These terms and conditions (the "Terms") set out the entire agreement between you and us for your vacation (“Contract”). We intend to rely upon these Terms in relation to the Contract between you and us.

3. MAKING A BOOKING

How to make a booking

In order to submit a Booking Request, you will need to complete a booking form (either on the website, by email, over the phone or at the Property).

Our acceptance of your Booking Request is at our absolute discretion and will only take place once we issue an email confirming your booking containing a booking confirmation number.

Conditions of booking

By making a Booking Request you confirm on behalf of all persons in your party that:

· there is at least one person in your party that is at least over 18 at the time of the stay;

· you have read and agree to be bound by these Terms;

· you accept financial responsibility for payment of the booking on behalf of all persons in your party; and

· you will be responsible for any loss or damage caused by you or any member of your party accompanying you.

Please note that we do permit a transfer of a booking to another person or party. The existing booking will be transferred and all terms as set out within this document are transferred simultaneously.

Booking duration

Unless varied from time to time by specific promotional activity (e.g., two-night breaks), bookings are subject to a minimum stay requirement of 3 nights.

If you have to cut your booking short for any reason, we cannot give you a refund under our standard Terms. If the remaining untaken vacation days exceeds 6 nights, all remaining nights may be rebooked in one reservation, within one year. Seasonal blackout dates may apply.

4. PRICES

The price includes:

· use of your accommodation for the maximum number of guests we indicate; and

· use of Sand Dollar Bonaire amenities or services described as included in the price of your accommodation in the information provided to you on our website.

Prices do not include the Bonaire Visitor Entry Tax for all guests 13 years of age or older. This tax must be paid regardless of any promotion offering a free night accommodation.

Prices do not include any additional services, features and facilities unless they have been specifically included as part of a promotion to your booking.

5. PAYMENT

If you place your booking more than 30 days prior to the start date of your vacation, we will request a deposit (“Standard Deposit”) of $300 per reservation. The balance of the full payment will be due 30 days prior to the start date of your vacation. If we do not receive the full payment from you by the due date, or notification of the need to rebook, we will treat this as a cancellation of the booking and you will forfeit the total cost of any payments made to date.

For all bookings received within 30 days of your vacation start date, full payment is due at the time of booking.

Payment for bookings can be made by Credit Card (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Amex) or direct bank transfer (Bonaire or USA). either online or over the telephone.

6. SPECIAL REQUESTS

If you have a preference for a particular condo or any specific request, please let us know at the time of booking. We will, wherever possible, try to meet your requirements subject to availability. However, we cannot guarantee your preference at the time of booking and cannot accept bookings on this basis.

There is a Specific Apartment Fee of $10 per night. This fee is waived for a direct booking. Any specific request must always be confirmed by Sand Dollar Reservations in writing by email.
