The above deposit is required to hold your spot for your Club Med accommodations and air from Miami to San Salvador. $390 of that deposit is for the airfare and is non-refundable, so if you think you may need to cancel for any reason, you need to buy Travel Insurance.

A final payment to Club Med is due December 16, 2019. The same payment form directly to Club Med will be used. So if you did not pay the full balance in October, you just pay the remaining balance.
Cancellation Policy
If you make the deposit and cancel before 120 days out, you can get your deposit back; however, there is a $100 cancellation fee, plus the airfare portion of $390 will not be refundable. No refunds after 120 days out from the vacation; which is September 25, 2019. If you think you might need to cancel after that, you should purchase TRAVEL INSURANCE to cover your "cancel for any reason". This option must be purchased before 21 days after deposit is made.

Airfare to Miami Not Included
You are responsible for getting your own airfare from your home town to Miami International (MIA). The flight from Miami to San Salvador Island is included in your price. Hotel transfers to/from the San Salvador airport are included in your price.
The flight from Miami to San Salvador Island is $390 (included in your price) and is on Bahamasair.
