The Answers

  1. How do I make a booking?

    Our website is designed to help you make your reservation as quickly and easily as possible.
    First complete the Accommodation Search, giving us details of how many people are travelling, together with where and when you want to travel. The next page you'll see will be your "Search Results", reconfirming the details of your search and showing a list of properties matching your enquiry. To read more about any particular hotel or apartment, simply click on the "info" link. When you've made your selection, click on the "Book Now" button to confirm your booking.

    • Booking Stage 1 - Your Details Once you've checked that the details of your booking request are correct, then enter your name, address and contact information - ensuring that all boxes marked with an asterisk are completed.
    • Booking Stage 2 - Your Booking On this page we ask you to give us the names of all passengers travelling, any special requests you may have.
    • Booking Stage 3 - Payment Reconfirms the details of your booking and the total cost before continuing to our secure Payment Details page.
    • Booking Stage 4 - Payment Details Once you have completed your credit card details and payment has been authorised, you will receive an automatic email confirmation and hotel voucher. Please make sure you keep this somewhere safe - you will need it to present to the hotel on arrival.

  2. What's included in the price?

    Prices shown are per room (or apartment) per night, showing the board basis applicable - room only, self catering, bed and breakfast, half board, all inclusive etc.
    On the Search Results page and throughout the booking stages, the amount quoted is the total booking cost - including accommodation and taxes, and meals as shown. That way you know exactly what the price is - and there are no hidden extras.

  3. How do I know my booking is confirmed?

    Once your booking is confirmed, your booking reference number will be displayed on screen. After payment has been processed, we will send you an email confirmation showing your unique booking reference number and amount paid.
    At the same time, you will receive your Alturabeds.com hotel voucher which you should print out and keep somewhere safe with your travel documents - you'll need this to present at the hotel on arrival.

  4. What happens if I lose any of my documents?

    Phone our head office in Palma during working hours (08:00 - 20:00 local time) giving them your name and arrival date at the hotel, and they will be able to trace your booking and send through a copy of the confirmation and hotel voucher.

  5. How can I make changes to my booking?

    Simply call our head office in Palma during working hours (08:00 - 20:00 local time) giving them booking reference number (or your name and arrival date at the hotel) and they will be able to assist in making any changes.
    Before any changes are made, they will let you know if there are any charges or changes in price of your booking.

  6. When is a child not a child?

    We do ask that you let us know the age of everybody travelling with you under the age of 18 years. Normally child prices apply to children up to and including 12 years of age in hotels, and up to and including 16 years of age in apartments. However, reductions do vary according to hotel and country. In the USA for example, reductions may even apply for those under the age of 18 so long as they are sharing with two adult, full fare paying passengers.
    Please be sure to fill in all the correct ages (at time of travel) of all passengers under the age of 18 years to ensure any reduced child prices are included in your quotation.

    When you access the server, a status bar will appear on the lower part of your screen, showing either a padlock or a key, showing you that you are operating within a secure connection.

    Your accommodation will be held until 18:00 (6 pm) on your arrival day. If you expect to be later than that, please give us your flight details and anticipated arrival time in the "Special Requests" box when making your booking.
    If you don't have your flight details at the time of making the booking, or if they change in any way, then you should let us know either by phone or email in order that we can advise the hotelier accordingly.
