Booking Form & Conditions

Please do not be intimidated by our booking conditions - although there are 10 clauses, they are perfectly straightforward and they put your booking with us on a business-like basis and ensure that both you and we know what we are agreeing to and give protections to both parties. If you do not understand or disagree with any of them - please ask and we will happily explain.

BOOKING CONDITIONS
These conditions apply to all bookings made as from 1 January 2007 until further notice.
They are intended to be interpreted and determined according to the provisions and practice of English law.

The owners and the hirers agree to be bound by the following conditions of hire:
  1. Holiday Use only: The apartment is hired on the strict understanding that the accommodation is for holiday use only and that no right to remain in the accommodation beyond the period booked and paid for exists for the Hirer or anyone in the Hirer's party. The Hirer is responsible for ensuring that his or her party is fully aware of the conditions of hire.
  2. Deposits & Payment: When you book, a deposit of £100 is required. This is nonrefundable so we recommend you take out travel insurance with cancellation cover. The full rental due is payable not less than two months before the commencement of your holiday. The booking deposit then acts as a key/security deposit which is held until after your holiday and, provided the keys have been returned in working order and undamaged* and there has been no loss or damage at the apartment** during your stay, is then refunded in full within 28 days of the end of your holiday. If accommodation is booked two months or less before the start of the holiday, the full rental and booking/key/security deposit is payable at the time of booking. If the full amount due has not been paid two months before the start of the holiday the owners reserve the right to treat the booking as cancelled and to seek to relet the accommodation - in these circumstances no refund of monies paid will be made.
    * The keys to the perimeter gates and swimming pools area are electronic keys which can be damaged, if care is not taken, physically or electronically by immersion in water, especially sea water.
    ** We do not count the accidental breakage or damage of the odd cup or glass etc.
  3. Booking Form & Conditions: Provisional bookings will only be confirmed when the booking deposit (or payment + deposit) has been received accompanied by a completed and signed booking form and acceptance of these Conditions of Booking by the Hirer.
  4. Arrival & Departure Times: Apartments are normally available from 3.30 p.m. on the first day of the holiday and normal departure time is by 11.00 a.m. on the final day. Where the departure of previous visitors and/or the arrival of subsequent visitors permits, we will allow some flexibility in this - e.g. to allow clients whose flight does not depart until the evening to stay in occupation until a convenient departure time if the subsequent visitor is not arriving until the following day - providing this allows time for the cleaning and servicing of the accommodation.
  5. Maximum numbers: The Hirer agrees that the property will not be occupied by persons other than those listed on the booking form, except by written agreement. No more than two persons may stay in a one bedroom apartment or four in a two bedroom apartment. In the two bedroom apartment, the bedroom not required and paid for may be locked off and not accessible to hirers.
  6. Loss or Damage: The Hirer undertakes on behalf of his/her party to take good care of the accommodation and all facilities and the keys for the duration of the tenancy, to leave the accommodation clean and tidy as found and to act with all reasonable consideration for other guests and to reimburse us for any loss or damage at the apartment or to its furniture or contents during their stay. The Hirer is responsible for the care and insurance of his/her luggage and personal effects etc. We do not provide safety deposit boxes or other secure storage for valuable items, money etc. The Hirer undertakes to follow the security advice set out in the advice and information folder in the apartment to minimise the risk of loss of any of the Hirer's possessions or the furniture, equipment and other contents of the apartment.* We recommend all clients to take out travel insurance which includes cover for cancellation and delay, luggage, medical costs and public/civil liability.
    All apartments are fitted with rejas (security bars/gates) which are traditional in Spanish properties and if used as recommended provide a high level of security as well as enabling good ventilation in hot weather.
  7. Community Rules and Use of Facilities: Residencial Bahia de Vera is a naturist community and it is expected that Hirers and their parties will live a naturist lifestyle whilst there according to the normal standards of naturism. Naturism is permitted at all times, but there is no requirement to be naked except when using the swimming pools. Hirers and the members of their party agree to comply with the rules and norms of the community including the rules concerning conduct and behaviour as a naturist community (The Community's Rules are quite straightforward and are concerned with owners and visitors acting reasonably and in neighbourly ways - e.g. not disturbing neighbours with noise during siesta time or late at night - a copy of the Community Rules is in the Information Folder in each apartment). Subject to complying to the community's rules and norms, Hirers are entitled to use community facilities such as the indoor and outdoor swimming pools. The operation of the community facilities, such as the swimming pools is outside the control of the owners of the apartments who cannot guarantee their availability or operation at any particular period (However, it is most unusual for these facilities not to be operational). Users of the swimming pools should be aware that lifeguards are only employed by the Community in the high season (late July and August) and even then are only on duty at the hours posted outside the pools. Persons using the pools at other times do so entirely at their own risk.
  8. Naturist Etiquette: Hirers and their accompanying persons undertake to follow the normal naturist hygeine etiquette and to provide and use suitable towels to avoid soiling chairs, sofas and other furniture when naked. (If visitors are not sure what constitutes normal naturist etiquette, we can provide more information or guidance can be found on www.veraplaya.info).
  9. Smoking (New for 2007): Hirers agree not to smoke inside the apartment or to permit visitors to do so.
  10. Pets: Dogs or other pets will only be accepted by written agreement at the time of booking.
  11. Our obligations: We undertake to make accommodation available to the Hirer in a clean and tidy state and to maintain services and facilities in a proper workable condition. Where exceptionally a problem or fault occurs, we shall make every effort to keep delay or inconvenience to a minimum. If, for any reason, we are unable to comply with this contract, by providing the holiday home of the Hirer's choice or an equivalent or larger property (defined in terms of cost of rental), we are liable forthwith to refund to the Hirer the full amount of the monies paid and our total liability is limited to the refunding of such monies. If for any reason outside the control or responsibility of the Hirer - such as fire, storm or natural disaster - the apartment booked cannot be inhabited after the holiday has commenced we will use our best endeavours to find alternative accommodation as nearby as possible for the Hirers for the remainder of their holiday.
