Travel scenarios 2021
Of course, we hope it never happens again, but we need to be prepared: What happens if there are negative travel
advisories for the region where you are going on vacation? A frequently asked question. We want to inform you as
clearly as possible about the conditions that apply to your stay. Taking into account the recommendations of the
National Institute of Public Health and the Environment and the Department of State, we indicate below the
specific conditions that apply to each travel advisory code.
Scenario 1. Code green.
There are no security risks. The stay will take place as booked, with no restrictions. However, if there is a
reason for cancellation, our standard cancellation conditions will of course apply.
Scenario 2. code yellow.
In this case there is a low security risk. It is possible that there are restrictions e.g. for clubs and other
catering. In this case there are no consequences for your stay, but it may mean that there are fewer
opportunities for large groups to meet. If you wish to cancel in this case, it is your own decision and our
standard cancellation policy applies.
Scenario 3. Code orange.
In the case of Code Orange, it is recommended to travel to the area or country in question only with necessary
reasons. In this case, you must decide whether your stay can continue or must be canceled. In case of
cancellation, you are entitled to a refund of the amount paid in the form of a voucher valid for one year
(depending on the situation on the day of arrival).
Scenario 4. Code Red.
If shortly before departure it turns out that the stay cannot take place due to a closure of the area and / or a
negative travel recommendation (code red) of the for the region, the booking will be canceled by CostaCabana.
You are then entitled to a refund of the amount paid in the form of a voucher valid for 1 year (the situation on
the day of arrival is decisive).
Is your destination code red if you are already at your destination? If you decide to go home earlier, you will
receive a refund of the rental in the form of a voucher valid for 1 year.
Booking fees and the cost of any travel cancellation insurance taken out are of course not included in the
travel amount.
The above rules also apply to our guests who live in Europe. In this case the Dutch color codes and the
recommendations of the RIVM and the German Foreign Office are used. Should there be a general European color
code regulation, this will be used.
CostaCabana tries to keep the conditions as clear and short as possible. Please read the conditions carefully, because you (the hirer) as well as CostaCabana are bound to the rights and duties based on these conditions. You affirm and accept the following conditions through your reservation at CostaCabana.
CostaCabana acts as representative/middleman for the property owner and arranges only the conclusion of the hire contract between tenant and property owner. After the conclusion of the contract, the contract is always in effect between tenant and property owner. Between both parties there are rights and duties by means of that contract. In this contract CostaCabana is considered as representative of the property owner. The person, in whose name the booking is effected, is defined as tenant.
For every accommodation there is a maximum number of persons allowed. It's the tenant's duty to state the age of the group members as well as their combination before arrival. At violation of the limit of the permitted number of persons without explicit permission in written form by CostaCabana, the stay can be denied without reimbursement of costs.
Some accommodations can not be hired by youngsters. The minimum average age is mentioned at the accommodation's description. If it turns out that the tenants' party doesn't have the required average age for the accommodation (excluding children below 12 years), the stay can be denied without any reimbursement.
In many accommodations pets are prohibited or are only allowed for a fee. If you arrive with them without explicit permission in written form, the stay can be denied without any reimbursement.

As soon as CostaCabana accepted your reservation and the tenant has effected a partial payment of 35% of the full amount, the booking is secured. As long as the first payment is not made, the reservation of the accommodation will be unsecured, and open for booking by other parties. If the first payment is not received within 2 days after the booking, CostaCabana can cancel your reservation. The remaining amount has to be remitted at least 8 weeks before the start of the term of lease. Failure of timely payment will be seen as cancellation by the tenant, and will carry cancellation costs as set out in Cancellations. If between the day of the reservation and the start of the term of lease are less than 8 weeks, you have to pay the full amount immediately. Important: With the booking you receive a reservation number, mention this number with your payment. If you don't mention the reservation number, CostaCabana can't relate the payment to your booking.

You must send cancellations directly per email to CostaCabana and furthermore you have to send the cancellation in written form to CostaCabana.
