Every house has its little eccentricities and Unit 38 is no exception. When I first purchased the house and came to stay, there were a few things I had to figure out. Hopefully this will cover everything, so you don’t have to use trial and error like I did. The first thing I would bring to your attention is that the switches on the walls for the fans are in reverse order. Number one is high and number four is low. The other way around seems logical to me, but that’s the way it is.
The electrical outlets are the same as Canada and the U.S.
Each room has an air conditioner with its own remote. The battery compartment for the air conditioner remote in the master bedroom doesn’t always close properly. If you have trouble with it, make sure the back is closed tightly. Just below the on/off button is the mode button. It doesn’t say mode on it; it’s got something that looks like a fan underneath it. If the mode looks sort of like a snowflake then the air-conditioning is on. press the mode button again and it’ll turn to what looks like a raindrop. That is the dehumidifier. Press it again and it will change to what looks like a fan. That means that the fan is running but the air-conditioner is not on. If you have the air-conditioning on and you can press too warm it will decrease the temperature by one degree each time you press it or press too cool to make the air-conditioning, go up one degree. If you press the button that looks like a fan, it will change the fan speed. If you find that the room is not cooling off quickly enough, you may need to turn up the fan speed. Electricity is VERY expensive in the Bahamas so please do not leave the air-conditioners running when you leave the house. They do cool the room very quickly when you turn them on and please turn them off when you check out.
If you find that the picture on the TV in the living area is fuzzy, try pressing the button that says Sony on it which is the number two button. That seems to help.
The island does have the occasional power outage. If you are in Exuma for a week, you’ll probably encounter it one or two times. It doesn’t usually last more than an hour. In my experience, it’s always been in the evening. There is a flashlight in the pantry near the laundry room and another one in the closet in the downstairs hall. After a power outage, you may find that you need to reconnect your devices to the Wi-Fi.
