RESERVATION AND CANCELLATION POLICY,
ESTABLISHING CREDIT WITH US: Typically
to secure a reservation we request a reservation
deposit of about 50
percent. Balance would be due upon arrival in cash or with a credit
card - Visa, Master Card or American Express. The reservation deposit
is 50%
refundable up to 30 days prior to reservations. If you cancel less than
30 days prior to arrival date, there is no refund. For certain dates,
total prepayment might be
required.
Deposit is applied to last days of reservation and the deposit or any
rental paid is forfeited in case
of
early departure. The reservation of a no-show is automatically
cancelled and the reservation deposit or any payment made in advance is
forfeited. Guests are expected to establish credit with Tamarindo
Estates
before registration by presenting a valid Visa, Master Card, or
American
Express card. A weekly rental consists of seven (7) nights. We reserve
the
right to establish surcharges to the published rates for certain dates
of
the year, for which guests would be notified at the time of
reservation.
Tropical storm or hurricane: We will allow a change of dates or issue a
refund, if requested, when a tropical storm warning or a hurricane
warning is issued for our coastal area for the dates of the reservation.
If you are concerned about having to
make a trip
cancellation, you could consider
buying travel
insurance.
MINIMUM STAY: At least 2 nights. The
required
minimum stay is increased for certain dates of the year. Normally
guests may start their weekly stay any day of the week.
CHECKING
YOU IN:
Check-in time: 3:00 PM (Not possible after 6:30 PM)
Check-out time: 11:00 AM
We could allow an early check-in
(however, not before 10:30AM) if your assigned cottage was not rented
out the night before. If other guests stayed the night before, we could
do the check-in paperwork after 10:30AM, but you would have wait until
the room is cleaned before you can go in.
We strongly recommend afternoon arrivals and will do check-ins until
6:30PM. However, we are not able to check in guests who take the
passenger ferry departing Fajardo at 7:00PM because we do not have
personnel for check ins arriving that late.
We will check you in at our
Tamarindo Estates office. We are a 5 minute drive from the airport, and
a couple of more minutes from the ferry dock. If you have also reserved
a rental vehicle, once you get into Culebra the wise thing is to first
pick up the rental vehicle in town and drive it yourself with your
family to Tamarindo Estates.
If you opt not to rent a car, the
taxi fare from town to the resort is about $3-5 per person. If there is
no taxi near the dock or airport, call the taxi numbers listed below
until you get a live response. It can be useful to know that the road
as you exit the airport is the main taxi route between town and the
popular public beach Flamenco. TAXI SERVICES: Adriano
Fontanez:
590-1375; Kiko: 787-514-0453; Kiko (Sammy): 787-361-7453;

The easiest way to get to Culebra
from Puerto Rico is by airplane, a 30 minute flight from San Juan,
P.R., or a 12 minute flight from Fajardo, P.R.
If you are coming to Culebra on the passenger ferry boat on a long
holiday weekend or during the months of June, July, or August, we would
recommend that you buy the passenger tickets ahead of time. For the
boat tickets you should call the Maritime Authority. Contact

are expected to moderate their own children so that other guests are
not unduly upset. Parents should take proper measures regarding
bed-wetting, and will be charged for damages.

limit
the number of people allowed in each rental cottage. Additional persons
are
not allowed, except those authorized ahead of time by the management.
