ROOM CONFIGURATIONS

Room configurations are outlined in your individual reservation purchase. Although we endeavor to meet your requests when placing you with a fellow guest, group diversity does not always accommodate for this. Due to limited availability, room configurations are set prior to your arrival on a first-come, first-served basis. In the event that you book with a friend for shared accommodations, you will be guaranteed a room with that person if there is still a room available. If your friend cancels, we will do our best to pair you with a compatible roommate or offer you the choice to upgrade to a single room. In the event that you have requested shared accommodations with one of our other guests, we will attempt to pair you up with a compatible roommate. Availability depends on time of booking, accuracy of retreat applications, and demand from other interested parties. If you plan to book shared room accommodations, it is best to book and pay for both parties at time of booking to ensure you are rooming with your designated friend/guest. To ensure a smooth reservation, please contact us at info@saltybarbells.com to confirm that we have received both parties’ applications and deposits.

RETREAT ITINERARY AND INCLUSIONS

All retreats package inclusions (i.e., activities, accommodations, etc.) are unique for each individual retreat and location, and these are outlined on each retreat’s information page. Please read and approve before booking your retreat.

Unless explicitly indicated otherwise, included transportation to or from the airport will only be included when travelers are arriving/departing from the airport on the first and last scheduled day of the retreat to the airport advertised by Salty Retreats. Travelers seeking to come to a location early or stay late are responsible for their own transportation to/from the accommodation location.

TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS AND CONDITIONS

Please ensure that you have all the relevant travel documentation for Mauritius and that you arrive at the airport on time. Salty Retreats is not responsible if you lack the required documentation for your flight or for entry into another country (valid passport for the entire duration of the trip and return travel, visa, entry fee, etc.). Salty Retreats cannot accept responsibility for delay or cancellation of any flights, train, buses or other forms of transport.

ADDITIONAL POLICIES

Your retreat accommodations include lodging in villas, resorts, or other fine private establishments. All guests are required to follow the applicable location’s policies. These may include noise restriction, public access, care of property, privacy, consideration of other resort guests, and more. You will be made aware of these policies prior to or upon your arrival.

PARTICIPATION IN ACTIVITIES

Each Salty Retreats (Salty Barbells | Salty Serenity) will include a multitude of activities that are prepaid and reserved for our participants. This may include yoga, fitness classes, CrossFit, coaching sessions, water-sports, hikes, and many other activities and attractions. All guests are encouraged to attend all included activities, but this is not a requirement. However, there are no refunds in the event that a guest declines to participate in any given activity.

Furthermore, Salty Retreats staff reserve the right to deny guests participation in portions/activities of a retreat that, in their sole discretion, is deemed too physically demanding, or they otherwise feel the experience of the group would be hindered (e.g. due to a physical deficiency, injury, medical issue, weight issue, etc.). In such cases, Salty Retreats shall make good faith efforts to provide alternative activities of comparable monetary value whenever possible, but under no circumstances shall any refund be provided to guests prohibited from participating under this section.

RESPONSIBILITY OF VALUABLES

Any injuries or medical conditions are completely your sole responsibility.
