General terms and conditions
Payment of a deposit and/or receipt of key/s are deemed to be your acceptance of these Terms and Conditions.
We will always attempt to accurately describe a property and its facilities. Experience shows that some confusion/misinterpretation is always possible. Therefore No responsibility is accepted for errors and omissions contained in any communications, our website or holiday brochure.
We cannot be held responsible for the decisions of the owners of premises (i.e. sale of the property, alterations/repairs, withdrawal of the premises from the letting pool, or other act including increase of tariffs), which may affect this booking. In the event of a property becoming unavailable, every effort will be made to find alternative accommodation. Where the property owner cancels a booking all deposits will be refunded.
Acceptance of deposits by Ocean Blue Retreat shall not impose any obligation on the part of Ocean Blue Retreat to provide any product or service or guarantee any price quoted or published.
We accept Revolut and Wire Transfer Payments (speak to us about any other types)
When Internet access is provided. The Property Owner and Ocean Blue Retreat will provide the equipment and a valid user account in good faith, and cannot be held responsible for anything arising from its use or temporary non- availability.
Any service difficulties, once reported to the property manager will be relayed to the service provider for rectification. Ocean Blue Retreat accepts no responsibility for guests personal property left on the property. The guest is responsible for maintaining the security of the property throughout, and immediately after their stay.

New building and renovations are common in North Cyprus. Unfortunately the notification of surrounding property owners/managers of such work is not a common practice. If we are aware of work that will adversely affect your stay we will advise you prior to arrival. Where building or other work, of which we were not aware, does adversely affects your stay we will attempt to minimise its effect, but cannot be held responsible for the any disturbance or inconvenience caused.
As with all holiday letting, unexpected situations can cause inconvenience (i.e. electrical and appliance malfunctions, storms, excessive rain, flooding, and basic wear and tear). All reported cases effecting the enjoyment of the property will be dealt with in a diligent and professional manner by the property manager. Claims for compensation will not be considered after you have departed.
