In extreme cases such as a sudden death in the immediate family just before departure, a refund will be given within 90 DAYS. In the case of severe medical problems, dates may be changed.

Refund policies apply not only to Basic, Semi-Inclusive, Economy Accommodations and All-Inclusive packages, but also to prices for Airport Pick Up and Return.

Also, refunds will not be given for personal changes you make to your itinerary and number of days you have reserved and paid for regarding accommodations and scheduled airport pickup and return--due to last minute airline delays or changes. For this reason, we encourage all guests to obtain travel insurance in order to cover such unexpected expenses or losses. For this reason, we encourage all guests to obtain travel insurance in order to cover such unexpected expenses or losses.

All of the above policies are also the policies of four reputable travel agencies owned and operated by Jehovah's witnesses, in the United States and Canada who represent our Tropical Island Bed & Breakfast.

Whenever brothers reserve accommodations and transportation through Tropical Island Bed & Breakfast, these travel agencies are notified so that they know that these dates are unavailable for them to reserve accommodations & transportation with other brothers who book through them. For this reason, there are no refunds for cancellations 0-60 days prior to or after arrival.

Because time and unforeseen circumstances befall us all, and to avoid high cancellation fees, we would strongly recommend your obtaining travel insurance so that if your vacation tour is cancelled for any of the reasons outlined in the premium, you can file a claim to the insurance company and receive a refund for your vacation package/tour and airline tickets.
