Each two-bedroom property comes with one bathroom only.
If COVID-19 travel restrictions lead to border closures, how does that impact the 60-day cancellation policy?

In cases of state border closures or government-enforced lockdowns, a monetary credit option will be available rather than the standard cancellation policy.
Are recreational activities included for all guests, regardless of how the accommodation was booked?

Is there complimentary Wi-Fi available at the resort? Additionally, are there any payment options that can be made upon arrival?
30 August 2024
Complimentary Wi-Fi is available in the Cuisine Restaurant, but full payment is required prior to arrival, generally 60 days ahead, with no pay-at-property options available.
What is the pet policy at the resort? Are pets allowed?
21 September 2024
Due to the resort's proximity to the National Park, pets are not allowed on the property.
What are the cancellation fees after the standard free cancellation period, especially regarding any potential COVID-19 travel restrictions?
3 October 2024
Cancellation fees apply after the free cancellation period, but contacting the resort directly can provide options for any credits if travel is restricted.
Is it possible to book a Deluxe Studio for a family of four? The children are quite young.
19 October 2024
The Deluxe Studios can accommodate a maximum of 2 guests, including children, so a larger 2-bedroom property will be necessary for your family.
