A deposit of $500 is due to secure your space in the retreat. You may pay with a credit card using PayPal. Please contact us first to confirm availability of accommodations before making the deposit. This deposit is non-refundable. If an unforeseen event arises, we will try our best to refund your deposit if we are able to fill your space.

 

For the remainder of the payment, you can either pay in cash upon arrival in either USD or MXN, or pay with a credit card via PayPal. For cash payments, there are reliable ATMs at the Cancun airport and we can also direct you to reliable ones in Tulum. Please note, if you choose to use PayPal, a 3% service fee will be added to your invoice. We are not able to accept physical credit cards in Tulum.

 

If you choose to participate in optional activities, payment will need to be made in cash once in Tulum.

 

Cancellation Policy:

Cancellations are refundable minus deposit, if made over 45 days before retreat starts. Cancellations made within 45 days or less of arrival are non-refundable in their totality. However, in case of emergency, we will do our best to apply your investment towards a future retreat or training. If cancellation is necessary due to natural disaster, the amount invested can't be refunded, but can be applied towards any of our retreats taking place within the following 365 days after the cancelation date. There can be no refunds or pro-rates if you leave the retreat early under any circumstances.

Recommendations for your visit:

​

• Soliman Bay is a secluded residential beach in Tulum, which makes it very safe, however don't leave your belongings unattended when you are on the beach. There is a single safety box available for all members of the retreat, big enough just to keep the most important valuables guarded as passports and money, so we recommend not to bring valuable jewelry or any other valuable possessions that are not absolutely necessary.

• There is wifi at the villa, but we encourage you to use this retreat also as a tech-detox. From time to time signal can get slow or interrupted according to weather conditions and service providers.

• Staff members and locals on their majority speak English and would also be happy to help you practice your Spanish.

• Some establishments are cash only or wifi conditions eventually may not allow them to take credit cards. Our recommendation is to exchange some of your money into Mexican pesos before you depart your country or at your arrival. Once in México you'll find the best rates at the exchange houses outside the airport. You will also find that many places would accept the US dollar but don't expect a good rate in exchange. ATM's in the airport or inside the local supermarket in Tulum town would be more recommended to withdraw some money as those in the Hotel strip are not reliable.​ In terms of spending money, we’d recommend allotting $50 a day, or perhaps a bit more if you plan to shop.

• The villa is provided with bottled water since tab water is best not to drink.

• The local guides are committed to protect the environment and they will require you to use organic or biodegradable sunscreen and sunblock. Mosquitos in the beach can be annoying around sunrise and sunset and for this matter we highly recommend to bring insect repellent with you.

• Hat, snickers, sunglasses, pareo, sandals, light pants and light long sleeve tops are always a good idea to bring. It will be summer in Tulum this time of the year, weather tend to be sunny and hot, with occasional showers, but some weeks can there be plenty of rain. Hopefully not the week of this retreat.
