HOW TO BOOK YOUR RESERVATION

 
*If you are booking on the same reservation as someone else and you each want to be responsible for your own payments, select 1 traveler on your form and add a note to the comment section of your booking form requesting that your reservation be merged.  Be sure to include the name of the person that your reservation should be merged with.  Initially, your reservation will calculate the single occupancy rate for whatever package you select.  Once your reservations are merged, you will receive an updated invoice reflecting the correct occupancy and rate.*
 
Step 1: Review the terms and conditions below.  Booking your package signifies your acceptance of our Terms & Conditions.
 
Step 2: Scroll down to view the different room categories.  The "Starting At” price for each room category reflects the triple/quad occupancy rate (if three people or 4 people are sharing a room) for 3 nights.  That is the per-person rate.  Single and double occupancy rates are different.  Rates for 4 and 5 nights are different.  You will see the exact price for your specific package once you select your travel dates and the number of travelers.
 
Step 3: Click on the "book now" button next to the room category of your choice.
 
Step 4: You will see two drop-down menus under "Select travelers & dates".  Enter the number of people that will be rooming with you, as well as your desired travel dates. 
 
Step 5: Scroll further down the "Add Extra Options" section to add travel insurance to your package (highly recommended!).  Travel insurance policies are per person so if there are two people on your reservation, you must select two policies using the drop-down menu.  Travel insurance must be paid in full at the time of booking.  This will NOT be included on your reservation unless you select it as an add-on.  Feel free to purchase third-party travel insurance of your preference.
 
Step 6: Prior to clicking on the "continue to traveler info" button on the right side, please scroll up to review that you have 1) Selected the correct number of travelers, 2) Have your desired travel dates, 3) Ensure that you have the correct room category selected, and 4) Added insurance
 
Step 7: Review the summary of your reservation on the right and click "continue to traveler info" if it matches what you would like to book.
 
Step 8: Enter the primary traveler's information here.  Typically that would be the person taking care of the payments.  Once terms and conditions are signed for the primary traveler, the "additional traveler" tab(s) need to be completed for each additional person on the reservation.  Add the child(ren) to the additional traveler's form.
 
Step 9: Click "continue to payment" and submit your payment.  Please note that our system uses SSL encryption, which is the same technology banks use to protect sensitive information.
