Breakages
We reserve the right to charge you for any breakages or damage that occurs while you are here at Tropical Hideaway. We are not concerned with minor breakages such as an occasional dish or glass etc, but where the damage is substantial e.g. appliances, televisions, doors, chairs, mosquito screens, sanitary ware, linens, drinks spilt over soft furnishings etc., you will be liable for the costs in replacing the damaged items. We live on a small island and goods have to be air freighted in from Europe or the USA. Shipping costs are expensive and local import duties are high. Please note our luxury linens and toweling can be seriously damaged by careless use of suntan creams and we would ask that you are especially careful with lotions and creams that you apply to your body. Replacement costs can be several hundred US dollars per room.
Check in – Check out times
Check in time is anytime after 2pm on the day of arrival. Check out time is 10am. These hours can sometimes be extended (no charge), if there is not a changeover of guests.
Credit card, Debit card and Bank transfer fees
An additional 3.0% card fee will be applied to all card payments (as charged to us by our bank). We can now accept Bank of America Zelle payments into our US dollar bank account and these transfers are usually without charge. Domestic bank transfers within the same country are also usually tariff free. International bank transfers will usually incur some charges on-route and any charges or deductions made by the banks will be added to your account.
