Product Descriptions

Descriptions on this website are based on current information provided by hotels and suppliers. Any facilities shown as included are subject to change by the supplier at any time. The standard of accommodation and services are based on various factors and are generally accepted as indicative of a certain rating, however, we are not liable for the standard or rating of that accommodation or service. Hotel ratings are those suggested by industry local authorities or our representative and may vary from Tourist Office ratings.

Last-Minute Bookings (within 21 days of departure) and Clients that require an personalised itinerary (a immediate $100 deposit per booking for accommodation requests*)

In requesting a last minute booking, we may be required to work weekends and evenings and make international calls to ensure we can secure your booking as soon as possible, we will be required to request a $100 deposit at the time of your request, this is to ensure you request is legitimate and the booking will be fulfilled. Unfortunately, we have found in the past that a number of customers would take information of the hotels or apartments that has been booked for them and book directly. As we are a travel agency, not a government-run tourist board, our income is based on the commission we receive for bookings made through our company.

As Croatian Specialists we enjoy helping our clients and taking the time to plan and create an amazing itinerary for you. As we are specialists we also go beyond planning you itinerary to give you advice on where to go, where to eat, what to see and how long you might like to stay in each area based on your specific interests. We are always open to researching other things our clients may want to include in their holiday and we really enjoy what we do. We learn something new from every client and we absolutely love helping you plan your visit to beautiful Croatia! However, in an effort to limit the amount of time we spent dealing with clients who then chose not to book through us, we have established a policy for a small immediate deposit so we know that your request is genuine. If we cannot find suitable accommodation based on your stated requirements, we will refund the $100 in full. We hope you understand as we’re sure that you, too, wish to be paid for the work that you do.

To our genuine clients based in areas other than Australia, we hope that you too understand that we require a small up front deposit of $100 to ensure your booking is genuine and that our information and hard work is not being used for personal gain by going elsewhere. We have clients from regions such as New Zealand, Canada, the US, the UK and many parts of Europe and we really enjoy working with overseas clients who genuinely want to use our services.

All bookings made 21 days or less before the first date of the first segment or made by overseas clients require an immediate deposit of $50 per booking in order for the request to be generated and payment in full must be made within 2 business days of confirmation, this is due to the fact that we cannot in good faith ask the supplier to hold the reservations if you do not pay us. The $100 generation fee will be deducted from the final payment when you finalise your booking. If the products you request are not available and we cannot offer you a similar product, we will refund your $50. The $50 generation fee will not be refunded if you choose not to finalise the booking for any reason other than non-availability of your requested products; or, if you just change your mind.

Bookings made 7 days or less before the first date of the first segment require, in addition to the above, payment in full immediately and may also incur an additional $100 booking fee in addition to the immediate deposit. This booking fee is in addition to your initial booking fee and is not deducted from the total upon final payment. Certain products may incur late booking fees more than 7 days before departure or may incur a higher fee. This will be advised at the time your booking is made.

Prices (all displayed in AUD$)

All prices are subject to change without notice. “From” prices quoted are the lowest available as per industry standard, usually adult twin-share, per person for tours and cruises, or per room per night, based on twin-share for accommodation. Experience Croatia & More’ prices are usually inclusive of Breakfast for Hotel Accommodation, exclusive of breakfast for Apartment Accommodation and usually Inclusive of Half Board Basis for Tours and Cruises, although please refer to itinerary and voucher for confirmation of which meals are inclusive and are available for the specified travel dates only. “From” prices quoted do not include credit card merchant fee charges put out by the bank as these may vary depending on the payment method chosen. All prices are displayed in AUD$. Prices are inclusive of taxes and charges that apply, but they do not include any fees that may be imposed directly by third parties. If we have to change any part of your booking for reasons beyond our control, eg, if a hotelier overbooks hotel accommodation, we will notify you as soon as possible.

Single supplements apply to most products for solo travellers, though we do endeavour to keep those as low as possible by not adding commission. We believe that if you require single supplement that you should not be penalised just because you’re travelling on your own, so we do the best we can to keep your costs reasonable.

Consumer Claims

In the unlikely event you might experience a problem, you should immediately contact the company responsible for the provision of that service (transfer/hotel/tour etc) whose phone number will be printed on your voucher. If you are not satisfied with their response and should you wish to make a claim, your claim should be made in writing to us or to the Travel Agent who made your booking no later than 30 days after the event. Experience Croatia & More cannot be held responsible for delays or rejection of claims by principals if your claim is not made promptly.

Unused Services

Experience Croatia & More does not authorise the employees of any overseas supplier to promise refunds to clients.

Extra Service
Experience Croatia & More and associated representatives overseas will not accept responsibility nor approve requests to pay for additional charges for extra services requested or made by clients and not included in the basic prices stated on this website. It is your responsibility to settle these charges, if any, before departure including parking fines or parking fees incurred when a rental vehicle is used, or any mini bar used or additional meals requested.

In exchange for these guarantees, no refund will be made if costs are reduced. The entire range of products featured is offered at the selling prices shown on each page but prices printed do not imply that similar product may or may not be available at a lower price if obtained direct. However, payments sent overseas by travellers are excluded from the protection provided by Travel Agent Licensing and membership of the Travel Compensation Fund. Itineraries are subject to alteration if airline schedules are amended, a tour is cancelled by the operator for any reason, or other conditions require it. If, in the unlikely event that we have to cancel your booking because of insufficient numbers booked or because of events outside our control we will, if we are able to, offer you an alternative tour or arrangements of a similar standard. If the alternative is not suitable for you we will endeavour to refund in full any monies already paid to us for that particular tour or arrangement once refunded to us by the supplier/provider.

Hotel Information

Experience Croatia & More makes every effort to ensure accuracy in hotel information and descriptions, but we are also reliant on the suppliers and hotels giving us accurate data. Since hotels are constantly changing facilities and services, we cannot be liable for any errors or omissions herein or for any disruption caused by hotel or apartment renovations.
