Terms & Conditions
GENERAL
La Valise Bacalar is a property operated by Namron Hospitality Group.
The general terms and conditions herein, together with the privacy notice, bookings & cancellations policy, fee schedule & hotel schedule, and add-ons available on the hotel website, and the booking confirmation issued by the hotel ("booking confirmation"), shall constitute a legally binding contract between you and the hotel, and shall be further supplemented by the internal rules and regulations that apply specifically to the hotel.
In these terms and conditions, the words "we" or "us" mean the hotel and its employees, officers, agents, suppliers, and vendors, and the words "you" or "guest(s)" mean any and all persons for whom a hotel room is booked.
The only valid booking sources are the links provided on our website www.lavalisebacalar.com and our official OTA profiles (please verify first with our Reservations Department at reservations@bocadeagua.com or via WhatsApp at (+52) 983 137 8187). Any other booking source is invalid, and the hotel reserves the right to refuse any reservation coming from such sites. The hotel will not be responsible for any damage caused by a booking created through unauthorized sources.
The guest confirms that they are the owner of the registered credit card left as a guarantee for their reservation and authorizes us to charge all costs of rooms, additional services, consumption, food & beverage, damages, incidentals, deposits, and penalties related to their reservation before, during, and after their stay.
BOOKINGS
Bookings may be made online at www.lavalisebacalar.com, through authorized travel agencies, or directly with our Reservations Department.
At all times during the booking process, you are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of your booking details (guest details, stay dates, room types, room rates, number of guests, add-ons). The hotel will not be responsible or liable for errors in booking details. Bookings are accepted subject to room availability.
Once your booking has been completed, a booking confirmation will be issued for each room booked and sent to the email address provided. You must present your booking confirmation upon check-in, together with your original valid photo identification (passport, national ID card, driver's license, or other document the hotel may require).
If you do not receive your booking confirmation within twenty-four (24) hours of booking, please contact us at reservations@bocadeagua.com or via WhatsApp at (+52) 983 137 8187. The guest named in the booking confirmation must be the person staying at the hotel; otherwise, we reserve the right to cancel the booking.
RATES, DEPOSITS AND PAYMENT
Room rates shown on the hotel website are charged on a per room, per night basis. Meals and add-ons are not included unless otherwise stated.
All prices are quoted in US dollars and do not include applicable taxes (16% VAT and 4% lodging tax).
Depending on the rate selected during the booking process, a deposit will be collected according to the conditions of that rate.
The hotel accepts Visa, Mastercard, and American Express credit and debit cards. The available payment options are displayed during the booking process. Payment by check is not accepted.
By completing a booking, you certify that you are the cardholder and authorize us to charge your credit card for the amounts due. All non-refundable rates are charged in full at the time of booking. If there is an issue processing a charge, we will contact you by email to request an updated payment method.
A pre-authorization of $50 USD per night will be held on your credit card upon check-in as a guarantee for incidentals during your stay, and will be released within 24 hours after check-out.
NON-REFUNDABLE RATES AND PACKAGES
Non-refundable rates and special reservations are charged in full on the date the reservation is made and cannot be modified or canceled.
All bookings and promotions made for packages are non-refundable. The full amount is charged to your credit card at the time of booking.
GROUP BOOKINGS
Group Booking Policy: Our standard reservation and cancellation policy applies to bookings of up to 3 rooms. If a single group reserves more than 3 rooms, our group policies will apply. Non-compliance with the group reservation terms may result in cancellation of the reservation. A reservation of 6 or more rooms is considered a buyout and requires a special contract with separate rates and policies.
Group Deposit Policy: For group bookings of 4 rooms, a deposit equal to the total amount of the reservation will be collected 60 days prior to arrival. For bookings of 5 rooms, a 50% deposit is required, with the remaining balance due 30 days prior to arrival.
Group Cancellation Policy: For group bookings of 4 rooms, cancellations are free of charge if requested more than 60 days prior to arrival; cancellations made 60 days or less before arrival will incur a 100% charge. For group bookings of 5 rooms, cancellations made more than 30 days prior to arrival will incur a 50% fee, and cancellations made 30 days or less prior to arrival will incur a 100% fee.
CANCELLATIONS
We are a small, boutique hotel and maintain a strict cancellation policy. Please consider the following:
- Depending on the rate selected during the booking process, a penalty fee will apply according to the conditions of that rate.
- These conditions do not apply to non-refundable rates or prepaid packages, for which no refunds apply.
- All cancellations and changes must be requested by email to reservations@bocadeagua.com. We do not accept cancellation requests by phone, SMS, WhatsApp, or any other method.
- In case of early departure or no-show, the total amount of your stay will be charged and no refund or credit will be offered.
- If you make changes to your reservation after the cancellation period or shorten your stay, we will charge the number of nights originally booked.
- If the price changes between your booking date and your arrival date, both parties will respect the rate of the original reservation.
- We are not responsible for changes or cancellations arising from fire, epidemics, health risks, transportation issues, flight delays, closed or congested airports, or any unforeseeable or unavoidable events beyond the hotel's control. We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance.
- If you booked through a website other than the hotel's, please contact that booking agent or website to request changes.
CHANGES
A change of guest name is allowed if requested three (3) full days or more before the check-in date.
No changes to stay dates, room category, or length of stay may be made; however, you may cancel the booking and make a new one, subject to availability and to the cancellation terms above.
CHECK-IN AND CHECK-OUT
Minimum age for check-in: the guest checking in must be 18 years or older and present a valid government-issued photo ID (such as a passport or driver's license) and a corresponding credit card.
Check-in is at 3:00 pm. Early check-in is available upon request, subject to availability. Luggage storage is available.
Booked rooms will be held until 6:00 am the day after the scheduled check-in date, after which the booking will be considered a no-show and the hotel may release the room(s) for the remaining dates. No refunds will be provided.

RESTRICTIONS
We strictly enforce a no-smoking policy in all guest rooms (including private terraces and balconies) and public spaces. A $200 USD deep-cleaning fee will apply for smoking in non-smoking areas. Failure to comply entitles us to terminate your booking and stay at our sole discretion, and you must leave the hotel immediately without compensation or reimbursement.
You shall be liable for any costs, loss, or damage incurred by the hotel, its guests, or third parties arising from your failure to comply with this policy.
You may not bring the following into the hotel:

- Electrical appliances or equipment for heating and/or cooking.
The hotel reserves the right to remove and/or confiscate any such items without notice, and to charge you for any costs, loss, or damage resulting from your failure to comply.
The hotel further reserves the right to ask you to leave the hotel immediately if, in our sole opinion, you have used the room in an irresponsible manner or in a way that compromises the safety of, or causes damage or harm to, the hotel, its guests, our staff, any other persons, or the hotel's reputation, without any compensation or reimbursement.

DAMAGE
You are liable for any damage, howsoever caused, to the allocated room(s) or to the hotel premises or property by you or any person in your party during your stay.

The hotel reserves the right to refuse accommodation to any person without notice and to terminate any booking without liability for any refund or compensation if:
