To request a refund, email hello@tropicalfjord.com with the subject line Reservation Refund Request and include the name and email address used for registration.
Approved refunds will be returned to the original payment method. After the official booking period begins, the registration payment is non-refundable except where required by applicable law.
5. Project Status
Tropical Fjord Lodges is currently under development in Playa Cacao, Golfito, Costa Rica.
The project site is already owned, and restoration of the existing buildings and cacao plantation is underway.
