CHANGES TO THE CONTRACT BEFORE THE START OF THE PACKAGE TRAVEL
The traveler may transfer the package travel contract to another person who meets all applicable conditions of the contract. The transfer must be communicated in advance to BAHIA PRINCIPE HOTELS & RESORTS, in a durable medium, with reasonable notice of at least seven calendar days before the start of the package travel.

The organizer or, if applicable, the retailer will inform the transferor of the actual costs of the transfer.
The price of the package travel has been calculated based on exchange rates, transportation tariffs, fuel costs, and applicable taxes and charges in effect at the time of the program's publication or subsequent updates, as applicable. Any increase in these elements may lead to a revision of the final price of the package, strictly reflecting the changes in price. Price increases may be made up to 20 calendar days before the start of the package travel. Such modifications will be communicated to the traveler in a clear and understandable manner, with a justification for the increase.

If the traveler does not notify their decision within the indicated timeframe, it will be understood that they opt to cancel the contract without penalty.

BAHIA PRINCIPE HOTELS & RESORTS reserves the right to modify prices, itineraries, or services included in the stays or circuits listed in the programs at any time, due to possible cost variations or unforeseen circumstances.
When such causes occur before the confirmation of services, the traveler may withdraw their request without any penalty or accept the new price. The confirmation of the requested services, barring special circumstances, will generally be verified within the following approximate timeframes:
- 2 business days in Spain
- 4 business days in the Caribbean.

If any of the contracted and canceled services are subject to special economic conditions such as air freight, ship freight, special tariffs, hotels during local fairs, tickets for shows, etc., cancellation fees will apply as per the specific conditions.
- Optional insurance: This service is non-cancellable, meaning 100% of its total amount is due from the same day of its purchase.
2. Fees Based on the Timing of Cancellation:
- 5% of the total trip cost if the cancellation is made more than 10 days but less than 15 days before the start date of the trip:

EXECUTION OF THE PACKAGE TRAVEL

If, before the start of the package travel, BAHIA PRINCIPE HOTELS & RESORTS is required to substantially alter any major features of the travel services, fails to meet any special requirements, or proposes to increase the price of the trip by more than eight percent, the traveler may choose either to terminate the contract without penalty or to accept the proposed change. The traveler must communicate their decision to the retailer or, if applicable, to the organizer within three days of being notified of the change. If the traveler does not notify their decision within the indicated period, it will be understood that they opt for termination of the contract without penalty.
