Reservations Service

Circuit de la Palmeraie, BP1488, 40000 Marrakesh, Morocco

1. In conformity with Act 31-08, in force in Morocco, specifying the measures for the protection of Consumers, customers are reminded that, upon approval of the booked reservation, they will be deemed to have waived their right of retraction. The customer shall be deemed to have formally and irrevocably agreed to this in full knowledge of the consequences that could arise from its waiver of its right of retraction.
2. The terms of sale for the reserved rate will specify the procedures for a cancellation and/or modification of the reservation.
3. Prepaid reservations may not be modified and/or cancelled. The sums paid are deemed to be a non-refundable advance (arrhes) by virtue of the Dahir, acting as the Obligations and Contracts Code, in force in Morocco, and will not be reimbursed, unless the modification or cancellation is made by PALMERAIE RESORTS for a legitimate reason, in which case the customer will be reimbursed the sums already paid within a time-limit of fifteen (15) days of payment. In such circumstances, this is expressly mentioned in the terms of sale for the rate.
4. When the terms of sale for the reserved rate so permit:
   – cancellations of reservations may be made directly on the Site under the heading “Cancel a Booking”. In the event of a late cancellation, less than 48 hours prior to the arrival of a guest, the first night shall be charged as a cancellation charge;
   – changes to the reservation may be made directly on the Site under the heading “Change a Booking”.
5. In the event t a guest voluntarily leaves prior to the end of the period booked, one night shall be charged as an early termination fee. In the event a guest fails to arrive (no-show), the customer will be charged for the first night. In the event of a prepaid reservation, no reimbursement will be made in such circumstances.
6. Unless expressly provided otherwise, guests are required to leave their room prior to 12:00 p.m. on the date the period booked expires, unless a late check-out has been requested by the guest and agreed to by the hotel. Failing which, the customer will be charged for an additional night. No objections will be accepted in such regard.

1. Pursuant to the regulations in force in certain countries, a guest may be requested, upon arrival at the hotel, to fill out an information sheet for the police. In order to complete this formality, a guest will be required to present a valid identification document.
2. Certain establishments are prepared to accept certain pets provided that they are kept on a leash or in a cage in the common areas of the establishment (in order to verify whether an establishment accepts animals or not, please see the establishment information on palmeraieresorts.com). For reasons of hygiene, animals are not permitted in restaurants and food areas. Our hotel establishments will have no liability with respect to such animals, the guests who are the owners of the animals assuming full responsibility for their custody. In consequence customers are informed that guests will be solely liability for any damage caused by any such an animal to the property of the hotel in question, its guests and its visitors, and furthermore that a guest will be deemed to have already authorised the hotel’s management to charge the guest for any damage that may be caused by its pet.
3. The customer accepts and agrees to use the room in a careful and prudent manner. In addition any behaviour that is contrary to accepted moral standards and rules of public policy may lead the hotel to require a guest to quit the establishment without any compensation nor any reimbursement if payment has already been made.
4. Certain of our hotel establishments have adopted rules that apply to their guests. The customer shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to be bound by such rules. In the event a guest fails to comply with any of the provisions of the rules, the hotel may be obligated to request the guest to quit the establishment without any reimbursement if payment has already been made.
5. Certain hotels offer guests Internet access via Wi-Fi (paid or not). The customer agrees that such IT resources made available by the hotel, shall not, in any manner, be used for the reproduction, representation, making available or transmission of public works or objects that are protected by copyright law or by a neighbouring rights, such as texts, images, photographs, musical works, audiovisual works, software and video games, without authorisation from the rights holders in conformity with the provisions of Act 17-97, in force in Morocco, with respect to the protection of intellectual property, whenever such an authorisation is required. Guests are obligated to comply with the security policies of the Internet access supplier for the hotel they are staying at, including the rules with respect to the use of secure resources implemented with the aim of preventing illicit use of IT resources and avoiding any harm to the integrity of such resources. If the customer fails to conform with the preceding obligations, it risks being held liable for infringement (Article 213 of Act 17-97, in force in Morocco, with respect to the protection of intellectual property), which may be punished by a term of imprisonment of two to six months or a fine of 50,000 DH to 500,000 DH, or both.

11. If a rate requires that payment be made to the establishment at the time of arrival or upon departure, and the currency used by the customer is not the same as the currency used at the booked hotel, as a consequence of possible changes in exchange rates between the date of reservation and the date of the stay at the hotel, the rate charged by such establishment may be different from that transmitted at the time of the reservation.
12. PALMERAIE RESORTS, at the time of confirmation of the reservation to the customer, will indicate the total amount for the booking.

If a customer reserves several rooms but prepayment is only required, for example, for a single room, in such circumstances, the credit or debit card used on the Maroc Télécommerce payment platform will be used to pay for the prepayment for the room in question and as the credit or debit card guaranteeing payment for the other rooms.
7. At the time of prepayment, the amount charged for the reservation will include: the price of the room, the price of the meals (if breakfast included has been selected), and all other additional services chosen by the customer.
