ROOM ALLOCATION

While we attempt to satisfy all requests, we are unable to guarantee any such requests. Upon check-in you will be allocated the most appropriate apartment available. As requests are over and above the agreed standard room, compensation will not be forthcoming if these requests are not met.

In the event of a situation whereby Pelican Sands cannot provide accommodation as previously confirmed, for whatever reason, Pelican Sands will undertake to relocate clients into an alternative property of equal or better grading at no expense to the client. Should there not be a resort of equal or better grading in the vicinity of the original booking, Pelican Sands may be required to provide you with a resort of a lesser grading. If this is the case, any reduction in costs will be refunded. The alternatives offered are at Pelican Sands discretion. Should you wish to choose a property of a standard other than that offered under this condition then you will be required to pay any difference.


TRAVEL INSURANCE

We strongly recommend you purchase comprehensive travel insurance at time of booking. We suggest that the policy should include, but not be limited to, the following cover: Loss of deposit through cancellation; loss or damage to personal baggage and loss of money and medical expenses.

The property has the right to refuse any booking, when the legal guardian over 18 cannot provide current photo ID if requested. The person who has made a booking shall be deemed to have accepted the booking conditions on behalf of all persons named in the booking.

Accommodation facilities listed may not apply to all room types.
