GUIDELINES

By using our website, you agree to follow and abide by the guidelines set out below. These guidelines may be revised from time to time and it is strongly advisable that you check this page regularly to take notice of any change we may have brought to the guidelines.

  • Accommodation
  • Hotel Grades

Choosing the right hotel can be a dilemma.  Whilst most hotels have official star ratings, in some cases, these cannot always be relied upon. We have categorised all hotels online to give you a general guide. Standards can however vary between hotels of the same class. It is important that you carefully read the individual hotel descriptions before making a choice.

  • Triple/Quad Rooms

A third or fourth person sharing a room either shares existing beds or has an extra bed (which may be of camp-bed style) placed in a double/twin room. As conditions may be cramped you may wish to consider booking two rooms.

  • Children

Car Seats

If you are travelling with young children, it is important to note that child seats are not provided for transfers and the relevant and applicable legislation varies from country to country.  If you specifically require a car seat, we advise you to either take your own with you or call our Sales team and we will do our utmost to try and arrange this for you – there may well be an additional charge for this.

Free child accommodation stays

Where we offer ‘free child accommodation stays’ at many of our hotels, these are generally based on sharing existing beds in the room. If you require a separate bed, you must advise us at the time of booking, as there may well be a charge added to your booking, or this charge may be payable locally. Any meal plan charges will still apply.

“Children on holiday”

Offers are subject to availability of triple or quad rooms. Infants are under the age of 2 years on the date of travel. Please note meals are not provided for infants. Infant charges are based on an infant sitting on an adults lap and additional charges will apply for infants requiring their own seat. Any charge for a baby cot in the room and food are paid by the guest direct to the hotel. Individual hotels will operate different policies and full details will be provided locally.

Under 18’s travelling without parents or with one parent

You are strongly advised to look into the legal requirements for children travelling alone or with one parent or with other duly authorized adult/s.

  • Minimum Stays

Minimum stays are required at certain hotels for certain periods. Where applicable these will be advised at time of booking.

  • Booking a Room for Early Arrival or Late Departure

Generally, hotel rooms will be available between approximately 14 00 and 15 00 hours and are to be vacated between 10 00 and 12 00 hours, irrespective of your arrival or departure times, unless we have stated otherwise. Should you wish your room to be ready prior to 14 00 hours on your day of arrival or available after 10 00 hours for an afternoon or evening departure, it is possible to reserve the room at the time of booking at a cost no greater than the extra night price quoted.

  • Promotions/ Offers/ Room Upgrade/ Honeymoon/ Anniversary Offers

When the offer of a room upgrade is mentioned, it is usually an upgrade to the next category of room (not suite) available within the hotel. We will of course do everything possible to arrange the provision of a double bed for honeymoon couples but it is not always possible to guarantee this and the provision of a double bed does not constitute a term of your contract with us. Anniversary offers apply for wedding anniversary while on holiday. Remember to advise us if it your honeymoon or Silver/Golden anniversary and to take a copy of your marriage certificate with you on holiday. In order to qualify, your stay and/or holiday must be started and completed within the date band specified, under the individual offers as stated.

For hotel sale discounts and bonus night offers, where there is a minimum stay requirement, the nights spent at the hotel must be consecutive. Offers shown are correct, but they may change at short notice, and not all offers can be combined. These offers are frequently updated so for the most up to date and available offers, please contact our sales team, or check on-line to check which offers apply to your holiday.

(e)          Extras

At certain hotels, we may offer a complimentary lunch, dinner, or hotel bar credit or Spa treatments as part of a promotion or bonus.

(f)           Bonus Night Offers

Where we specify bonus night offers this will not necessarily mean bonus nights are multiplied if you book a longer duration, therefore, please ensure you ask at the time of booking to clarify the number of bonus nights you will receive.

(g)          All Inclusive & Hotels For Couples

Some hotels specified ‘for couples’ cater for mixed sex couples only. We recommend that if you are a same sex couple, you thoroughly research your chosen hotel before you book, to ensure it is suitable.

Hotels often place restrictions on restaurants and meal arrangements. All Inclusive does not necessarily mean that unlimited food and beverages are available 24-hours a day and it is uncommon for minibars to be included in such packages. Individual hotels will operate different policies and full details will be provided locally.

(h)          Local Festivals – Public Holidays

The festivities may temporarily disrupt your holiday and some religious holidays may result in a reduction of facilities and entertainment. Others are somewhat folkloric but great fun to be a part of. We suggest that you take this information into consideration when selecting your departure date. Various events are organised throughout the season, and we therefore suggest that you thoroughly research your chosen area before booking.

(i)            Other Hotel Guests

Many hotels, especially in cities and major resorts, accommodate weddings, conventions and conferences. Also, at certain times of the year, some destinations have an influx of groups such as incentives, students, associations or clubs. The hotels we feature are shared with guests from many countries with different cultures and customs. We have no control over the acceptance of bookings at the hotels that we feature. We are therefore unable to accept responsibility for any inconvenience caused by such groups or their activities.

(j)            Holiday Seasons

Some hotels have quieter ‘off peak’ periods when you can take advantage of uncrowded beaches and a more personal attention from hotel staff at excellent prices. At this time, it may be necessary for hotels to scale down the size of some of their facilities, such as restaurants, to match demand. Similarly, during peak periods hotels experience full occupancy which may result in a livelier atmosphere and slower service in busier facilities.

(k)          Meals

  1. Meals, if included, are based on table d’hôte menus or buffet, unless specified otherwise in the text. Holidays which include main meals generally commence with dinner on the day of arrival at your hotel and terminate with breakfast (on half board) or lunch (on full board) on the day of departure. All Inclusive packages generally finish at check-out time on your day of departure between 10 00 hours and noon. After this time, payment for any additional meals must be made direct to the hotel. No refunds on meals not taken can be given.

ii)         Special diets of any kind (including vegetarian) can seldom be catered for adequately within the constraints of a table d’hôte menu and cannot be guaranteed. We would therefore strongly recommend that anyone with special requirements takes a holiday where no meals (or only breakfast) are included and simply buys the most acceptable dishes from the à la carte menu available locally.

iii)         Where breakfast is included, this will more commonly be full breakfasts, although continental breakfasts are provided at certain hotels. Please ask at the time of booking if this is important to you.

iv)        Supplements for optional meal plans offer you the opportunity of being able to budget for extra costs before you go. In some cases, you may find the cost of the meal cheaper locally, however we regret that it will not be possible to refund the difference either during or after your holiday.

v)         Pre-booked meals may be subject to dining in the main restaurant only and on occasion, it may be necessary to be seated with other hotel guests. If you have paid a half board supplement it may be possible in some hotels to ask for a credit from the table d’hôte dinner to be used against a meal in an à la carte restaurant. Please note that the value of the voucher will generally be considerably less than the half board supplement included in your holiday price.

vi)        Hotels often place restrictions on restaurants and meal arrangements. All Inclusive does not necessarily mean that unlimited food and beverages are available 24-hours a day and it is uncommon for minibars to be included in such packages. Individual hotels will operate different policies and full details will be provided locally.

(l)            Water/Electricity Supplies

In a tropical country like Mauritius, the water and electricity services struggle to keep up with the increased demands. Limited rainfall can put further pressure on their provision. Hotels do everything possible to maintain full services. However, occasional power cuts and/or water restrictions may be experienced.

(m)         Accommodation In the Tropics

In many hotels, especially beach resorts ‘insects’ in the rooms are almost inevitable. It should by no means be taken as a sign of dirtiness, as it is simply a fact of life in these destinations. Views from some hotel rooms may be partly obscured by palm trees and other vegetation that can grow very quickly in tropical climates.

(n)          Watersports & Other Activities

Many hotels offer Watersports and other sporting activities, in some cases, these may be free of charge. Please note that in the interest of your personal safety, the operators of these activities may require that you demonstrate your competence prior to commencement and reserve the right to refuse participation for any reason if they feel this may compromise your or another guest’s safety. Please note there may be certain age restrictions for children/adults to do certain activities so please ensure you enquire locally.

(o)          Behaviour

Most people go on holiday for rest and relaxation, so if in our reasonable opinion or in the opinion of any hotel manager, tour leader or other person in authority, your behaviour is causing or is likely to cause danger, upset or damage to property or is persistently affecting the enjoyment of others, we reserve the right to terminate your holiday. Should this happen, no refund or compensation would be paid and we will have no further responsibility for your holiday arrangements including return travel.

(p)          Personal Belongings and Lost Items

For security reasons valuables should be kept to a minimum and packed in your hand luggage along with your medicines, camera, film, electrical or battery-operated appliances, as well as basic essentials such as a change of clothing and toiletries. It can be easy to lose items but it is your responsibility to look after your property at all times and you must ensure you are adequately covered by comprehensive insurance. Hotel rooms are equipped with safes for that purpose. If you lose any personal items whilst on holiday, please obtain a written report from a local representative, or police, to help with any insurance claim upon your return.

(q)          Peak Season Supplements

During peak periods such as Christmas, New Year and Easter, you may find that supplements are added to the cost of your holiday. The supplements may be for certain holiday departures and/or accommodation on specific dates. They do not necessarily indicate that additional services such as Gala dinners will be provided. The cost of these supplements will be quoted to you at the time of booking.

  • Experiences, Excursions & Tours:
  • Experiences

Experiences which form part of your package:

We are pleased to be able to offer a list of various experiences and activities, which you can pre-book and pay for as part of your holiday package. Some, such as diving or other water sports activities, may require you to be in good physical and mental health. By booking with us you confirm that you and your party are in good health and have no medical history that would make it dangerous for you to participate. You must observe safety instructions at all times. Please note that they may be subject to minimum numbers and could be cancelled at short notice. In such circumstance, you will receive a full refund of monies paid for the excursion or activity in question.

For experiences which do not form part of your pre-paid package:

We also offer assistance and representative services at the hotel during your stay. You will be able to reserve a wide range of experiences and activities, for which you pay locally.

  • Tours – General health requirements

Most of our tours are not suitable if you have any disability or have reduced mobility (including being confined to a wheelchair). Therefore, in the interest of safety and comfort for all groups as a whole, you must be fit enough to participate or alternatively you must have an able body carer to assist you throughout the tour. Please note that some of the featured touring itineraries may involve early starts and long days, with substantial travel between featured sites and destinations. As vehicle and road standards may not be comparable to what you are generally used to, please keep this in mind when considering any personal health concerns, as well as your general comfort.  

  • Local Purchases

We cannot accept responsibility for any items you may purchase locally ie: jewellery/furniture/ clothing etc and the quality and value of such cannot be guaranteed. We recommend that you check whether or not any extra charges will be payable for import duty or freight and we are unable to assist with any costs you may incur in this respect.

  • Group Transfers

In our services we propose group transfers from airports/hotels and vice versa unless otherwise stated on the appropriate pages or your documentation. A group transfer is generally a shared transfer and the type of vehicle used will normally be dependent upon the size of the group, with stops being made en-route to drop off/pick up other clients. The duration of your transfer will be dependent upon the individual arrangements required. Alternatively, we offer the choice of upgrading to your own private transfer at the appropriate cost.

(e)          If We Change Your Holiday Accommodation

We do not control the day-to-day management of your accommodation, and in exceptional cases it is possible that we may be advised that the reserved accommodation has been overbooked or your accommodation may have to be changed for other reasons. If this happens before your departure or on arrival in resort, we will endeavour to provide accommodation of at least the same standard in the same resort area. If only accommodation of a lower standard is available, we will refund the difference between the accommodation booked and that available, and will pay up to Eur 50 per person for any inconvenience.

(f)           Weather

World weather is becoming more erratic and unpredictable and we cannot be held responsible for disruption to your holiday due to bad or unusual weather conditions.

(g)          Our Staff

We pride ourselves on the quality and friendly professionalism of our staff. In our search to continually improve our level of service, we are committed to on-going training, part of which involves the recording of phone calls.
