6. What about a hotel security/damage deposit?
Most hotels require a refundable deposit for each room and is taken at check-in. The deposit range is from $20 - $100 per person. This is not included in your package. Some hotels require cash deposit, while others will take a credit card imprint. The bottom line is don't trash your room!

11. How much spending money do I need?
While everybody's spending habits are different, our experience has shown, that on average, most students need approximately $350 for food and activities for the week. You will save money by pre-purchasing our "Xtreme" Party Package (for International Destinations Only) By pre-purchasing, you wont have to pay $20-$40 per night for the nightclubs/evening events.

12. Should I take cash or travelers' checks?
We suggest a combination of both. While you will need some cash, for security reasons keep the bulk of your spending money as travelers' checks.

As soon as you clear Customs, our on-site staff will direct you to the proper transfer buses where you will then be taken to "Orientation" where our reps will give you the run down on the week. What to do? Where to go? What not to do? Etc.

Changes may be accepted as long as our suppliers (hotel, airline, etc.) can accommodate the request. Sun Splash Tours cannot guarantee that your request can be accommodated, however we will make every effort on your behalf.
All changes are request only and must be sent as a written request to info@sunsplashtours.com for approval. A minimum of a $30 administrative fee, along with any other applicable charges will be applied. (Adding a passenger or upgrading a package is not considered a change).
Cancellations-once a reservation is paid in full your rights to a refund are limited. Cancellation must be sent by written notice via mail, email or by fax and will only be effective when Sun Splash Tours, Inc. is in receipt of such cancellation. It is the customer’s responsibility to confirm receipt of the cancellation. Cancellations received prior to the final payment due date will receive a full refund less a $100 non-refundable deposit, unless a scheduled air ticket with a different deposit schedule was used. In the case of a different deposit schedule, the new deposit will become non-refundable. Sun Splash Tours strongly advises the purchase of the Travel Protection Plan.
