When do I need to pay for guest services?

To ensure the best experience with our guest services, please note the following payment guidelines:

  1. Standard Bookings:
    • Payment for guest services should be made at least 4 weeks (28 days) prior to your arrival date.
    • This timeline allows us to confirm and prepare all requested services for your stay.
  2. Late Bookings:
    • If you book guest services less than 4 weeks before arrival, payment should be made immediately upon booking.
    • Please be aware that last-minute bookings (typically within 4 weeks of arrival) may fall within the cancellation policies of our service providers.
  3. Cancellation Policy Considerations:
    • Bookings made or changes requested within 4 weeks of arrival are considered last-minute.
    • These last-minute bookings or changes could result in a loss of money if cancelled, as they may fall within our service providers' cancellation policies.
    • We strongly recommend securing and paying for your desired guest services as early as possible to avoid any potential issues.

Please note: Timely payment and early booking of guest services not only ensure their availability but also provide you with more flexibility in case your plans change.
