As per Barbados Law smoking and the use of e-cigarettes are prohibited in all rooms, balconies, corridors, restaurants and public spaces, therefore the hotel has created dedicated spaces for smoking and vaping. A charge of 250 US$ will be applied to your guest account for any breach of this policy.
There is a mandatory incidental deposit taken at check-in by either a credit card or a cash deposit. Guests are recommended to activate signing privileges by allowing a deposit of US$250.00 to be authorised on their credit card or they can decline this service and instead deposit a fixed amount of US$250 in cash. All unused amounts of the deposit will be refunded on departure.
If a guest wishes to check out from the hotel early, the refund will be based on the total stayed room nights plus 3 (unused) nights. The balance of the reservation will be refunded to the guest if the reservation was made directly with the hotel. If this was done through a tour operator or travel agent then the refund will be done through the third party.
