Important Passport Note:

You will need a passport valid for at least 6 months from date of travel to be able to enter Honduras from the United States. For other countries, please check with your consulate, or look at the links posted under our page "Travel Planning".

 

1. How Much Do I Need to Put Down for Deposit?

To hold your reservation, a 50% deposit of base rate plus tax is required. The remaining 50% plus security deposit is due within 30 days of your check-in date.

2. How Do I Make a Deposit for the Unit I Want?

For the units of Life's a Beach, Paradise Cove Bungalow, Sea Breeze Beach House, Coral Bungalow, The Boat House, Lazy Daze and Pelican's Nest:

We can take your deposit via PayPal, a check sent to our USA address of a wire transfer to our USA bank.

For all other units (Las Brisis, Tropico Vista Tranquila, Taylor Beach House, Slumberland Villas, Paradise Cove Villa, Red Cliff Condominiums, Paradise Regained, Sandy Bay Beach House, The Round House, and Oyster Lagoon Houses):

The owners of the houses will be taking your payment directly, via PayPal to their account, or will accept US checks to a US address. Once we have a hold for you on these units, you will get detailed information from the owners about how to make payment. For these units, do NOT use our PayPal site. Also, for the other units, some of the security amounts, payment due times, and cancellation policies may vary from what is written below, as described on the page for those properties. If you have any questions, we will help answer those before you make payment.

3. When Do I Send My Deposit?

Please do NOT send money until you have been asked to do so; as some of the owners of our units require payment directly to them instead of using the PayPal feature on our site. Also, we will send you the actual amount to deposit.

4. When Will I Get My Security Deposit Back?

Security deposits will generally be returned approximately 1 week after checkout, via PayPal or via check sent by mail, as determined by the clients request, but it can be up to 2 weeks or so depending on if we have issues with the units, email issues, or other unforeseen aspects of Caribbean life. We will get it back to you though!

Please Note: This means security deposits are NOT returned on the day of checkout, but rather after we have been able to come in for cleaning and full inspection/inventory of the unit. Please plan for this accordingly.

5. I Don't Like To Use Credit Cards on the Internet, What Are My Options?

No problem! We can accept wire transfers to our USA bank account and will accept personal checks sent to our USA address AND can also accept your personal check through PayPal.

6. Are There Fees If I Use My Credit Card with PayPal?

a) If booking with a credit card issued within the United States:

Yes. PayPal charges 3% for each transaction. The fee should be added to the amount you remit through PayPal.

b) If booking with a credit card from Outside of the US:

Yes. PayPal charges 4% for each transaction outside of the US. The fee should be added to the amount you remit through PayPal.

c) Fees associated with Returning Security Deposits:

Normally there is no charge for us to send money via PayPal. In some cases we are able to return your security deposit as a partial refund of your most recent payment to us. If there is a credit for the fee we will pass it back to you.

7. I've Read All the Above, and You Have Told Me to Send Payment. Now What?
