FORCE MAJEURE: Fisherman’s Cove will not be held liable for, nor issue refunds due to, circumstances beyond its control. In such situations, we strongly recommend that guests purchase travel insurance, which may provide coverage for unexpected events, including medical emergencies, trip interruptions, and force majeure events—extraordinary circumstances beyond anyone’s control, such as hurricanes, severe weather, red tide, or other natural disasters. See Travel insurance details below. 

TRAVEL INSURANCE RECOMMENDATION: Travel protection has been made available with your reservation through Generali Global Assistance. The Plan includes coverage for the loss of your prepaid, non-refundable trip costs if your trip is cancelled or interrupted due to certain unforeseeable events. We offer travel protection as a way for you to help protect yourself and your trip investment. Outstanding reservation costs are not eligible for reimbursement at the time of cancellation, and the cost of the Plan is not eligible for a full refund outside of the Plan’s free look period. Terms and conditions apply; please read your Plan documents carefully and contact Generali Global Assistance with coverage questions. View complete Plan Details

The plan cost includes the travel insurance premium and the assistance services fee. Travel insurance coverages are underwritten by: Generali U.S. Branch, New York, NY; NAIC # 11231, for the operating name used in certain states, and other important information about the Travel Insurance & Assistance Services Plan, please see Important Disclosures. 

SUBSTITUTION OF ACCOMMODATIONS: Where circumstances arise beyond our control (i.e., fire, hurricane, sale of unit, etc.), your confirmed property may be unavailable upon your arrival. Fisherman’s Cove reserves the right, at its sole and absolute discretion, to relocate a guest to an alternate property of comparable quality and accommodations should circumstances require. In the event the guest declines the relocation, Fisherman’s Cove shall cancel the reservation and refund all amounts paid by the guest for the original booking in full. Such refund shall constitute full settlement, and Fisherman’s Cove shall have no further liability arising from the relocation or cancellation.

If your unit has this feature, you’ll receive your door access code before check-in.
