Please read the following Terms and Conditions before proceeding to the villa booking form (which will be sent to you when confirming the holiday)

Representative Services

Please note we either personally or by our representative services are available in Sri Lanka for your services in Sri Lanka. Therefore, you will be met on arrival at the airport by us or Hostess or our driver/guides if you have asked from us the transfers; otherwise, you will be welcomed by the Villa/Beach house owners or Managers/Staff. Please ensure that you refer to your itinerary/Holiday confirmation/Emails, which will provide the appropriate contact details, should you need assistance whilst on holiday.

Travel Arrangements

Do not make irreversible flight or travel arrangements until you have received a final confirmation of your booking. Or always book a Travel Insurance that covers any cancellations.

Why don’t you give out property addresses? 

Most properties are privately owned homes and not all owners would like us to reveal detailed information about their property for safety reasons, so we do not publicise the exact address details of any of our properties. What we do show is the nearest town or region so that you can start making plans about travel arrangements and chasing out amazing things to do close by. Once a booking is confirmed by us, we will send you the full street address. But it is probably best to wait until then before committing to any flight or travel arrangements.

Why is the name different to the property’s real name (e.g. Properties have given numbers) ? 

As mentioned above, for safety, confidential and easy identification reference reasons, to keep the property’s address private we have to change the name as well. We try to choose names that reflect the property’s history, character and setting, so that you can still get a good idea of its style and history or give a property reference number and happy give more insight about the property. Once we have confirmed your booking, we will send you the property’s real name and full address. The person who makes the booking accepts these conditions on behalf of all members of the party and is responsible for all payments due from the party. Booking services with the company are currently only available to persons who are at least 18 years old. By submitting a Booking Form you warrant and confirm to us that you have read these Terms & Conditions and agree to comply with them.

The www.villainsrilanka.co.uk website is a showcase page of its main website, Paragon Luxury Villas, owned and operated by  Paragon Luxury Villas LTD.

In these circumstances, we will notify you of changes before you book. However, please bear in mind that Property owners (villas, Beach houses and any other type of house), restaurateurs, nightclub owners etc., may wish to maintain or improve their facilities, or even take a break themselves. Circumstances such as these, or weather conditions such as heavy winds and monsoon rains, and most Beach properties (Villas and Beach houses) in Sri Lanka are in-between the main road and the beach the at times in some villas it is possible to hear noises of the traffic and we cannot be held responsible for such geographical or locations issues, etc.

Some owners change facilities of the house from time to time, e.g. Wi-Fi, fans items in the kitchen or furniture and may cause some of the amenities we have described to be unavailable or different from those advertised on our website or from any third party websites we may have listed or any agents who work with us. Responsibilities of Images used on our website or any third Party foreign agents who use images of the properties none can be held against us.

Exclusion of Liability

In consideration of the fact that the Company (PLV) acts only as a booking Intermediary Service Provider, the Company (PLV) accepts no liability whatsoever for any aspect of the arrangements and in particular, accepts no liability for any loss, personal injury/illness or death however incurred. Although the Company uses all reasonable endeavours to ensure the accuracy of all information provided and the quality and facilities of the villas, we cannot accept any liability whatsoever for any problems that occur while guests occupy the villa of their choice. All information has been provided in good faith and no liability is accepted whatsoever by the Company for any misrepresentation of villa material, images or accommodation. All Images, Information of the property or facilities are provided by the Villa manager/owner or has been received as instructed by the owner/manager/Marketing department from villas or from other sources, and we are not directly responsible for any misrepresentation of the villas or beach house or any properties we a feature: we only act as a booking Intermediary Service Provider and any claims regarding such issues should be addressed directly to the villa owner/Managers and any refunds due to such situations are not done through our agency rather we assist you with providing all information and contacts for you to deal directly with the owners.

If the owner agrees to refund anything (this depends if the owner had time to re-let the villa to some other party, providing you have given sufficient time or if on their point of view something is justifiable for their opinions, if both parties have disagreements then it is advisable to seek legal assistance), or not to refund, it is the owner’s own decision. However, you will only receive from the owner minus our commissions (which will be decided on a case by case basis), in any case, we do not provide as a Booking Intermediary Service Provider any refunds. We personally visit these properties once a year to see the conditions and facilities and if it should be marketed with our rentals: we promote properties that we believe have good standards. Saying this however, does not give you any grounds to make any claims in case in your opinion you think the house is not in any good standards to market/promote/let. Please kindly note that most beach villa properties have some difficulties in maintenance due to Sea Breeze, Salt, Corrosions and wind, and Monsoon rains etc. These weather conditions make it difficult to maintain, even though every 3 to 6 months owners make a great effort to live up to the images and their claims.  Some aspects of the property may have changed by the time you come to make your booking, for example, items of furniture may have been removed by the owner. We cannot accept any liability if this situation should arise.

We promise to use reasonable skill and care in making your booking and selecting the property owners and hotels we work with.

SPECIAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR SOME VILLAS IN SRI LANKA

THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS BELOW ARE ONLY APPLICABLE FOR CERTAIN VILLAS IN SRI LANKA. DURING THE BOOKING PROCESS WE WILL COMMUNICATE TO WHICH PROPERTIES THEY APPLY TO.

All bookings to Sri Lanka Villas are subject to this site’s Booking Terms and Conditions. Villa in Sri Lanka website is a dedicated showcase page of our main website “Paragon Luxury Villas”. Sri Lankan Villa holidays will be booked and paid for directly through Paragon Luxury Villas LTD (PLV).

Please read the following Terms and Conditions before proceeding to the villa booking form (which will be sent to you when confirming the holiday)

Representative Services

Please note we either personally or by our representative services are available for your services in Sri Lanka. Therefore, you will be met on arrival at the airport by our driver/guides if you have asked from us the transfers; otherwise, you will be welcomed by the Villa/Beach house owners or Managers/Staff. Please ensure that you refer to your itinerary/Holiday confirmation/emails, which will provide the appropriate contact details, should you need assistance whilst on holiday.

Travel Arrangements

Do not make irreversible flight or travel arrangements until you have received a final confirmation of your booking. Or always book a Travel Insurance that covers any cancellations.

Why don’t you give out property addresses? 

Most properties are privately owned homes and not all owners would like us to reveal detailed information about their property for safety reasons, so we do not publicise the exact address details of any of our properties. What we do show is the nearest town or region so that you can start making plans about travel arrangements and chasing out amazing things to do close by. Once a booking is confirmed by us, we will send you the full street address. But it is probably best to wait until then before committing to any flight or travel arrangements.

Why is the name different to the property’s real name (e.g. properties have given numbers) ? 

As mentioned above, for safety, confidential and easy identification reference reasons, to keep the property’s address private we have to change the name as well. We try to choose names that reflect the property’s history, character and setting, so that you can still get a good idea of its style and history or give a property reference number and happy give more insight about the property. Once we have confirmed your booking, we will send you the property’s real name and full address. The person who makes the booking accepts these conditions on behalf of all members of the party and is responsible for all payments due from the party. Booking services with the company are currently only available to persons who are at least 18 years old. By submitting a Booking Form, you warrant and confirm to us that you have read these Terms & Conditions and agree to comply with them.

The www.villainsrilanka.co.uk website is a showcase page of its main website, Paragon Luxury Villas, owned and operated by Paragon Luxury Villas LTD. Therefore, your contract is with Paragon Luxury Villas LTD. We will arrange to provide you with the various services that form part of the villa holiday you book with us. Bookings made by email and or telephone will stay firm, provided we receive the amount due (deposit or full) within 5 working days after confirming the holiday.

The following terms and conditions (“Booking Conditions”) form the basis of your contract with Paragon Luxury Villas LTD.  Please read them carefully as they set out our respective rights and obligations. By asking us to confirm your booking, we are entitled to assume that you have had the opportunity to read and have read these terms and conditions and agree to them.

In these booking conditions, “you” and “your” means all persons named on the booking (including anyone who is added or substituted at a later date) or any of them, as the context requires and “lead name” means the person who makes the booking.  “PLV” “We”, “us” and “our”, mean Paragon Luxury Villas LTD.
