We are delighted to have you as our guest at ANANDA YOGA & DETOX CENTER. So as to ensure that your stay is pleasurable, serene and safe, and to avoid any confusion, please make the time to briefly peruse this outline of our Resort Rules and Guidelines.
We are sure that you will understand that, if these Rules and Guidelines are seriously violated, the Resort will have the right to request you to terminate your stay and, if the circumstances justify it, also to pay for any damage arising from such violation.
Smoking is not permitted in the Resort’s rooms and bungalows, or anywhere else within the Resort’s grounds. Guests observed to be smoking will be requested to desist, or to temporarily exit the premises.
Maintenance of Peace and Quiet: Guests visit our Resort for the purposes of enjoying a relaxed yoga vacation and beneficial health treatments. Please assist their enjoyment by being as quiet and considerate as possible, by not permitting undue noise to emanate from your room/bungalow and by not otherwise disturbing them in the Resort’s public areas and facilities. In particular, kindly be especially considerate of other people’s need for quiet between the hours of 9:00 pm to 8:00 am. We also request that guest maintain quiet voices around yoga spaces and communal areas. Our restaurant/lounge, the Shell Lounge, is just across the road and offers an ideal location for communal gatherings and conversation. Our Lounge is open from 8 am to 9 pm everyday.
Check-In: Our Check-in Time is from 2:00 pm until 7:00 pm. If you arrive at the Resort earlier than 2:00 pm feel free to use our facilities so we have the time to prepare the accommodation.
Key deposit: A key deposit of THB2,000 (refundable on check-out once room and safe keys are returned) will be charged at check-in.
Check-Out. Our Check-out Time is 11:00 a.m. Please adhere as closely as possible to that time, for we need you to vacate your accommodation sufficiently early for us to ready it for the guests who will follow you.
Reservation and Payment: Our policies with respect to reservation and payment are intended to be as fair as possible, while also sparing the Resort an unjustified loss of anticipated income. Once a room/bungalow has been reserved for an arriving guest, that room/bungalow is deleted from our list of available accommodation and is refused to anyone else. We require that to finalize their booking of accommodation, all guests provide a deposit or advance payment. Upon the Resort’s receipt of such deposit or advance payment, the guest will receive a confirmation e-mail within 24 hours. Whatever is owed, over and above the amount deposited or paid is to be settled upon arrival at Check-in. If a guest pays by means of a Bank wire, a VISA or MasterCard credit card, the Resort will add a 3% fee to the sum payable. We appreciate your cooperation.
Detox Program Refunds and Cancellation: No refund is granted in the event that a guest decides to effect an early departure, irrespective of the reason for such departure.
Where cancellations of bookings prior to arrival are concerned:
- For accounting purposes, a written request is required to receive any refund. An emailed request is preferred. Please email [email protected] to request your refund.
- If the Resort receives notice of a guest’s booking cancellation at any time within 15 days before the guest’s scheduled arrival, none of any deposit or advance payment made will be refundable. Please note if there is a documented medical or travel-related reason your deposit can be applied to other programs anytime within 12 months of your original booking.
