RESERVATIONS POLICY

GUARANTEE POLICY:

A credit card is required to book this hotel reservation. If you wish to cancel, please do so in the allotted number of days below prior to arrival to avoid cancellation penalties. Should you cancel this hotel reservation within the allotted number of days of arrival, one night’s room and tax will be charged to this credit card. In the event you do not arrive on the above arrival date, your reservation will be cancelled and a one night’s room and tax will be charged to this credit card.

CREDIT AND DEBIT CARD POLICY

The credit or debit card used for booking must be the same card presented for payment along with a valid photo ID upon check-in. In addition to the deposit(s) taken prior to arrival, a pre-authorization amount will be placed on your card at check-in. This is a temporary hold of a specific amount – it is not a charge to your account, but it can create a hold on those funds or against credit availability. We also may charge your card for any damages to the room or premises you or your guests cause. Once your actual incurred charges are posted at check-out, based on your bank, credit card company, or institution’s policy, it can take anywhere from 24 hours to 30 days for the original pre-authorization amount to be removed. It is your responsibility to be aware of how your bank, credit card company, or institution handles all of your transactions, including pre-authorizations. The hotel will not be responsible for any delay in releasing funds, or returning availability or any fees or charges by your bank, credit card company, or institution as a result of your use of a credit or debit card. We are unable to remove pre-authorizations directly through our hotel. We do not accept any third-party billing. This policy applies for all reservations.

CANCELLATION POLICY:

7 days prior to date of arrival on applicable reservations. Advance Rate Plans are fully prepaid, non-changeable, and non-refundable. Should you cancel an Advance Rate Plan or in the event that you do not arrive on the arrival date, the full amount of the reservation shall be forfeited. Each particular rate plan has clearly defined cancellation polices as you proceed further into the booking process.

Rates quoted are based on check-in date and length of stay. Should you choose to depart early, price is subject to change. A State Tax of 6.5%, Occupancy Tax 5% and $40 nightly resort fee plus tax will apply to each reservation.
