchen for you to easily get online.
Air Conditioning & Heating
In Spain, the air conditioners are multi-functional. In the summers they work to keep you cool. And in the winters they work to keep you warm. There is an air conditioner in all of the rooms in the apartment. Each conditioner has its own remote control. Point the remote control at the air conditioner and press the main button to turn it on. You will hear a short beep and the bottom covering will move and that is where the air will come out.
For cool air, press the Mode button as many times until you see the snowflake symbol on the remote’s display.
For warm air, press the Mode button as many times until you see the sun symbol on the remote’s display.
To increase or decrease the temperature, press the up or down arrows on the remote.
To increase or decrease the fan’s level, press the Fan button as many times as you like until it is at the level you prefer.
To turn the air conditioner off, point the remote control at the air conditioner and press the main button until you hear a long beep. Then the bottom flap will close and cover where the air used to come out.
PLEASE TURN OFF ALL AIR CONDITIONERS BEFORE LEAVING THE HOUSE.
TROUBLESHOOTING: If you turn the air conditioner on, hear the short beep, but the bottom covering does not move - just wait and be patient. The air conditioner may not have been used for a while and may need to to warm up. Wait a few minutes and soon the bottom covering will open up and begin blowing air.
TROUBLESHOOTING: If you are trying to turn the air conditioner on or off and it’s not beeping, walk closer to the air conditioner, point the remote directly at it, and press the main button again. If that still doesn’t work, then the batteries may need to be replaced. Extra batteries are in the kitchen in the drawer below the microwave.
Wall heaters are all unplugged as to not heat the apartment unknowingly. If you would like to heat up one room using the wall heart, simply plug it in, and press the on button on the heater, and your desired temperature. You may notice that the room gets warm quickly, especially with the door closed, so you may not need to keep the wall heater on for a long time as it works fast.
PLEASE UNPLUG ALL WALL HEATERS BEFORE LEAVING THE HOUSE.
