No-fuss flexi bookings

72-hour & 14-day cancellation options

Following the impact of the global lockdown, we have reviewed and refreshed our terms & conditions to ensure planning your future visit is a joy.

The new flexible rate

We have amended our flexible rate to give you even greater peace of mind.

• Pay a 20% deposit at the time of booking
• Pay the balance 14 days prior to arrival
• Modify or cancel your stay for a full refund at least 72 hours prior to arrival

The new advance purchase rate

Our new advance purchase rate provides great savings and superb flexibility.

• Save up to 10% compared to the flexible rate
• Pay the full balance at the time of booking
• Modify or cancel your stay for a full refund up to 14 days prior to arrival

The benefits of booking direct

Managing concerns of a second lockdown

Our terms & conditions are clear. If we are required to temporarily close the resort for any reason, your booking is safe. We will work with you to modify your stay dates to another time of your choosing, no matter which rate you booked on or how soon you were due to visit. If the new dates are on sale at a lower rate, we will refund the difference; and if they are at a higher rate, we will request you to make a top-up payment. Where new dates cannot be agreed, we will refund the full value of your cancelled stay.

Further comfort

We continue to recommend you take out travel insurance prior to making your booking in case you need to cancel your forthcoming trip after the free cancellation period has elapsed.
