Hotel FAQs

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What would you like to know?

Here are the answers to some of our guests’ most frequently asked questions.

Booking


Can you provide an online quote?

Getting a no-obligation personalised quote is a quick and easy process. To see all of our prices and special offers, simply enter your intended arrival and departure dates, the number of adults and children in your party, and your accommodation preferences in the “online booking” section of our website

Can I book online?

Booking direct on our website is simple and convenient. For real-time prices and availability, simply enter the relevant information in the “online booking” section. We guarantee that you will find the very best prices on our website!

Why is it better to book via our official website rather than on another portal (e.g. Booking.com, Expedia, etc.)?

Booking direct through our site offers a number of extra benefits:

  • access to exclusive offers
  • 12.00pm checkout (rather than the 10.30am check-out required when booking through other sites)
  • all prices already include the local tourist tax (€2.00 per person per night)
  • special check-out (on your departure day you will be allowed to use the pools and spa until 8.00pm)
  • direct communication with our staff.

Why do your prices vary from day to day?

Prices vary depending on the availability of rooms, and as such they will be affected by changes in demand. Normally, the earlier you book, the lower the price will be.

Do I need a credit card to book?

A credit card is required for every booking. Even with bookings where payment is not required up front, the card is used as a form of guarantee. Nothing is charged to the card if a cancellation is made within the agreed timeframe

What are the payment and cancellation terms and conditions?

The payment and cancellation terms and conditions vary from one offer to the next.

  • Non-refundable: the offer must be paid upfront when booking, using a credit card, PayPal or bank transfer.
  • Free cancellation: The reservation can be freely changed or canceled until 48 hours before check-in (h. 2.00 pm on the day of arrival).

What is a pre-authorisation?

Pre-authorisation IS NOT AN ACTUAL CHARGE; rather, it allows us to “charge” an amount to your credit/debit card purely to verify the validity of the card details you provide us with during the booking process (and to check that there are funds available for the actual booking via that card). If you choose the “Free cancellation” rate, a pre-authorisation amount of the cost of the first night of your stay will be “charged” to your card.

  • When is the hotel pre-authorised?
    The hotel may check your card at any time. In the case of pre-paid cards, we recommend checking the availability of funds on the card before booking.
  • What happens if the pre-authorisation process result in your card being denied?
    If the card verification is unsuccessful, you will be asked to provide a new card with the necessary amount within 24 hours. If a new card is not provided or if an alternative card is supplied again with an insufficient balance, the reservation will automatically be cancelled.
  • What happens when I check-out?
    At check-out, you can still pay using your preferred method. If the outstanding balance is paid in cash, by debit card or using another card, the hotel will CANCEL the pre-authorisation amount and the amount in question will then be available on the card within 48-72 hours, depending on the bank and payment system used. Alternatively, you can request that the pre-authorisation process be CANCELLED, charging the booked amount to the credit card used during the booking process. If you wish to cancel the pre-authorisation process, please make sure that you have the card you used to make the booking when the time comes to check out. If you do not have the original card in your possession, the pre-authorisation process will be cancelled and you will then need to pay the outstanding balance with another credit/debit card or in cash.
  • Bank messages
    If you have SMS alerts activated (i.e. if you receive message every time your card is used for a payment), please be aware that on occasion the pre-authorisations are “confused” and may be considered as actual payments. This means that when a pre-authorisation is applied, many banks will send the exact same SMS that you would receive if you had made an actual payment. This creates a whole load of confusion because you may end up believing that the amount in question has been, whereas in truth what we are dealing with is a pre-authorisation payment, which equates to a “temporary” amount equating to the cost of the first night of your stay. In statements for pre-paid cards, pre-authorisations are sometimes classed as “pre-authorised charges” or “movements waiting for accounting”.

How do I know that my booking is confirmed?

At the conclusion of the booking process, you will receive an automated email with a confirmation code and a list of the services included in your booking.
