Payments

Unless otherwise stated, all bookings must be pre-paid by credit/debit card only, so full payment will be deducted from the credit/debit card at the booking stage, and this will secure the booking. Creative Destinations Europe will not accept payment by check, money order, or cash unless in certain circumstances where the client is purchasing a customized FIT or group booking.  Payment by credit/debit cards can be made by major cards, as listed on the company's website.

You and the other members of the party are responsible for payment of any charges made for use of any ancilliary services provided by hotels, which are not covered by the quoted Creative Destinations Europe room rate. Such services could include facilities such as telephone, laundry service, security safe, room service, newspaper, plus damages and other fees levied by the accommodation provider for the use of amenities. The client is likely to be asked for a deposit upon arrival at the accommodation, which will normally be applied to a credit card in order to cover supplementary charges that may be incurred during your stay.

Site Use

This site is intended to assist you in the booking of hotel rooms, sightseeing tours and as a general source of information to the traveler.

Although Creative Destinations Europe make every effort to ensure that our published descriptions are correct, it does not own or operate the hotels or suppliers and cannot prevent or control modifications regarding hotels. Creative Destinations Europe therefore reserve the right to change the description of a hotel.

Cancellations and Amendments – Hotel Bookings

Should you wish to cancel or amend reservations made with Creative Destinations Europe, this can be done by calling our  office on 407- 265 -8808 and by sending an e mail to our office.  Cancellations and amendments must be made with Creative Destinations Europe and not with the hotel as the contract that has been entered into is between Creative Destinations Europe and the customer. Cancellations sent to the hotel are not recognized by Creative Destinations Europe and no monies will be refunded.

There is a fee equivalent to the cost of one night's stay for all hotel bookings cancelled up to 14 days prior to the check-in date.  All bookings cancelled within 14 days prior to the check-in date will incur a 100% charge.  Failure to show for a reservation will result in a 100% charge.  On no account will any monies be refunded.   If you require to change the arrival date or the length of stay of your hotel reservation this will be accepted if the alternative date is available.   A complete hotel change is only permitted with a $50.00 per reservation change fee. 

Cancellations and amendment fees for customized FITs and Group bookings will be proportionate to the size and complexity of the request made and will thus be subject to different rules than simple hotel and sightseeing arrangements. These rules should be fully explained to the client before the booking process has begun and the size of the booking has been assessed.  

Any cancellations, changes or modifications for hotel bookings falling within special event periods will incur 100% charge. The only exceptions to this will be where additional rooms/beds/cots/nights are added to the existing confirmed rooms or nights. When additional rooms/beds/cots/nights are added to existing confirmations, no amendment charges will apply.

Cancellations notified directly to the hotel or other accommodation will not be effective. Requests for cancellations and amendments must be made directly through Creative Destinations Europe.

All amendments are subject to availability. There are no additional charges for amendments. If the total of the amendment is cheaper than the cost of the initial booking, then a refund in the difference in cost will be given. However, this will not apply if a booking is amended within 7 days prior to check-in date, in which case no refund will be rewarded.

All transfers booked with us are non refundable, once  paid for.  If you find it necessary to change the flight details for your booking, this is permitted,  and information should be sent to our office by e mail so we can amend your transfer.

All sightseeing tours reserved on our site are non refundable once booked.

All customized vacations are non refundable at the time of payment.   Penalties may also apply for earlier cancellations, depending on the arrangements made and contracts made by us on your behalf with our suppliers in Europe.

Group bookings made with us are non refundable at time of payment.  

Amendments and cancellation by the company

It is unlikely that we will have to make any changes to your travel arrangements, but occasionally we have to make changes as a result of events that fall outside of our control, and we reserve the right to do so at any time.  Most of these changes will be minor, and Creative Destinations Europe will attempt to notify you of any changes before your departure.  Creative Destinations Europe also reserve the right in any circumstances to cancel your travel arrangements.  If we are unable to provide the booked travel arrangements, you can either have a refund of all monies paid or accept an offer of alternative travel arrangements of comparable standard, if available. Should you choose a refund, this must be claimed outside of 7 days prior to check-in date of the booking.

Hotel dispute

In the unlikely event that the hotelier cannot provide the booked accommodation, the client understands that it is the hotelier's responsibility to find an alternative of at least a similar standard, and provide appropriate transportation to this alternative hotel.  Creative Destinations Europe shall have no liability in respect of any other costs, losses or damages existing out of or in connection with relocation of accommodation since such relocation is outside Creative Destinations Europe's control.

Your accommodation

All successful confirmations will be issued a reference number, which is shown on the hotel voucher provided by Creative Destinations Europe. This hotel voucher shows the details of the booking made with the hotel.  It is important that you check that the hotel details and itinerary are correct to eliminate all possibility of misunderstanding. You should present this voucher to the hotel.   If you do not receive a confirmation via e-mail after making the booking, then please contact us directly.  Should you experience any problems using our website, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.

Should you decide to alter arrangements when you arrive at your hotel, the hotel will try to accommodate such arrangements but we cannot be held responsible should they fail to do so. 

Building work

From time to time, renovation or refurbishment and its associated noise are unavoidable at a hotel. Often we do receive advance notice of when it will begin, in which case you would be informed prior to making your reservation.   However, if you have not been informed, and we consider the work to have had a significant affect on your stay, we will then review the option of a partial or full refund.

Rates

All Creative Destination Europe's rates are inclusive of taxes,* credit/debit card charges, and unless otherwise stated also include breakfast.  We offer services in Europe where currency fluctuations occur frequently and in an unexpected fashion. We therefore reserve the right to revise our rates at any time without notice.  Our rates have been calculated in accordance with exchange rates provided by our currency broker, and are updated periodically. Once we have entered into a contract with a client, the rates are guaranteed and no further adjustments will be made.  

* Some cities now charge a "Local City Tax" This tax is collected locally by the hotel.   

Additional requests

If you have any additional requests, these will be passed on to the relevant supplier. We will endeavour to meet special requirements but cannot guarantee availability.

Complaints

Any complaint about the online booking or customer service or travel arrangements must be notified by e-mail or in writing to Creative Destinations Europe, 8297 Championsgate Boulevard # 464, Championsgate, FL 33896

If a problem occurs, whilst you are on vacation you must inform Creative Destinations Europe immediately by phone (USA 407 265 8808 or email  patrick@creativedestinationseurope.com so that the matter can be resolved.  In the event that the complaint is not resolved to your satisfaction at the time, you must e-mail or write to CDE within ten days of check-out date, quoting your original booking reference number and giving all relevant information.  Failure to take these steps will hinder the company's ability to resolve the matter and/or investigate fully and in consequence, any right to compensation you may have will be extinguished or, at the very least, substantially reduced.  

Behavior

It is your responsibility to ensure that you and the members of your party do not behave in a way which causes offence or danger to others or that risks damage to property belonging to others.  In such circumstances all suppliers (e.g. hotel managers) and the company have the right to terminate arrangements made on your behalf, in which case the company's responsibility to you ceases immediately and there can be no refunds, no payment or compensation and no reimbursement of any cost or expenses you may incur as a result.  Further, you will be liable to reimburse Creative Destinations Europe plus hotel damages for any expense whatsoever as a result of your behavior.
