You authorize Tobago Bookings to book reservations for the total reservation price, which includes the room rate displayed on the Website, plus tax recovery charges, service fees, and where applicable, taxes on the Tobago Bookings Companies' services.

If we are acting as your Booking Agent, we will pass on any such increase to you as we become aware of such increase.

Subject to the Supplier’s terms and conditions, you will then have the choice of accepting the change of arrangements, accepting an offer of alternative travel arrangements if one is made available by the Supplier, or canceling your booked arrangements and receiving any applicable refunds. We do not guaranty that any refunds will apply.

If you decide to cancel arrangements before the balance due date, any deposits paid are non-refundable.
