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 of the landlord, and mediates in the conclusion of tenancy agreements between landlords and tenants. The concluded tenancy agreement is always a contract between landlord and tenant. Only between those parties arise rights and obligations under the lease. In these conditions the landlord will be described as "CostaCabana" and its local representative as "representative", and the person in whose name the booking is made 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.
Several accommodations are not available for youth groups. If upon arrival it turns out that there is a group of people with an average age lower than that indicated for the accommodation in question, access will be denied without the possibility of any refund.
In many accommodations pets are not allowed, or only with additional payment. If you come with a pet without explicit, written permission in advance, access will be denied without the possibility of any refund. It goes without saying that pets are not allowed in swimming pools and on beds, sofas and chairs. An EU passport for your pet is required. For this we recommend that you contact your veterinarian.
CostaCabana reserves the right to deny the stay or to cancel the reservation.
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 total amount in full.
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.
It is not possible to change accommodation or period after acceptance of the reservation. Changes in occupancy or additional services may be possible, but are subject to availability. These changes can carry a change fee of € 35.
If a contract is cancelled, in addition to the booking fee owed and the cost of any cancellation insurance
possible cancellation insurance, the following cancellation charges shall be levied:
In case of cancellation not earlier than 6 weeks before the planned date of arrival the full amount is due. At
cancellation earlier than 6 weeks but not earlier than 8 weeks before the planned date of arrival, 75% of the of
the full sum is due. In all other cases, 50% of the full sum is due.
The day of the reception of the written confirmation is considered as the day of the cancellation.
If there appear any circumstances causing a cancellation of the already reserved holiday accommodation,
the tenant will be informed about that as soon as possible, and if possible CostaCabana will offer an
alternative.
If this alternative is not accepted or if CostaCabana can't offer any alternative, the already paid
amount will be reimbursed. The tenant has no more rights than the reimbursement of the already payed amount.
CostaCabana makes use of a damage fund/deposit waiver, most of the (small) damages can be payed to the
property owner with the fund. The waiver fee is non-refundable.
In case of damages above € 500,- CostaCabana, representative and/or the property owner will hold you liable
and will persue reimbursement from you or your insurance.

If you did not: At arrival you have to pay a security deposit in cash to our local representative.

Hereof the charges for missing or damaged objects in the accommodation will be taken.
All damages and missing objects, which are not reported to CostaCabana within 24 hours after arrival,
will be considered as damages caused by the tenant.
Groups of friends and youngsters (average age between 18 and 28) pay a security deposit as mentioned. This deposit is your excess liability. Damages occurred will be deducted first from your security deposit. For damages above the paid security deposit, but below € 500,- the damage fund will be used. All damages above the combined total will be pursued from you or your insurance. Other tenants pay - if mentioned - the security deposit as stated on the booking page on the web site.
