General Booking Terms and Conditions
Arrival time is from 2pm onwards, whilst we always endeavour to ensure that your room is ready for this time, this may not always be possible. If you arrive with us before your room being ready we will be happy to store your luggage securely and allow you to enjoy the resort.
Please note that check-in will not be permitted without a valid credit card or debit card. On arrival all guests will be required to provide a valid credit card or debit card to guarantee room payment (if not prepaid) as well as extras/incidentals. This card will be utilised to administer a pre-authorisation charge of the room rate per night, if not prepaid and £100 per room per night.
Please note although the card is not fully charged at this stage the authorised monies will be held against the likely purchase. The final form of payment for extras/incidentals may be changed on departure if you wish, however it should be noted that if you fail to complete your transaction at the point of departure with the same card utilised at check in, it may take up to 20 days for the monies to be released back to your account. Personal credit limits are the responsibility of the credit card holder and we do not take responsibility for any charges incurred as a result of any breach in these limits regardless of the length of time charges are held.
All guests must have vacated rooms on day of departure prior to 11am. Late check-out can be purchased from reception at an additional rate from £10 per hour subject to availability, checkout after 4pm will attract the full room rate of that day.
