| How
to book your Las Colinas Apartment |
| |
| Making
a Booking: |
1.
Click on the availability calendar of the apartment you wish to book
and select the dates you require, then click on the “make a
booking request” button.
2. Complete the booking request form and click on the “ send
completed enquiry” button.
3. Your booking request will be emailed to the owner, who will contact
you to confirm your booking |
| Processing
a Booking: |
| Each
property owner will have their own way of processing a booking but,
as a guideline, you should expect to pay a deposit to secure the booking
of between 10% - 50% of the total rental. This is normally paid either
by cheque or by bank transfer and the owner should confirm the booking
and receipt of your payment by letter or by e-mail. The balance is
normally paid around 8 weeks before the start of the holiday. Often
a breakage deposit is required with the balance, and this is refundable
at the end of the holiday less the cost of any breakages. Please check
the cancellation terms with the owner at the time of booking - deposits
are often non-refundable and they may have a sliding scale of charges
for last minute cancellations after the balance has been paid. We
recommend that you ask for any terms and conditions in writing. |
| Contacting
the Owner: |
|
You will find the contact details (telephone, fax, e-mail link) of
the owner, or in some cases his agent or local representative, at
the bottom of each advertisement. If e-mailing, please give your name,
e-mail address, telephone number plus the dates that you are interested
in. Remember that these are private owners and that they may possibly
be away from their e-mail for a few days. Most will respond immediately
but if you do not get a response within a couple of days, we would
recommend that you telephone them. |
| Arriving
at the Property: |
| Make
sure that you have the address and directions to the property. These
are normally sent to you on payment of the balance. Some owners will
send you a key in advance, some may live on site and be there to welcome
you, whilst others may have a local representative or neighbour who
will meet you (in this case please make sure that you have the telephone
number of the owner or their representative so that you can call to
let them know if your arrival time is delayed). |
| Any
Problems: |
| All
owners should leave instructions at the property for contacting either
themselves or their local representative. If you find that you have
a problem or an item of equipment breaks down, please call them straight
away. Either they or their representative will have the local knowledge
to put things right. It is essential to air any difficulties on the
spot as this gives the owner the chance to ensure your holiday is
not spoilt. Please do not save up complaints until after you return
home. |
