The small print, in plain words
Arriving
Check-in and check-out times are confirmed with the booking. Early check-in and late check-out are usually possible — we request them with the booking.
Rates
Rates move by season, board basis and market, so we quote per enquiry rather than publish a nightly figure. Net or commissionable, whichever your agency works on.
Who you deal with
One contact in Malé owns the file end to end — the property, the transfers, and anything that moves once your clients land.
