Travel Protection Plus - $89.99/person (covering air + only OR Hotel Only)

Cancellation Fees:
-Rooms can be cancelled up until 4 days prior to the arrival date for a $50 per person penalty with Vacay Vibes + a $100 per person penalty charged by the supplier. If cancelling the entire room + airfare within 3 days of the travel date, there will be a penalty equal to the full reservation amount.
-The cancelation of airfare will result in a future travel credit to be used through Funjet Vacations.
-If cancelling a room without airfare, you can cancel up until 4 days prior to the arrival date for a $50 per person penalty with Vacay Vibes. If cancelling within 3 days of your travel date there will be a penalty from the resort equal to a one nights stay of your reservation.
-If an individual is cancelling themselves out of a room, there will be a $50 penalty for that person. The room will then have to be changed to the accurate amount of people remaining in the room and will have to be ‘re-shopped’ at current rates, which can increase the price for those people in the room.
Payment Schedule:
Deposit for Flight + Hotel = $656.66 per person
Deposit for Hotel Only = $50 per person
Final Payment - June 28th, 2024
prices are subject to change until all deposits from roommates are made. If adding insurance, the cost will be due at time of making your deposit.
*You are welcome to make payments at any time between the deposit date and the final payment date.
*a separate $25 per person “planning fee” will be charged at the time of making your deposit payment. This is already included in the above deposit amount and total room price mentioned above.
*Keep in mind that if you cancel yourself from the trip after it has been booked, it can still potentially effect the other people in the reservation, even if you have travel insurance. When the number of people in a reservation is changed, the process is to cancel the existing reservation and rebook a new one at current pricing with the proper amount of guests. This could result in an increase in price.
If you would like to protect your deposit, I would highly suggest adding travel insurance. Penalty fees may apply if you cancel or change. Please click this link to fully understand potential penalties/fees.
