All identification documents must be provided no later than thirty (30) days prior to arrival, or sixty (60) days prior to arrival for Christmas and New Year reservations.

We Require a 50% to 100% Deposit to Confirm a Reservation
We require a 50% deposit to confirm a reservation, if more than 30 days (60 for Christmas and New Years) prior to the arrival date. We require full payment on reservations, if the booking is within 30 days (60 for Christmas and New Years) of arrival date, or if the stay is less than 7 nights.

Refundable Damage/Security Deposits are Required on All Bookings
All Cayman Villas properties require a refundable security/damage deposit, which is taken on the day of arrival, on a valid credit card, excluding American Express. The security/damage deposit will be held on file for the duration of the guests' stay. On the day of departure, the Property Manager and Housekeepers will do a thorough inspection of the property, and notify Cayman Villas of any damages, missing items or if any additional cleaning is required. If the property is left in exactly the same condition on departure, that it was found on arrival, then the security/damage deposit will be refunded to the guest's card on file, within 72 hours of departure. If damages are found, that have not been reported to the Property Manager during the guests' stay, then photos will be taken (where appropriate) along with the cost to repair or replace, and the guest will be notified via email. If the damages exceed the security/damage deposit being held on file, then Cayman Villas will charge the credit card on file for the additional amount required.

Holiday Periods Are Subject to Different Booking Policies
Holiday booking requirements: 7 night minimum for all properties. The exception to this policy is that full payment is required at the time of the booking and is non-refundable, within 60 days of arrival. A 7-night stay cannot include Christmas Day and New Years Day. If you wish to stay for both holidays - 25th December and 1st Jan - then we will require a 14-night minimum stay.
For the Easter holidays, we require a 7-night minimum stay (some properties will accept a 5-night booking). Our Cayman Villas Booking Form must be completed, including the client credit card billing address, and a signature is required on all pages of the Booking Agreement. Should you choose to book online, please note that your credit card will not be charged until we have reviewed the booking to ensure it meets all our terms and policies for the property and you have given your authorization to proceed with the booking of a 50% or 100% payment, and confirmed that you have read all our Terms and Policies.
For bookings over 7 nights, made more than 30 days before the arrival date (60 days for Christmas/NY), we require a 50% deposit, with the final payment due 30 days (60 days for Christmas/NY) prior to the arrival date.
Please Note: the credit card on file will automatically be charged for the final balance unless Cayman Villas is advised otherwise. Should you decide to change credit cards, after the final payment has been taken, then you will be subject to credit card fees and any expenses incurred by Cayman Villas.
For all bookings, less than 7 nights or made less than 30 days prior to the arrival date (60 days for Christmas/NY), 100% payment is due to confirm a booking. The Confirmation Form MUST be signed on all pages, by the client and returned to Cayman Villas.

Booking Changes Are Subject to a $250 Revision Fee
There will be a US $250 fee for every change or revision made to a confirmed booking: this is waived if the length of stay is extended. NO REVISIONS are permitted with less than 30 days' notice, unless specifically approved by Cayman Villas. All revisions are dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

All Properties Have High Speed Internet & Telephone Service but Cayman Villas is Not Able to Guarantee this
All properties that Cayman Villas represent have wireless high-speed Internet service or Wi-Fi and a Telephone or Cell Phone available for guests use. These properties use FLOW, DIGICEL, LOGIC or C3 as their local service provider here in the Cayman Islands. The Property Manager is responsible for making every effort to ensure that the Internet/Wi-Fi is functioning properly prior to your arrival. However Cayman Villas cannot make any guarantees that the Internet/Wi-Fi/Telephone will work ALL the time. If the Internet/Wi-Fi/Telephone is not working properly during your stay, then we, and your Property Manager, will make every effort to restore the connection but again, we cannot make any guarantees, as the service is provided by an outside entity/provider, so it is ultimately their responsibility. If there is a technical problem that cannot be solved, Cayman Villas will not be held responsible for any Internet service provider or any other technical problem. Furthermore, Cayman Villas is not obligated to refund you any money if there is any type of problem with the Internet/Telephone service. This is however dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

Cayman Villas is purely a marketing and booking agency for short term vacation rental properties
Cayman Villas operates strictly as a Marketing and Booking Agency for rental properties located in the Cayman Islands. Cayman Villas neither owns or manages individual properties. It is exclusively a Booking Agency with NO liability for any physical or financial injury sustained by guests during their stay. In the very unlikely event that a contracted villa is either unavailable or uninhabitable for a guest’s stay (for whatever reason), Cayman Villas will make every effort to obtain similar (or better) accommodations for the guests (subject to their approval). Cayman Villas maintains strong relationships with other on-island managers, homeowners, other villa-rental agents, and the Cayman Islands Tourism Department. However, should acceptable accommodations not be found, the limit of financial liability for Cayman Villas will be a prompt, full refund of all monies paid OR an alternate stay at the subject property (at the choice of the guest). Evacuation, or partial-stays, due to hurricanes will result in refunds of up to the total amount of the rental charge, prorated by number of nights stayed. Hurricane-related cancellation benefits are limited to hurricane “warnings” (not “watches”) that affect the Cayman Islands.

Disclaimer
Please note that no refunds are given for issues that are out of our control, such as the weather; beach erosion; changes made to the exterior landscaping or general exterior areas of a private villa or a condo complex. Cayman Villas does our best to ensure the interior and exterior photos of all the properties that we represent are as up to date as possible. If an owner informs Cayman Villas of upgrades/renovations/or major changes to the interior of their property, Cayman Villas encourages them to have new photos done for the website listing immediately. However, if Cayman Villas is not made aware of these changes, the property could be different than what is shown on the website. Any issue that is controlled by ‘mother nature’ is beyond our control and Cayman Villas cannot be held responsible or liable.

Hurricane policy

Refunds Available If a Hurricane Cuts Your Trip Short
If the Cayman Islands Government or Cayman Islands National Hurricane Committee issues a ‘Hurricane Warning’ and visiting guests on island are asked to return home or are evacuated, then Cayman Villas will refund any unused nights remaining on their reservation less a US $200.00 Administration Fee. Should a guest choose to remain on island, please note that they will do so at their own risk and Cayman Villas, the property owner, and the Property Manager will not be held liable.

Hurricane policy
Some Fees Apply For Trip Alteration Due to a Hurricane
If, due to an impending hurricane, the Cayman Islands Government or the Cayman Islands National Hurricane Committee closes the Owen Roberts International Airport, thus not allowing access to commercial airlines and travellers/tourists, Cayman Villas will either offer to change the dates of the reservation, with no penalty, or cancel the booking and refund the funds held on file for the reservation, less a US $100.00 Administration Fee, to guests that are affected.
If the Cayman Islands are affected by a hurricane, but the island is still operating as normal, and the villa in question is damaged, Cayman Villas will do our best to find alternative comparable accommodations. If we are unable to do so, we will cancel the booking and refund the client their deposit, less a US $100.00 Administration Fee. Otherwise the regular cancellation policy applies.
If the Cayman Islands are affected by a hurricane but the island is still operating as normal, and the villa booked is unaffected, should the guests choose not to come to the island, the regular cancellation policy will apply. All bookings are treated on a case by case basis.
If the Cayman Islands are affected by a hurricane, but the island is still operating as normal, and the villa booked is unaffected, should the guest wish to change their dates, Cayman Villas will do so for the regular US $250.00 revision fee.
*Cayman Villas has the right to assess each situation & reservation individually, due to the unpredictable nature of hurricane season. Cayman Villas, the Property Owner, and the Property Manager/Housekeeper, will not be held liable for any injury or loss to guests and their belongings during their stay, because of any weather conditions.
