If you're planning a beach vacation along the Gulf Coast of Florida this summer, let our Open Beach Guarantee give you peace of mind. Under the Guarantee, if you book a qualifying hotel for travel between June 14 and July 31, 2010, you will be eligible for a full refund on your hotel stay if a government agency closes a beach within 20 miles of the property or declares it dangerous*.
We will notify you if there is a beach closure or health advisory near your hotel, so you can decide if you would like to request a refund.
