We would like to take this opportunity to personally express our appreciation for the ongoing support you have shown towards all properties and supporting facilities operating under the Alaya Hotels & Resorts banner. First and foremost, our hearts are with those who have been affected by Covid-19. In this unprecedented and challenging time, we want you to know that we are doing what we can to ensure your travel safety and to provide maximum flexibility to all of our guests.

We are closely monitoring the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and World Health Organization’s statements regarding the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) cases and following guidelines from these agencies and the local health departments. The safety of our guests, owners, team members and partners around the world is a top priority. We are recommending that Alaya Hotels and Resorts follow the guidelines established by the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and their local health departments – and to report any suspected cases to the proper authorities as soon as possible.

The well-being and safety of the Alaya Hotels and Resorts customers and staff is vitally important, and that is why we have decided to update our booking cancellation policy and offer flexibility in the light of the COVID-19 as follow:

• Retain the value of your reservation and extend its validity.
• Rebook at a later date once you have decided on your travel plans

The travel retain is applicable to guests reservation on or before 30 April 2020 with travel dates up to 31 December 2020. Customers should also note the following :

• New itinerary must be completed by 30 December 2020
• A rate difference may apply for the new itinerary

We will continue to review our policy and retain the flexibility to extend the cut-off date of 31 May 2020 as we assess the impact of the Covid-19 outbreak on global air travel.
