TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Hacienda Del Sol is pleased to provide you, the Guest, retreats, services, and accommodations per the terms and conditions set out below.

Any form of payment indicates that you, the Guest, have read, acknowledged, and agreed to these Terms & Conditions, as well as read our ‘FAQ’ section.

PAYMENT TERMS & CONDITIONS 

All prices listed on our website and in all documents are in US dollars. We accept USD payments in the form of PayPal, Stripe, and Credit Card via a secure link or over the phone. We do not accept direct deposits.

PAYMENT SCHEDULE – DEPOSIT & FINAL BALANCE 

You will provide us with a deposit of 50% of the final booking price as listed on the booking confirmation contract from Hacienda Del Sol in order to secure a trip reservation with Hacienda Del Sol immediately upon making the Trip Reservation. The balance of the Final Booking Price is due 30  days before the anticipated start date as listed on the Booking Confirmation.

If you are booking your trip reservation less than 30 days from the start date of your stay with us, payment is due in full.

RESERVATION CANCELLATION 

By making a Trip Reservation, you accept and agree to the cancellation and no-show policy of Hacienda Del Sol.

All payments are 100% non-refundable and non-transferable, regardless of the date the reservation was made. Due to the limited size of our retreat center and the nature of our retreat programs, we are unable to offer any refunds or credit notes whatsoever.

You must secure your own travel insurance.

RETREAT INCLUSIONS

Please be sure to read the entirety of the service inclusions in your retreat before booking, as  once you sign your booking contract, if you choose not to receive any part of the inclusions listed, no part of the price of the rate is reduced, transferable, or refundable, unless otherwise specified in the retreat description.

TRAVEL INSURANCE

If you have to cancel for any reason including but not limited to COVID, personal emergency, including illness, family emergency, or flight cancelation; or, if you get sick on site, have a medical emergency, have an accident of any kind, have a death in the family, need to leave early for any personal reason, or are not able to attend your retreat for any reason apart from the ‘Force Majeure’ clause below, Hacienda del Sol is not able to offer any refunds or credits of any kind.

For this reason, you must secure travel insurance to cover your possible cancellation or early departure due to any and all unforeseen circumstances or events.

We highly recommend ‘cancel for any reason’ travel insurance. Due to the size of the Wellness Center, and the nature of the all inclusive programs, Hacienda del Sol cannot and will not be held responsible for refunding you.

Any of the travel insurance companies listed here should offer the coverage referenced above: https://www.forbes.com/advisor/travel-insurance/best-travel-insurance/. Always do your research.

Note that many Travel Insurance companies require that your travel insurance is purchased within 15 days of Initial Trip Payment. 

FORCE MAJEURE 

Hacienda del Sol shall not be liable for delays in performance of any obligation under this Trip Reservation that is caused by an act or occurrence beyond our control including but not limited to acts of God, global pandemics or regional epidemics, war, civil disturbance, or extreme local weather conditions (a “Force Majeure Event”) that prevents our ability to perform our contractual obligations. If a force majeure event occurs, the performance of our contractual obligations shall be excused for the period of delay resulting from the force majeure event.

If you are affected by a Force Majeure Event and our performance of obligations under this Trip Reservation is delayed, Hacienda Del Sol will use commercially reasonable efforts to reschedule your trip in a timely fashion and offer you a credit voucher to apply toward your future trip that will cover any difference between what your travel insurance covers and the cost you have paid for your stay.

The cost of your future stay may be subject to payment differentials depending on our standard rates at the time of your reschedule.

We require you to submit your insurance policy to us before providing the credit voucher toward your future stay.
