Home / Terms and conditions

These terms and conditions apply to every booking of the apartment Papaya Resort 7c, Bisiña di Papaya, Grote Berg, Curaçao. The lessor is Sherandel Rosa. By making a booking, you agree to these terms and conditions.

1. Booking

Following your booking request, you will receive a confirmation from us with a payment request. Your booking is definitive once we have received the down payment and the security deposit.

The primary guest must be at least 18 years of age and must personally stay in the apartment. The apartment accommodates a maximum of 5 persons, including children and infants.

2. Price and payment

  • Down payment: 30% of the rental amount, payable within 7 days of confirmation.
  • Security deposit: € 200, payable together with the down payment.
  • Remaining balance: no later than 4 weeks prior to arrival.
  • Are you booking within 4 weeks of arrival? In that case, you pay the full amount and the security deposit immediately.

The rental price includes final cleaning (€ 75), bed linen, towels, Wi-Fi, and water. Electricity is not included. The apartment operates on prepaid electricity (Pagatinu). You are responsible for paying for the electricity you consume. Upon departure, the meter reading must match the reading upon arrival.

Optional extras such as airport transfers, rental car, interim cleaning, and late check-out are charged separately. The rates are listed on our website.

If payment is not made on time, we will send you a reminder. If payment is still not received thereafter, we reserve the right to cancel the booking. In that case, the cancellation fees set forth in Section 3 will apply.

3. Cancellation by you

Cancellations must be made in writing via email to info@papaya-resort.nl. The date on which we receive your email shall be decisive.

  • More than 60 days prior to arrival: you will receive a full refund, minus a € 50 administration fee.
  • 60 to 28 days prior to arrival: we retain the down payment (30% of the rental amount). The remaining balance will be refunded to you.
  • Less than 28 days prior to arrival or in the event of a no-show: you are liable for the full rental amount.

In the event of cancellation, the security deposit is always refunded in full. Should you arrive later or depart earlier than booked, no refund will be provided for those nights.

We strongly advise you to purchase cancellation and travel insurance.

If we succeed in re-letting the cancelled period, we will refund you the amount of the new booking, up to the maximum amount you paid, minus the administration fee.

4. Cancellation by us

In unforeseen circumstances, we may be unable to rent out the apartment, for instance due to severe damage or force majeure. Should this occur, we will inform you as soon as possible. You will then receive a full refund of all amounts paid. Other damages or expenses, such as airline tickets, will not be reimbursed.
