How to book / quotes and reservations
Lorosa Coast acts as an agent on behalf of hotels, resorts, property owners and property managers who provide accommodation services. We do not own or manage properties. The majority of our properties are privately managed and check in is not through hotel reception but through the offsite property manager which may require you to visit their office for registration and key collection. Please keep this in mind if you are arriving by airport coach transfer as you may need additional transport to the accommodation.

Quotes and reservations are subject to availability and actual pricing at the time of booking. Quotes are valid for 48 hours however some prices are dynamic and change daily.

Privately Managed Apartments can be taken out of service at any time for various reasons such as, but not limited to; the Apartment being sold, the owners discretion, damage to the Apartment and emergency or planned maintenance. If this occurs, the Lorosa Coast consultants will do everything possible to assist with other options, however it may not be possible to match the exact Apartment type or price.
Children and Infants
In most cases, children’s prices for accommodation featured on this site refer to children occupying the same room/unit with at least two adults and using existing bedding. Additional charges will apply if extra beds or linen (including rollaways, sofa beds or cots) are required. Prices for any other combination of children and adults should be obtained from your travel consultant. The definition of a 'child' or 'ínfant' is determined by the property/owner and ages may vary.
Accommodation
Whilst care is taken to ensure that the description of facilities and services of the Resorts/Complexes are accurate, these are continually being changed, upgraded, and on occasion taken out of service. Lorosa Coast can not be held liable if an Apartment or Holiday House is taken out of service for any reason including but not limited to being sold, changing property managers or undergoing maintenance. If this should occur, our consultants will do everything possible to assist with other options at the earliest possible opportunity. A property manager reserves the right to move a booking from one apartment to another of similar quality and facilities should the need arise due to any of the above reasons. Lorosa Coast may not be advised of apartment number changes and cannot be held liable if a property manager moves a booking to another apartment.
If any feature/facility is essential for the guest in choosing a particular property, it is advisable that the guest checks this with their travel consultant at the time of booking. Lorosa Coast cannot be held liable for omissions or errors, whether temporary or permanent of a property’s facilities and services. Property room photos may not be specific to the actual room allocated. Photos are indicative only. Accommodation facilities listed may not apply to all room types.
If a customer arrives at the property and does not like the accommodation that he/she has chosen, he/she will be liable for the full balance owed, unless it can be proven without a reasonable doubt that he/she did not get what was promised on the Confirmation Form or what was depicted on the website, with consideration to the following:-
The majority of properties are strata titled. This means that each apartment within the various complexes is owned by a different person. Because of this, the furnishings in each apartment can vary. On our website we have displayed photos of typical apartments. These are neither the best apartments, nor the worst. The photos are used as a guide only, and neither Lorosa Coast or the property manager can be held responsible if a particular apartment does not look exactly like the photos on our websites.
As strata titled apartments, they are subject to sale and property management changes without notice. Although Lorosa Coast will endeavour to move an existing booking should this occur, there may be times when this is not possible. Should the property manager advise that the booking cannot be honoured and Lorosa Coast can not provide an alternative apartment of the same standard or provide an alternative property that is acceptable to the guests, we will provide a full refund for the accommodation cost. Lorosa Coast will not be liable for the inconvenience or loss of any money for flights, car hire or incidentals should accommodation need to be cancelled.
The customer agrees that the accommodation is booked only for the number of people actually stated on the Confirmation. Any additional people will be charged for at the applicable property nightly rate.
Weather
Please review the local weather average for your trip dates. Far North Queensland is known for its wet season, cyclone season and stinger season. These events are rare and the area is still magnificent to visit throughout the year, however Lorosa Coast will not be responsible for financial loss due to cancelled or delayed travel caused by weather events and accommodation, tour and transfer balances will remain your responsibility. Please consider a domestic travel insurance policy that includes these events.
