For reservations made through the Hotel Roulette booking system, the deposit required will be 100% of the amount of the reservation

This deposit and payment policy is understood as general and will be applied by default to all bookings, except in cases where the contracting of a special rate or promotion entails certain specific deposit terms that differ from general deposit terms which, in any case, will be duly communicated to the Client.

Where applicable, the Client shall pay the deposit at the time of booking and shall pay the remaining amounts upon presentation of the invoice by the hotel.

3.3.- Booking reference. A corresponding booking reference will be assigned once the booking has been confirmed.

3.4.- Hotel Roulette booking system. Through this booking process, the Client requests a reservation for a specific date at one of the resort’s hotels, except for Ponient Vila Centric, Ponient Dorada Palace, Pirámide Salou hotels and/or Ponient Marinada, which are only included in case of group reservations. PortAventura World will allocate the corresponding hotel at its own discretion, notifying the Client 24 hours before arrival, guaranteeing the best price for that date at any of the above-mentioned hotels.

This booking method, which offers a promotional rate, has special terms and conditions of payment, cancellation, and modification, according to the established below:

Payment: payment for the entire stay will be made entirely when formalising the booking.

Cancellation and modification: the reservation cannot be changed. There are no refunds in the event of cancellation of a booking.

When making the reservation, the Client may purchase the entrance tickets to Caribe Aquatic Park mentioned in section 10 of these Specific Terms and Conditions.

4.- Method of payment. The Client may pay the amount of the deposit, or 100% of the reservation, as appropriate, through any of the following payment methods:

  • Cash, credit or debit card. In this case, the Client must provide PAESA with the relevant details. The amount payable for all reserved services, less the deposit, must be paid by the Client upon presentation of the invoice by the hotel, by cash, credit or debit card. For the Hotel Roulette booking system, 100% of the reservation amount will be charged to the credit/debit card. All relevant charges will be made to the bank card used to make the reservation. The Client expressly consents to these charges to cover any applicable penalties for cancellations or changes.

The Client will also have the option of paying the remaining amount of the reservation, as well as any other additional service contracted at the hotel reception, through the following payment methods:

  • Credit or debit card.
  • Cash: provided that the transaction amount is less than 1,000 euros (or its equivalent in foreign currency).
  • Cryptocurrencies, in which case the following conditions will apply:
    • Payment with cryptocurrencies will be allowed provided that the equivalent value in euros of the transaction amount is less than 1,000 euros.
    • Given the large number of cryptocurrencies on the market, PAESA will not allow payment with any cryptocurrency, but only with those that it chooses to accept at any given time as a payment method. The cryptocurrencies that are accepted as a payment method at any given time will be those that are indicated as available on the payment confirmation screen.
    • Once the cryptocurrencies have been selected as the payment method and always before the payment confirmation, PAESA will provide the Client with a breakdown of all the expenses and commissions, as well as the exchange rate that will be applied for the conversion of the transaction.
    • Once the Client confirms the cryptocurrency chosen as the payment method and accepts all the expenses and commissions associated with this payment method, the payment will be made through a transfer made from the Client’s wallet to the public key that appears on the payment screen. This public key may be represented in the form of a QR code, or similar technology, and will correspond to a wallet that may be owned by PAESA or by a third party authorised to receive payment on its behalf.
    • If, for reasons beyond the control of PAESA, the transfer of cryptocurrencies described above is made to an erroneous public address, PAESA will not be liable to the Client for the loss of the transferred cryptocurrencies and the payment will be understood as not received and the Client will still be required to pay the outstanding balance.
    • Transactions paid with this payment method will be considered an exchange.
    • The tax implications for the Client derived from the payment in cryptocurrencies will be their sole responsibility; PAESA does not accept any liability in this regard.

5.- Cancellations: Cancellations of bookings are subject to the following cancellation fees, except for cancellations of reservations through the Hotel Roulette booking system which, since they involve a promotional price, are non-refundable:

Cancellations of hotel reservations will also entail cancellation of the additional services included in the booking.

This cancellation policy is understood as general and will be applied by default on all bookings except in cases where the agreement of a special rate or promotion entails certain specific conditions that differ from general cancellation conditions, which, in any case will be duly communicated to the Client.

  1. If the change involves additional services, the increase will be added to the amount payable at the time of booking and will be subject to availability.
  2. Changes made less than 7 days before the scheduled arrival date which involve a reduction in the total cost will be subject to the application of a penalty for cancellation of services under the terms and conditions stipulated in the contract.
  3. Changes to dates or the name of the contact person for the booking will be processed as a cancellation of the initial reservation and will result in the generation of a new one with a price estimate based on the creation date of the new booking, subject to the application of penalties that may apply depending on the date.

PortAventura World reserves the right to charge an €8 fee for any changes made to existing reservations.

This booking change policy is understood as general and will be applied by default to all bookings except in cases where the agreement for a special rate or promotion entails certain specific terms and conditions that differ from general change conditions which, in any case, will be duly reflected in the contract with the Client.

7.- Transfer. The Client may transfer his or her booking to another person by sending written notification 15 days before the date of arrival. The recipient must comply with the same general requirements for accommodation as the purchaser.
