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.
