The privacy and security of your information is very important to us. Whether you are booking a room or subscribe to our email list, we want you to trust that the information that you have provided to us is being properly managed and protected.
We collect and use personal information if you make a booking through our reservation system, stay at our property or subscribe to our email list. To learn more, please click the relevant section below.
We collect information from you when you make a booking through our reservation system or stay at our property. Information collected during the course of the reservation and during your stay may include:
Your name, email address, home and business address, phone number, nationality and payment card information;
Information such as stay and room preferences made during the course of your reservation such as your preferred room type and specific requests to the hotel.
This information may be provided to us directly when you make a reservation through one of our booking channels, through our websites, or directly by phone, email or at the hotel. In some cases we may receive this information from a third-party, such as when you book through an online booking channel or travel agency.
We use the information collected from you primarily to fulfil your hotel reservation. Prior to your stay this may include sending your information to the hotel or sending you pre-stay communications. Following your stay, we may also send you post-stay communications and satisfaction surveys to get feedback on your experience.
In some instances where we have your consent or where permitted under applicable law, we may send you marketing communications (which may email messages) to communicate promotions, special offers or upcoming events.
We do not share your information with third parties unless we have your consent, or third party under special circumstances, which may include when we believe in good faith that the disclosure is required by law or to protect the safety of hotel guests, employees, the public or property, when disclosure is required to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, subpoena, warrant or legal process; or in the event of a merger, asset sale, or other related transaction.
As we operate in Costa Rica, and our data systems are hosted in the United States and Canada. It may be necessary to transfer your information to a country outside of the country where it was originally collected or outside of your country of residence or nationality. The information that you provide us during the course of a reservation or through the provision of any other services may be transferred to systems under our control for the purposes of carrying out or facilitating services. In the event you submit your reservation through a third party booking channel, then your data may be handled or transferred according to the privacy policy of the specific booking channel.
