Cancellations

Please note that since your destination is open for travel, the normal terms and conditions of the properties will apply, which is that the deposit payment is non-refundable since we must pay the properties at the time of booking to secure your reservation.

Should there be any COVID-19 travel restrictions reinstated in the future, or should other COVID-related issues prevent you from taking the trip (e.g. country closes its borders), you have the option to postpone your trip to a later date by giving written notice at least 60 days prior to the start of your trip.

You are advised to purchase comprehensive travel insurance to cover your trip, especially to provide coverage for illness including COVID-19 or a medical emergency during your trip, trip interruption, and trip cancellation. There are now many policies on the market which cover COVID-19 related issues, and there are also "Cancel for Any Reason" (CFAR) policies.
