If you are 30 days or less prior to your stay or for a holiday booking, your credit card will be charged for the total amount including all taxes and fees at the time the reservation is made. If you make special arrangements (Non Holiday) to only pay 1/2 the amount when you make the reservation, the 2nd half is due 15 days prior unless the reservation is coming up soon or in the case of a Holiday full payment is required at booking. Holiday reservations must be paid in full 30 days prior to arrival.
