Offerings, Features, or Content

How It Works

Reservations require a three-night deposit per week to guarantee the reservation, with the balance due on arrival. For reservations of three nights or less, full payment is required to guarantee confirmation. Cancellations received more than 14 days prior to arrival date receive a full refund on their deposit. For bookings during the period 20 December – 8 January, deposits are refundable if cancelled more than 45 days prior to arrival. Refunds are not offered for no-shows or early checkouts. The hurricane policy and procedures take effect if a hurricane watch, 48 hours in advance of a possible hurricane, is issued for the island. Beach View strongly advocates the purchase of Travel Insurance to minimize potential financial loss because the company is under no legal obligation to offer compensation related to any storm event. The hurricane policy is offered as a gesture of goodwill and without prejudice and applies to the hotel portion of the stay only. For on-property guests who choose early departure during a hurricane watch, a hotel credit valid for travel June 15 – November 30 will be issued for the number of interrupted nights, and no cash refunds will be provided. For on-property guests forced to extend their stay due to storm-related flight delays, the hotel will honour the original nightly rate for each additional night, payable in full upon departure. Arriving guests who are unable to arrive due to flight cancellation, hotel closure or flight delays related to the storm or hurricane may choose to arrive within 30 days after the storm has passed. Guests choosing to arrive within 30 days may stay for the same number of nights without an increase in the nightly rate, in which case the hotel will make every effort to confirm the requested dates and original room category. Guests choosing to arrive within 30 days may stay for fewer nights, in which case the hotel will issue a hotel credit valid for travel June 15 – November 30 for the number of remaining nights, subject to availability at the hotel. Arriving guests may choose to postpone arrival for more than 30 days after the storm has passed, and the hotel will apply full credit for the hotel portion of the holiday only, for travel June 15 – November 30. For postponements of more than 30 days, the hotel will guarantee the original rate and category if available for travel June 15 – November 30. The hotel may, at its sole discretion, require that all arriving guests reschedule their visit until after the storm has passed. Should such notification be issued, a full hotel-only credit will be authorised for travel June 15 through November 30. Arriving guests who elect to arrive despite the hotel’s announcement do so with the implicit understanding that no compensation will be forthcoming for disruption of services and/or inclusions that may occur as a result of the storm.
