Hotel Treats issues multipurpose vouchers that, at the time of purchase by the Client, entitle the Beneficiary to redeem them for any experience or service published on the Website. The Beneficiary can choose to enjoy the experience indicated on the voucher or exchange it for any other experience offered on the Website. If the Beneficiary chooses to enjoy an experience that has a lower value than the one indicated on the voucher, the Beneficiary can retain the remaining balance in their wallet for future purchases on the Website until funds expire as specified in paragraph 6 of these Terms & Conditions. If the Beneficiary chooses to enjoy another experience that has a higher value, they will be able to pay in the difference.

Vouchers issued with immediate reservation also have a multipurpose nature and the Client and/or Beneficiary can exchange them for any other experience offered on the Website provided they offer a minimum 48 hours cancelation notice to the Service Provider.

Exceptions: The vouchers issued for experiences at the following hotels are issued as single-use vouchers, and therefore, the Beneficiary cannot exchange them for any other experience: Sheraton Mallorca Arabella Golf Hotel, The St. Regis Mardavall Mallorca Resort, Castillo Hotel Son Vida, a Luxury Collection Hotel Mallorca, Gecko Hotel & Beach Club, and all Hospes Hotels properties.

7. Expiration of Vouchers

Most of the Vouchers sold on this Website have a one-year validity. However, some of the Vouchers might have different validity. The Website will always indicate the validity of each Voucher on the product page. By proceeding with the purchase, the Client confirms full acceptance of the validity of the Voucher purchased. After the Voucher reaches its expiration date, it can no longer be used.

After a Voucher has expired, it is no longer valid, and all transaction attempts will be declined. Any unused value of the Voucher expires on the expiration date and can no longer be used to purchase any experiences on the Website.

8. Availability of Experiences

All Vouchers sold on this Website are subject to availability. Bookings are recommended to be made at least 2 weeks in advance of the preferred date.

Please be advised that some experiences display availability dates on the Website. These dates are guidelines only and are subject to change.

All the experiences are subject to removal from the Website at any time without notice.

In the event that a Client or Beneficiary has sought to use the Voucher for the experience that has been removed from the Website and the Service Provider is no longer honoring bookings or the experience is otherwise no longer available, they will be offered a choice of remedy, such as credit for the value of the voucher (which will be given to the Beneficiary of the voucher), or an alternative experience of the same value (if available).
