4 NIGHTS PER BOOKING MINIMUM
Four nights is the minimum length per reservation, but if there are only two or three nights available between existing bookings on the dates you’d like to visit, please contact us.
MAXIMUM 10 GUESTS PER BOOKING
Our insurance does not cover us if more than ten people occupy the retreat. For this reason, we cannot accept any parties larger than ten people (children under two years do not count).
LIMIT ON OUTSIDE GUESTS
Due to the terms of our insurance policy and local fire-safety laws, no more than ten people may be present at any one time in the house. So if you are a party of six, for example, you may invite up to four outside guests to visit you at a time. If you are a party of ten, you cannot have any outside guests.
NO PARTIES
We welcome peaceful family celebrations, but any gatherings where the sole purpose is partying and drinking, such as spring breaks, bachelor/bachelorette parties, etc, are strictly not allowed and will not be checked-in.
NO NOISE AFTER 10PM
Bali Retreat is located in a very quiet residential neighborhood and our neighbors do not want to be disturbed by loud music or other noise. Local laws forbid any noise between 10pm and 6am, please respect it (on our cul-de-sac lives the Chief of Police, a district judge, and a government lawyer, so you may be certain that police will be called).
NO SMOKING
Smoking in any indoor space of the retreat is strictly forbidden and will result in an extra $500 cleaning fee. If you smoke in the garden, please make sure to use the ashtray provided and dispose of your ash and cigarette butts safely due to the high risk of fire.
NO CANDLES OR FIRES
Live fires are not allowed anywhere on the property due to the extremely high fire risk in the arid climate of Aruba and the abundance of wood, trees, and dry palm fronds in the property. Please do not light candles or make bonfires and only dispose of cigarette butts in an ashtray, never throw them on the ground in the garden.
Every year, there are several deadly fires on the island, usually in vacation rentals, caused by candles, bonfires or careless disposal of cigarette butts. Please be careful and vigilant about fire safety.
