- Please discourage students from bringing flip-flop footwear. This offers no
protection from broken glass or other discarded sharp objects.
- Our courses are intensive, and with the change of diet and routine, students
with specific medical requirements, e.g. self-managing diabetics, need to be
particularly careful in monitoring their condition during their stay.
- Try and structure the students' free time as much as possible. If you allow
students to leave the hotel after work in the evening, organise a signing-out
book.
- Everyone in the group is entitled to a good night's sleep and students
should be given a time for 'lights out' at night and encouraged to honour this.
This helps to ensure everyone is fresh in the morning. Accidents are more likely
to happen when students and staff are tired and stressed.
- A 'no smoking' policy for the hotel bedrooms and balconies is recommended.
- Try and keep a tight control on student alcohol intake. The legal age limit
in Catalonia for the purchase and consumption of alcohol in public places is 18
years. We recommend that you have a 'no-alcohol' policy with a possible
exception made for a tapas meal in
Sitges, where the restaurant staff will provide strong support in discouraging
'binge-drinking'.
- Please encourage students to be punctual.
- Maintaining a system that ensures students honour the 'lights out' time at
night enables everyone to get the sleep to which they are entitled. See
'Health and Safety' section above.
- It is important that students respect the needs of other guests staying in
the hotel. The slamming of doors, shouting in the corridors and between
balconies tend to quickly generate complaints and we would recommend that you
advise the group about this prior to arrival. Maintaining a 'no visitors' rule
for hotel bedrooms helps to significantly reduce noise levels. Students are able
to socialise in the hotel lounge and bar area.
