The information on this site is offered as general guidance. We keep it carefully, but it may change without notice. Photographs and descriptions are representative, and the suite you are given may differ in small details. Rates and availability may change.

3. Zicatela Beach and ocean safety
Zicatela is known around the world for its waves, the Mexican Pipeline, and it is among the most dangerous beaches anywhere for swimming. While you stay at Casa Leah, please keep in mind:
- Zicatela has powerful rip currents that can carry even strong swimmers far offshore within minutes.
- The shore break is violent and can knock you down and injure you.
- Waves regularly reach 10 to 15 feet (3 to 4.5 m) and can exceed 20 feet (6 m) in the south-swell season, May to September.
- Swimming at Zicatela is not recommended. The beach is for experienced surfers and for watching from the sand.
- Follow the flags: red means danger, stay out; yellow means caution; green means calmer.
- For swimming, choose the sheltered bays of Carrizalillo and Manzanillo.
- If you are learning to surf, go with instructors who know these waters, at La Punta or Carrizalillo.
The Hotel is not responsible for accidents, injuries or incidents on the beach or in the ocean.
4. Tours, activities and excursions
Tours and excursions (Manialtepec, Chacahua, Huatulco, surf lessons, massages and others) are run by independent operators. The Hotel acts only as a referral and is not responsible for the quality, safety or delivery of those services.
5. Solicitors in the area
Timeshare salespeople sometimes work Zicatela, offering 'free' tours or breakfasts in exchange for attending a sales presentation. They have no connection with Casa Leah, and you are under no obligation to go.
6. Health and safety
- Each guest is responsible for their own health and physical condition.
- The sun in Puerto is strong all year: wear sunscreen and drink plenty of water.
- The house has stairs and some uneven surfaces; wear suitable footwear.
7. Weather and nature
- The eastern Pacific hurricane season runs from May 15 to November 30, with the higher risk from August to October. Storms can affect activities and the town's power supply.
- Insects, geckos and the occasional sea creature on the sand are part of life on this coast.
