Reservation Process

You have filled in a Reservation Request on our website. To confirm your Reservation Request, you will be asked to make a Reservation Down Payment. Also we require some personal data, for further information see “Privacy statement”.

The Reservation Down Payment should be paid instantly when the reservation of an accommodation on the website has been completed. The reservation will not be converted into a booking until Enjoy Apartments has received the Reservation Down Payment amount and a completed personal data form. When both are received by Enjoy Apartments the information is sent to the accommodation owner for his/her final approval. Like this we avoid over-bookings. After final approval of the owner, we will send you an email with the Final Booking Confirmation.

By making a booking the prospective customer enters into a contract according to the Terms and Conditions and will be called client from here onwards.

By making a booking with Enjoy Apartments the client also accepts the Terms and Conditions of the owner, which are stated in the Short Stay Rental Agreement of the accommodation chosen. Upon arrival the accommodation manager will ask you to sign these terms and conditions. In case you wish to take notice of the Short Stay Rental Agreement prior to your arrival, please send us an email and we will provide it to you. Reservation Down Payment The amount of the Reservation Down Payment will be stated in the email that is sent to you or is shown online when reserving. It is usually around 15-30% of the total amount of your stay excluding all Additional Fees and the Refundable Security Deposit. The total amount of this Reservation Down Payment is to be paid by bank transfer or by credit card to ENJOY HOLIDAYS S.L.. The bank account number will be provided to you in an email. When choosing for a bank transfer, you must scan a copy of the bank slip and send it to the email address: bookarrobaenjoy-apartments.com. Note that we can only hold a reservation during 24 hours from the moment of your Reservation Request. Please make sure to send us the bank slip within this period since we may cancel your reservation and rent the accommodation to other clients.

Final Booking Confirmation

When Enjoy Apartments has received the copy of the bank slip as proof of your bank transfer, we will send you by e-mail our Final Booking Confirmation after the owner’s final approval. The booking is now considered to be confirmed and a valid contract is established.

The client has to verify that all the information in the Final Booking Confirmation email is correct and has to notify Enjoy Apartments within three days of any possible changes. Failure to notify us within this period will mean that the client accepts the reservation as stated. The correction of mistakes due to typing or calculation errors is reserved for Enjoy Apartments.

The client is responsible for all obligations which arise from the contract and will be responsible for all the persons included in his/her reservation. The Final Booking Confirmation states the Balance Due Upon Arrival. Also you will find the exact address of the accommodation attached, as well as the name and the phone number of the accommodation manager. Please contact him/her upon your arrival or during your stay in case of questions.

Alteration Requests

In case that the client wishes to change a booking more than three days after he/she has received the Final Booking Confirmation, Enjoy Apartments will charge a fee of €25 administration costs apart from any price increases.

Naturally we will do our very best to comply with your alteration requests. However, we cannot guarantee that we will succeed in it and Enjoy Apartments doesn’t accept any liability for any additional expense, loss or damages that may occur. A change of accommodation is not possible and not considered an alteration but a cancellation. A new booking should be made for this within 3 days of the original reservation so that the reservation down-payment can be re-used. After this period, the Reservation Down-Payment will be lost. All alterations must be made via email or fax. Alterations by phone are not accepted.

Balance Due Upon Arrival

The Balance Due Upon Arrival must be paid in cash directly to the accommodation manager on arrival. It has to be paid in the local currency. Except for destination Curacao where it is required to pay the outstanding balance in advance (4-6 weeks before arrival).

In case you would like to pay the Balance Due Upon Arrival by bank transfer, the costs will be 2,5% in addition to the balance due. The total sum must be received at least 7 days prior to arrival. The Refundable Security Deposit cannot be transferred by bank and always has to be paid in cash upon arrival.

In some cases the Balance Due payment can be done by credit card which incurs a 3% (Visa or MasterCard), or 4% (American Express) additional fee. For more information, please contact us.

In some cases the Balance Due Upon Arrival Payment can also be made via bank transfer provided that:

  • the corresponding net amount is received in our bank account 1 week prior to arrival (bank charges are paid for by the guest)
  • we have confirmed reception of such amount in writing

In some cases, mainly for longer stays, the owner has the right to charge the first month rental upfront, before the arrival date.

Refundable Security Deposit

The Refundable Security Deposit is paid as a guarantee to ensure no damage is done to the accommodation.

The Refundable Security Deposit of an accommodation will be approximately between €150 and €500 and depends on the accommodation chosen.

The Refundable Security Deposit has to be handed over to the accommodation manager on arrival. Except for destination Curacao where the Refundable Security Deposit is due in advance at the same time the outstanding balance has to be paid (4-6 weeks before arrival).

On the day of departure of the client the accommodation manager is obliged to refund the Security Deposit (this excludes demands made for possibly damage caused) only after checking the accommodation.
