We will immediately charge your credit card 100% of the amount
your reservation represents as soon as we receive the relevant

The aforementioned documents are required in the Maldives to accept
credit card payments offline. Please check the booking terms,
conditions and cancellation policy before making payment
Your rights if we cancel :
We undertake to inform you without delay if we cancel your
reservation and will offer you an alternative of at least a
comparable standard (if one is available) or a full refund of the
deposit within 21 days. We will take all reasonable steps to ensure
that your accommodation is available on your arrival. However, if we
are aware of it being overbooked before the time of your departure
we will inform you and offer you an alternative of at least equal
standard (if available) or a full refund of the payment. If we are
unaware of the overbooking at the time of your departure then we
will offer appropriate compensation, if the alternative
accommodation offered is substandard to the accommodation originally
booked.
Our liability to you :
We accept responsibility for ensuring that the services we deliver
to you are of the highest standard possible.
Personal injury :
We accept responsibility for the negligent acts and errors of our
employees. We cannot, however, be held responsible for any other
circumstances that lead to the death, bodily injury or illness of
you or any other individual.
Client service :
If you have a complaint or are unhappy with the services provided,
please make it known as soon as possible, either to the management
of the accommodation, the guide or directly to us. Please provide
the fullest details as early as possible. Every effort will be made
to arrive at a fair and satisfactory conclusion for the best of all
involved.
Your deposit :
Once a reservation is confirmed, we will charge you a non-refundable
minimum fee of USD 100.00, as an administration charge. This amount
will be deducted from the total amount for your holiday. We need
100% of the total amount as a deposit for groups of 12 and above

We require payment in full after confirmation or at least 30 days
before your arrival. You can pay with your credit card, using a wire

form, both to be sent to us via fax.
For bookings made less than 30 days before arrival, full payment
must be made immediately. If you cancel your reservation, your
payment is subject to cancellation charges. Please check the
relevant cancellation charge for your particular reservation before
you confirm any bookings, as different hotels impose different
cancellation charges and may also vary depending on the time of
year.
Normal cancellation
made by you :
We accept any confirmed cancellation of a reservation. Such a
cancellation is effective on the day it is received by us. The
client will be notified of the acceptance of the cancellation. The
cancellation policy applies to all reservations and is your (the
client’s) duty to be aware of any applicable cancellation charges.

Cancellations received less than 21 days before arrival – 20% of
the total package/value of the invoice.

total package/value of the invoice.

amount, if you cancel a reservation, in addition to the cancellation
charge (if applicable).
Important :

policies and charges vary at different periods of the year.
During Christmas and New Year, the cancellation charge is 100%, for
cancellations within 30 days of arrival. Once again, please make
sure you are aware of the cancellation charge for your particular
reservation before you confirm it with us. We reserve the right to
make any appropriate charges to our clients directly.

If required, we can accept booking requests as late as 6 hours
before arrival. The client must already have booked all flights
prior to the late reservation.

days before departure and is accepted by us, we reserve the right to
charge an administration fee of up to USD$ 30 per booking, plus any extra charges resulting from the change of booking. In any other case, the request will be treated, at our discretion, as a cancellation.
