According to Law 11/2021, of July 9, on measures for the prevention and fight against tax fraud, CASH PAYMENTS may not exceed the amount of 1,000 euros, and since rights must be exercised according to the requirements of good faith, banknotes must be used according to the amount to be paid.

Cash payments of over 50 euro coins will not be accepted.

Users are obliged to pay for the services contracted at the time of presenting the invoice or according to the agreed conditions.

If the client leaves the room and these food items or movable goods are not found in the room, it will be assumed they were consumed or taken by the client.

The invoice may be presented by the Hotel before the contracted stay ends if the services used during that time (accommodation, extras, or both) reach or exceed 600 euros.

The establishment may demand from its customers, at any time and upon presentation of the invoice and its vouchers, payment for services not related to accommodation, even if such payment was agreed in advance.

Early departure of the client before the end of the contracted stay will not exempt them from paying for the entire reserved days and contracted services, nor give them the right to a refund (except with medical justification).

If a client intends to leave the establishment without paying their invoice in full or partially, the Hotel may request assistance from the authorities.

Invoices will only be provided for accommodation and services contracted directly by users.

For any questions or issues related to the hotel’s operation, clients can contact our reception staff, who will assist them and, if necessary, connect them with the person in charge of resolving their question or issue, with the Hotel Director being ultimately responsible.

ARTICLE 4th PRIOR PAYMENT GUARANTEE

The Hotel may request a prior payment guarantee by credit card for the contracted services, according to applicable legislation covering the total reservation including taxes and tourist tax, as well as extras.

Such guarantee may also cover damages or losses occurring in the installations, furniture, and elements of the establishment due to negligence or misuse.

For this purpose, the Hotel may request the client’s credit card number upon arrival, or at the time of reservation, to be used if the invoice is unpaid.

This request may also be made even in the case of accommodation with a voucher or prepayment, to cover damages and losses.

The Hotel reserves the right to use the deposit for damages and/or claim the corresponding compensation for any damage, damage, or theft caused in the room or any other Hotel facility by the client. In the case of groups, the deposit is joint among all group members.

Additionally, the Hotel may, a few days before the client’s arrival, execute a charge or pre-authorization on the card provided, to verify its validity, for the amount of the first night booked.

If a credit card is not provided, the stay must be prepaid, and a security deposit of 500 euros, as well as direct payment for the requested extra services, will be required.

ARTICLE 5th OCCUPANCY PERIOD OF ACCOMMODATION UNITS

The Hotel rooms must be used according to the number of reserved nights.

The occupation of the accommodation unit starts at 4:00 p.m. on the first day of the contracted period and ends at 12:00 p.m. on the day marked as the departure date.

However, during peak occupancy periods where there are more check-ins and check-outs, it may not be possible to have all rooms available at that time due to availability and cleaning time constraints, so the availability of the accommodation unit for the user may be delayed by up to four hours. Additionally, the availability may be delayed in case of exceptional circumstances beyond the Hotel’s control, preventing the room from being ready at the scheduled time, according to the usual occupancy guidelines.

We kindly ask that the client communicate their arrival time and travel plans to allow the Hotel to prepare, and you should also consider that failure to arrive at the Hotel before 8:00 p.m. (local time of the hotel) on the day of arrival, without prior communication from the client, will result in the reservation being considered a “no-show” and automatically canceled in full, with a charge of 100% of the pending reservation fee. Although, the reservation will be maintained if the client notifies before the mentioned time.

In the case of groups of 20 or more people, the establishment may require check-out starting at 10 a.m.

For any changes, whether regarding occupation or extension of the indicated time, please consult the Reception. You must inform the Hotel staff immediately if you wish to extend your stay, always before 12:00 p.m. on the departure date.

The Hotel will accommodate your request if availability allows, informing the requesting client accordingly. If an agreement is reached, a different occupancy arrangement for the accommodation units may be agreed upon, which must be reflected in the admission document.

Extending the occupancy beyond the specified time without prior agreement will incur an additional day fee. Furthermore, the client may not extend the contracted stay without Hotel approval, as it may severely impact other reserved clients. In these cases, the Hotel staff may request the assistance of the authorities to remove clients who violate this rule.

If the client leaves the room on the check-out day before the established time, no refund will be given for the total amount of the stay. If the client reduces the number of guests reserved in full or in part, it is at the discretion of the Hotel to apply refunds. However, if the room is marked as non-refundable or similar, the full reservation amount will be charged.

If guests are absent for more than seventy-two hours without prior notice, the Hotel may suspend or terminate the accommodation contract, as appropriate, and proceed to collect the luggage. This collection process will be carried out according to Article 18 of this Regulation unless the actual value of the guest’s luggage ensures payment of the account. In this case, the accommodation may be terminated or suspended due to the guest’s absence for more than twenty-four hours.

In the event of death of a room occupant, the heirs or representatives will be responsible for paying the expenses incurred as a result, including, if necessary, redecoration, disinfection of the room, and replacement of linens and equipment.

ARTICLE 6th NUMBER OF PERSONS PER ACCOMMODATION UNIT and VISITS

For safety reasons, occupancy exceeding three persons per room is not allowed, or the maximum possible number according to the room format and booking type.

The Hotel reserves the exclusive power to apply or not the penalties provided for in this Regulation.
