The contract entered into is between the owner of the holiday accommodation and the holidaymaker, hereinafter referred to as “The hirer”. The contract is not effective until required payment has been received and confirmation has been sent to the hirer.
We categorize the year into three (3) seasons: Peak, High and Low season. Please check the seasons under Reservation - Rates.
A deposit of 50% of the rental amount must be received within two (2) working days after the relevant invoice and payment instructions have been given to the hirer. If a deposit is not received within this time, the booking will be cancelled. If a deposit is not received within this time, it is within the discretion of the owner to cancel the booking.
Final payment is required 45 days prior to arrival (60 days for Christmas/New Year bookings) or immediately if booking is made less than 45 days prior to arrival (or 60 days in the case of Christmas/New Years bookings). If the balance payment is not received by the due date, the owner reserves the right to cancel the booking and retain the hirer’s deposit.
In the case of bookings made 45 days prior to arrival, full payment is required within two (2) working days, or on arrival, if less than two (2) working days, whichever comes first.
All payments can be made by Bank transfer or Credit card. Some conditions apply and full details will be given at the time of booking.
Payments by Traveller’s Cheques, other currencies or personal cheques, will not be accepted.
All clients will be asked to sign a Waiver of Liability and a credit card authorization form, which will allow the Agency to charge the card any charges that clients incur while at the villa
In the case of last minute bookings, where is it impractical or very difficult for the hirer to make a deposit by TT, we will accept cash (2003 or newer, unmarked USD banknotes – F series or newer only) on arrival. However, a credit card authorization form will need to be used to ensure deposit requirements are met. This form will need to be accompanied by photocopies of both sides of the credit card, a photocopy of holder’s passport, and written authorization. The funds will be held as security and that the transaction will be reversed only upon receipt of alternative payment.
If the reservation is cancelled 61 days or more prior to arrival (91 days for Christmas/ New Year bookings), deposits will be refunded in full less US$500.00 OR 20% of the total booking value (whichever is greater). Reservations cancelled less than 61 days prior to arrival are subject to a complete forfeiture of deposit to compensate the owner for the time and effort involved in making a booking and to compensate the owner for the loss of other potential bookings that have turned down once a booking has been confirmed.
Notice of cancellation must be received in writing.
Final payments are non-refundable.
