The remaining balance is due one calendar month before scheduled arrival, or two calendar months before scheduled arrival for Holiday period reservations. Once paid, the remaining balance is non-refundable and non-transferable and the reservation is fixed and final. However, at our digression and if we are advised early enough to re-book the accommodations during all or part of the original stay, a partial transfer may be applied to a new stay. Should, for whatever reason, the remaining balance not be paid on or before the due date indicated in the confirmation we forward, the reservation will be considered to be cancelled by the reserving party and no refund of the deposit will be issued.

Barefoot Lagoon highly recommends that you purchase trip cancellation service if you are traveling during the official hurricane season from June 1 to November 30. The insurance will cover you in case of a natural disaster (please verify all terms and conditions with the insurance company). If there is a Tropical Storm Warning, a Hurricane Warning issued for Grand Cayman, or a Hurricane that damages Barefoot Lagoon, Barefoot Lagoon may close before, or during your scheduled reservation and you may be asked not to come or be asked to leave early. If you do not purchase insurance coverage, and are unable to travel for whatever reason, are unable to stay in Barefoot Lagoon, or are asked not to come or leave early, unable to travel due to the closing of the Grand Cayman Airport, Barefoot Lagoon will hold on account for one year, your deposit or complete payment for your reservations or the unused balance of your reservation which may be applied toward the payment for any new reservation beginning within one year of the originally scheduled arrival date. We will not hold your balance on account if the hurricane is not a threat to Grand Cayman and you are unable to travel because of cancelled flights. If you have to extend your stay because you can't leave Grand Cayman because of a Tropical Storm Warning, Hurricane Warning or Hurricane, Barefoot Lagoon will give you a discounted rate while you remain at Barefoot Lagoon. *A Tropical Storm is defined/validated by the National Hurricane Center which the sustained surface wind are 39-73 mph. *A Hurricane is defined/validated by the National Hurricane Center, typically a tropical cyclone in which the maximum sustained surface wind is 74 mph (64 knots) or greater. Our policy, although perhaps less flexible than that of many large hotel chains, is essential in renting our property. Unlike most hotels in the US, Canada, Europe and other metropolitan areas, ours cannot count on any "local trade", or guests arriving by car at the last minute. We depend almost exclusively on an overseas clientele arriving by air for visits invariably planned well in advance. The cancellation notice stipulated is the minimum we consider necessary to have any chance of rebooking accommodations. We sincerely hope that you can appreciate our situations, and we thank you for your understanding. This policy is subject to change without notice and to the discretion of the owner of Barefoot Lagoon.
