It is important that you have adequate travel insurance to cover any amounts that you have paid to us or to airlines or other travel costs.
QOTP requires that you have travel insurance to cover your costs in the event that you have to miss some, or all of your trip, and are not eligible for a refund from us under our cancellation policy.
The most common reason for last minute cancellation’s are Covid-related, personal injury, a death in the family, or airline cancellations so we advise that you check your insurer will cover you in these instances.
If your stay at Malibu Popoyo has to be cancelled by us due to reasons beyond our control (like a pandemic, airline cancellations, natural disaster for example), QOTP is not liable for any refunds or travel costs so it’s also important that your travel insurance should cover “operator cancellations”, which most standard policies do. Please send proof of this insurance when you send your release form to us or send to us in an email.
If you decide not to purchase this insurance and do not send proof yet still attend retreat please understand that this was your own decision made at your own risk!
