At Bananaquit, we understand that plans can change. We aim to provide a clear and fair cancellation policy for our valued customers. This policy includes any meal packages or additional services that come with your booking. It also covers any changes you make to your original reservation. Therefore when booking with us, please pay close attention to the type of Travel Rate Plan you choose. This will determine the terms and eligibility for a refund.
We adhere to standard hotel practices for reservations and cancellations to protect the interests of both the customer and the hotel. This ensures customers receive a fair refund. It also offsets costs incurred by merchants, such as credit payment services, banks involved in the transaction, and commissions to third-party booking agents. Our commitment to customer satisfaction acknowledges the expenses of processing payments and providing services. We aim to foster a positive and equitable relationship with our customers, enhancing transparency and trust. We believe this approach will satisfactorily address any inconveniences or issues arising during the purchasing process. The Partial Refund Policy is designed to provide a fair and equitable resolution for all parties involved.
We recommend that our guests consider purchasing travel insurance to protect against unexpected changes in their plans. It’s important to note that this policy applies uniformly to all reservations. Please take a moment to review our cancellation policy outlined below.
