for this facility (more for currencies other than US$ or GB£). We request
a 20% deposit to secure your booking. The balance is not payable until 60
days before your arrival date. A refundable security deposit is also payable
at this time. We also require completion of a booking form, before we confirm
your booking.
Will you accept credit card details in lieu
of the refundable security deposit?
Yes, in some circumstances and at our discretion.
What do I do if something goes wrong in the
villa whilst I am there?
We have a fantastic local management company who are on call for the duration
of your stay. Their contact details are in the Villa Handbook and will be provided
to you in our information pack also.
Why stay at a Resort Community?
Part of the fun of going on holiday is meeting new friends. The beautiful clubhouse
at Terra Verde with its resort pool, spa, sauna, playground, Tikki Bar and
meeting room with refreshments, offer an excellent opportunity to form new
friendships with fellow vacationers. You get the benefits of your own private
villa, plus the hotel style facilities of the resort and 24 hour security.
This may mean we charge a little more than those people on residential communities
but you will find it's worth it!
Can we arrive or depart mid-week,
or do you only accept Saturday to Saturday bookings?
We are happy to accept bookings commencing on any day of the week.
Do you sell Theme Park Tickets?

court are a great source of entertainment for our children. Pool toys and swimming

....space, privacy, your own pool, cost, comfort, choice, plus you get to come

conditions will affect the water temperature.
