Terms & Conditions

RISKS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
Golfo Dulce Retreat is a small, isolated ecolodge accessible only by boat and in the midst of a real rainforest habitat. As such there are inherent risks which you need to be aware of and for which we accept no responsibility. By proceeding with the reservation, you shall indemnify and hold Golfo Dulce Retreat, its related companies and employees harmless in respect of any liability, loss, damage, cost and expense of any nature arising out of, and/or in connection with the following:

1) TRAVEL DISRUPTIONS: We accept no responsibility if your travel itinerary is disrupted by, for example, bad weather, flight cancellations, diversions or delays; this includes internal flights whether we purchase them on your behalf or not. Please understand that the later in the day you leave your arrival or departure, the higher the risk of disruption due to adverse weather. We will not be able to offer you a full or partial refund for any missed night and so we STRONGLY ADVISE our guests to ensure that travel disruptions are covered by TRAVEL INSURANCE. If not covered by travel insurance, the responsibility still remains with the guest.

2) BOAT ACCESS ONLY: Golfo Dulce Retreat is only accessible by boat and we cannot wait for guests to arrive in Golfito or Puerto Jimenez after dark; 4:30pm is typically the latest pick-up time. If your travel is delayed beyond this time, it will be your responsibility to find a suitable accommodation for the night and we will not be able to offer you a full or partial refund for your missed night at our retreat.

3) LIMITED MEANS OF COMMUNICATION: We have no cellular signal at the Retreat and the only way to communicate with us is by email or internet messaging services such as WhatsApp. If you need to communicate with us, you therefore need to find an internet/wifi connection or a have an active data SIM card. We accept no responsibility if you choose to communicate with us by other means and, as a result of us not being aware of the communication, your arrival at the Retreat is disrupted.

4) MARINE RISKS: There are inherent risks involved with snorkelling, kayaking and boating, included but not limited to equipment failure, perils of the sea, harm caused by marine creatures (including bites), boarding or disembarking boats, kayaks and SUPs. This is true during the daytime and, especially, during night-time excursions such as the Bioluminescence Boat Outing.

5) RAINFOREST RISKS: There are inherent risks involved in a rainforest included but not limited to falling trees and branches and harm caused by forest creatures such as snakes. These risks exist while hiking, walking around our property and the beach or residing in any of our structures including our Cabins, the Restaurant and Living areas and the beach Cabanas.

6) LIMITED MEDICAL FACILITIES: You must understand that the Retreat and our boats have limited medical facilities and that, in the event of illness or injury, appropriate medical care and treatment will be delayed until you can be transported to the nearest hospital in Golfito. In case of a medical problem arising during the stay, which results in costs for evacuation, use of aircraft or repatriation, the responsibility for payment of these costs belongs solely to the guest. We strongly advise our guests to ensure that such eventualities are covered by TRAVEL INSURANCE. If not covered by travel insurance, the responsibility still remains with the guest.

IN SUMMARY Golfo Dulce Retreat assumes no responsibility whatsoever for injury, loss or damage to person or property in connection with any service resulting directly from: natural disasters, adverse weather, detention, annoyance, delays, pandemics, expenses arising from quarantine, strikes, thefts, pilferage, failure of any means of conveyance to arrive or depart as scheduled, civil disturbances, terrorism, government restrictions or regulations and discrepancies or changes in transit or hotel services over which we have no control.

SMOKING
As per Costa Rican law, smoking is not permitted in guest rooms, social areas, pool, boat, trails and the National Park.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
By proceeding with the reservation, you agree and acknowledge that if the reservation is accepted by Golfo Dulce Retreat, your stay subsequently shall be subject to our Hotel's terms and conditions of stay.

The Hotel shall be entitled to vary, amend and/or otherwise change these terms and conditions at any time without prior notice. You shall indemnify and hold the Hotel harmless in respect of any liability, loss, damage, cost and expense of any nature arising out of, and/or in connection with the acceptance of the reservation by the Hotel. The Hotel shall not be liable for any losses, damages, costs or expenses incurred by you as a result of any cancellation of the reservation by the Hotel.
