I understand Dewachen is a masterpiece in progress in the middle of the jungle in Costa Rica. I understand it is common in rural situations for electric or water to go out temporarily. I understand bugs and critters co-exist in the jungle. Though preventative measures are taken by the hosts, it is possible I may see them in and around personal or shared spaces. (Our service team will happily help you.)	I understand and accept. I have questions and need somone to contact me.
