You stay overnight in a chosen mid-price hotel of the region which are run by the owner so these hotels doesn’t belong to any large hotel chains or the like. They are quite similar in comfort and culinary and are located near the water. Since we work with multi hotels and have not bought firm contingents, we register the booking only when we have made the firm register, and then name the hotel with the booking confirmation firm. You have the option to cancel the booking until 7 days after we emailed the booking confirmation to you with an answer to this mail if you not agree with the hotel. The canceling is free for you in the time frame of the 7 days.
