Terms and conditions
For bookings made directly with Tentalaria Apartments. Version of 21 October 2026.
1. Who we are
Tentalaria Apartments are rented out by PFP Invest Winterswijk B.V. ("we"), Jan Tooropstraat 29, 7103 AA Winterswijk, the Netherlands; Dutch trade register (KVK) 69878358; VAT NL858049119B01; email booking@tentalariacuracao.com; phone +31 6 3418 5704. Complaints go to the same postal or email address.
2. These terms
These terms apply to every booking made directly with us: on this website, after an inquiry, or by email or phone. They do not apply to bookings through Airbnb, Booking.com or Vrbo, which follow those platforms' terms. Together with the details you see before you pay (apartment, dates, guests, price, house rules and cancellation policy) they form our agreement with you. The version on this page when you book applies to your booking. The terms are in English. You can save or print this page; we also send it on request.
3. How booking works
You choose an apartment, your dates and the number of guests, and fill in your details. Then you make the first payment by card on the payment page, within 30 minutes. Before you pay you see the total price, the house rules and the cancellation policy. Your booking is final once the first payment succeeds; we then show a confirmation and email it to you, with a link to your guest portal, where your booking stays available. A question sent with "Send inquiry" is not a booking: the dates stay open until you book and pay.
4. The stay
The apartments are at Kaya Tentalaria 8, Jan Thiel, Curaçao. A and B sleep up to 6 guests, C and D up to 8; each apartment's page describes what it offers. The minimum stay is 6 nights. Check-in is from 15:00 to 23:00, later by arrangement with Chrissi's Curaçao; check-out is by 10:00. Bed linen and towels are provided. Chrissi's Curaçao welcomes you, is your contact during your stay and does the cleaning on our behalf. About a week before you arrive we send you the check-in details.
5. Price
Prices are in euros. The total you see before you pay includes the rent, the cleaning fee of €100 per stay, €25 per night for each guest beyond 6 (C and D only) and Curaçao's 7% turnover tax on lodging. [Electricity: to be added once the rule is set.] There are no other compulsory costs, and there is no charge for paying by card. Once you have booked, your price does not change.
6. Payment
You pay 50% of the total when you book. The other 50% is charged automatically to the same card 30 days before your arrival.
If the second payment fails, we send you a link to pay with another card. If it is still unpaid 7 days later, we may cancel the booking; we then keep the first payment and you owe nothing more.
By booking, you allow us to charge the card you pay with for the second 50% of the total, 30 days before arrival, and to place the hold described in section 7. We keep this agreement with your booking; the amounts and dates are in your confirmation email.
7. Deposit
The day before check-out we place a hold of €250 on your card. A hold is not a charge: the amount stays on your card. If nothing is damaged or missing, we release it; otherwise the hold lapses by itself within 7 days of being placed, and your bank may take a few days more to show this. If something is damaged or missing, we first send you photos and an itemised estimate, then take that amount, up to €250, from the hold; we invoice higher costs separately.
8. If you cancel
You can cancel free of charge up to 30 days before your arrival date: we refund everything you paid, to the card you paid with, within 14 days. If you cancel later, do not arrive or leave early, you pay the full price and we refund nothing. Please cancel by email to booking@tentalariacuracao.com; what counts is when your email reaches us, in Curaçao time. We recommend travel insurance that covers cancellation.
9. No right of withdrawal
A booking of accommodation for fixed dates has no 14-day right of withdrawal (cooling-off period) under EU and Dutch consumer law (article 16(l) of Directive 2011/83/EU; article 6:230p(e) of the Dutch Civil Code). Your booking is binding once confirmed; you can cancel as set out in section 8.
10. If we cancel
We cancel only if the apartment cannot be used. We then refund everything you paid within 14 days or, if you prefer, offer you an equal alternative. If the cause lies with us, we also compensate you as Dutch law provides.
11. House rules
The main guest must be at least 25 years old. At most 6 guests in A and B and 8 in C and D, and no more than booked; visitors only with our permission. No smoking inside the apartment, no pets, no parties or events. Quiet hours are from 22:00 to 08:00: the garden and pool are shared with three other apartments. The pool has no lifeguard and no fence: children must be supervised there at all times. No glass at the pool. If guests seriously or repeatedly break these rules after a warning, or put people or the property at risk, we may end the stay without a refund.
12. Liability
You are responsible for damage caused during your stay by you, your group or your visitors, beyond normal wear. We are liable as Dutch law provides. We are not liable for loss of or damage to your belongings unless we, or people we engage such as Chrissi's Curaçao, are responsible, or it is caused by a defect of the apartment for which the law makes us liable. Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or injury caused by our fault, or for intent or gross negligence.
13. Complaints
If something is wrong during your stay, tell Chrissi's Curaçao right away, so they can fix it. Afterwards, write to booking@tentalariacuracao.com; we reply within 14 days.
14. Personal data
How we handle your personal data is described in our privacy policy.
15. Law
Dutch law applies. A dispute goes to the court that has jurisdiction by law.
