TERMS AND CONDITIONS
CHECK-IN / CHECK OUT
Unless specified otherwise, Check-in time is 3pm and Check-Out time is 10am . We ask that you please respect the check-in check-out times as other parties, such as yourself, may be coming or going. This allows sufficient time for the maids to prepare the premises for your stay and the people arriving after you. Late check-outs may be requested at the time of check-in with your concierge. Late checkouts are not guaranteed, are subject to availability and are also subject to a $150 per hour late check-out fee after your pre-arranged check-out time.
EARLY CHECK IN & LATE CHECKOUT REQUESTS
Please submit your request for early check-ins or late-checkouts in writing. Early check-in requests will be confirmed within 48 hours of arrival. Late checkouts will be confirmed within 48 hours of departure and will be communicated through your concierge. Both the early check-in and late check-out requests are each subject to a fee only if the request is successful. We regret that due to other reservations, this may not always be possible. In the event your request is unable to be fulfilled, we kindly ask that you adhere to the check-in and check-out times.
RESERVATION/BOOKINGS, DEPOSITS AND FINAL PAYMENTS
The reservation/booking deposit is 50% of total rental fee in U.S. funds at time of request for reservation. Final payment is due 45 days prior to travel date. All reservation requests made 45 days or less prior to travel dates require full payment of rental fee to confirm the request. A refundable security deposit of Reservations will automatically be cancelled if funds are not received in our office within 3 business days of your request. We reserve the right to treat any confirmed booking as cancelled if schedules are not met. Extensions and/or modifications may be requested, but cannot be guaranteed as acceptable.
RE-SCHEDULING
Reservations may be re-scheduled for up to one year from the originally scheduled arrival date. Requests for re-scheduling must be made in writing and submitted to us no later than 60 days prior to arrival. Re-scheduling is subject to availability and re-scheduling reservations are subject to a $100 re-scheduling fee. Only one (1) re-scheduling per reservation is permitted. We regret that reservations made for the following holidays cannot be re-scheduled: Christmas & New Years Weeks, Thanksgiving, Presidents Day, Spring Break, and Easter Weeks.
CANCELLATION AND REFUNDS
If it is necessary for you to cancel a reservation we will attempt to re-rent the property for the entire period of the original booking. If the property is fully re-rented a refund will be made, less a cancellation charge of 10% of the original reservation. Partial re-rentals or rentals obtained at a lesser rate will be refunded in the amount of the re-rental less a 10% cancellation charge. Every effort will be made to re-rent the property but in those cases where we are unable to secure another rental, we regret that no refunds can be made. All cancellations must be communicated in writing no less than 30 days prior to your arrival dates. There are NO refunds whatsoever for the following Holiday Periods - Spring Break, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. Except as specifically provided herein, all of our commissions and fees, and any expenses that you or others incur in respect of the accommodations and services that we provide, are absolutely non-refundable.
ACCOMMODATIONS
In the event any property becomes unavailable due to circumstances beyond our control after a payment is received, Sun Cabo will have the option of moving the reservation to another property. If this property is unsatisfactory to the guest, Sun Cabo will refund any payments in full.
ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE PROTECTION
The Accidental Damage Protection you have purchased will cover most unintentional damages to the rental unit interior or exterior that may occur during your stay, provided they are disclosed to management prior to check-out. The policy will pay a maximum benefit of $5000 if you purchased the $199 coverage, $3000 if you purchased the $129 coverage OR $1500 if you purchased the $79 coverage. You may opt to increase your coverage to the highest level by notifying your agent prior to check in and tendering payment for the higher level of coverage. Please note: This is for ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE ONLY. Intentional misuse or damage to the property will not be covered. Damage from Children 10 & under is NOT covered. Linen, Towel and Mattress replacement are NOT covered. Any damages that exceed the coverage you purchased will be charged to the credit card on file. At it's sole discretion, Sun Cabo Vacations reserves the right to collect an additional damage deposit.
SPECIAL EVENTS
The presence of any person at the property who has not been listed on the approved guest list constitutes a "Special Event". All "Special Events" require specific "Additional Provisions" as an addendum to this contract. Events such as weddings, receptions, parties or gatherings with people other than the occupants of the property are some examples of Special Events and are strictly NOT allowed, unless specified otherwise within this contract under Additional Provisions. Additional charges, such as event fees, HOA fees, and damage deposits may be applicable for each and every event. Each event request will be assessed by Sun Cabo Vacations on a case-by-case basis. ONLY those guests who are listed on the approved guest list are permitted at the property. Unauthorized events are grounds for eviction with a forfeiture of any rental monies paid.
SMOKING
No smoking is allowed inside any property. Should you or one of the other guests wish to smoke, please accept the request of the owner and only do so outside the house.
INCIDENTAL CHARGES
All incidental charges will be paid upon departure by Guest to Sun Cabo Vacations by cash or credit card. Credit Cards accepted are Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. Any incidental charges paid by credit card are subject to a 3.50% processing fee. Incidental charges include but are not limited to excess propane, private chef services, grocery charges, spa services and telephone charges that appear on Owner's bill. Please note that it may take up to 60 days to receive telephone bills, and the credit card on file will be charged accordingly. Please provide a fax number if you would like a copy of the charges sent to you. Please Note: Turning the pool up high ( > 84 degrees ) and leaving the Jacuzzi on all night will use an excessive amount of propane and will most certainly incur additional expense that is your responsibility.
TRAVEL TIPS
Guests traveling out of the United States, Canada, and other countries are responsible for obtaining proper documents for traveling in Mexico or to the country in which you are traveling. (Check with your airline/transportation provider for required documents). It is always good to know something about the laws of the country in which you are traveling. Please be advised, the laws and procedures in other countries may be different than you are accustomed to.
NATURAL DISASTERS
In the event of a Natural Disaster (ie. Hurricane, Earthquake, Tidal Wave, or other Act of God) in the Los Cabos area which makes travel impossible or impractical within the Los Cabos region and Sun Cabo is unable to fulfill it's obligation to the renter because the property is damaged or destroyed, or if it is similarly impractical for the renter to make it to the property due to the San Jose del Cabo Airport (SJD) being closed, local roads washed out or no electricity; Sun Cabo agrees to reschedule the dates at no additional charge (subject to the same rate season). Natural disasters in any other area, other than Los Cabos Mexico, do not qualify for re-scheduling at no charge under this Natural Disaster clause. Unfortunately, we regret that no refunds can be made due to hurricanes, earthquakes, or other natural disasters. Hurricane season starts May 1 and runs through October 31. Sun Cabo Vacations strongly recommends that all travelers purchase travel insurance to protect their vacation investment.
