CostaCabana tries to keep the conditions as clear and short as possible. Please read the conditions carefully, because you (the hirer) as well as CostaCabana are bound to the rights and duties based on these conditions. You affirm and accept the following conditions through your reservation at CostaCabana.
CostaCabana acts as representative/middleman for the property owner and arranges only the conclusion of the hire contract between tenant and property owner. After the conclusion of the contract, the contract is always in effect between tenant and property owner. Between both parties there are rights and duties by means of that contract. In this contract CostaCabana is considered as representative of the property owner. The person, in whose name the booking is effected, is defined as tenant.
For every accommodation there is a maximum number of persons allowed. It's the tenant's duty to state the age of the group members as well as their combination before arrival. At violation of the limit of the permitted number of persons without explicit permission in written form by CostaCabana, the stay can be denied without reimbursement of costs.
Some accommodations can not be hired by youngsters. The minimum average age is mentioned at the accommodation's description. If it turns out that the tenants' party doesn't have the required average age for the accommodation (excluding children below 12 years), the stay can be denied without any reimbursement.
In many accommodations pets are prohibited or are only allowed for a fee. If you arrive with them without explicit permission in written form, the stay can be denied without any reimbursement.
CostaCabana reserves the right to deny the stay or to cancel the reservation.
As soon as CostaCabana accepted your reservation and the tenant has effected a partial payment of 35% of the full amount, the booking is secured. As long as the first payment is not made, the reservation of the accommodation will be unsecured, and open for booking by other parties. If the first payment is not received within 5 days after the booking, CostaCabana can cancel your reservation. The remaining amount has to be remitted at least 8 weeks before the start of the term of lease. Failure of timely payment will be seen as cancellation by the tenant, and will carry cancellation costs as set out in Cancellations. If between the day of the reservation and the start of the term of lease are less than 8 weeks, you have to pay the full amount immediately. Important: With the booking you receive a reservation number, mention this number with your payment. If you don't mention the reservation number, CostaCabana can't relate the payment to your booking.
It is not possible to change accommodation or period after acceptance of the reservation. Changes in occupancy or additional services may be possible, but are subject to availability. These changes can carry a change fee of € 35.
At cancellations not earlier than 4 weeks before the planned arrival, you have to pay the full amount. At cancellations earlier than 4 weeks, but not earlier than 8 weeks before the planned arrival, you have to pay 75% of the full amount. In all other cases you have to pay 50% of the full amount. You must send cancellations directly per email to CostaCabana and furthermore you have to send the cancellation in written form to CostaCabana. The day of the reception of the written confirmation is considered as the day of the cancellation.
If there appear any circumstances causing a cancellation of the already reserved holiday accommodation, the tenant will be informed about that as soon as possible, and if possible CostaCabana will offer an alternative. If this alternative is not accepted or if CostaCabana can't offer any alternative, the already paid amount will be reimbursed. The tenant has no more rights than the reimbursement of the already payed amount.
