For British holidaymakers tired of gambling with the weather, a luxury Cypriot resort is offering a deal that seems almost too good to be true. The Amara Hotel in Limassol has introduced a pioneering 'Sunshine Guarantee' for its all-inclusive package, promising guests compensation if the sun fails to shine.
The guarantee is refreshingly straightforward. If continuous rain lasts for more than three consecutive hours between 10 am and 6 pm on any day of a guest's stay, the hotel will provide a voucher for a complimentary night's stay. This voucher can be redeemed for a future booking within the next two years, effectively ensuring your next holiday is on the house if the weather disappoints.
How the Guarantee Works
The process is designed to be transparent and hassle-free for guests:
- Official Verification: The hotel uses data from the official Cyprus Meteorological Service, removing any ambiguity about rainfall measurements.
- Simple Claim Process: Guests simply need to notify the hotel's guest relations team on the day of the rainfall event.
- Future Holiday Reward: The compensation comes in the form of a voucher valid for a free one-night all-inclusive stay, applicable for a future booking.
A Game-Changer for Package Holidays
This bold move by the Amara Hotel, part of the Sevaergia group, signals a significant shift in the competitive package holiday market. It directly addresses the number one anxiety for UK travellers booking a summer break: unpredictable weather.
Nicos Theodoulou, Managing Director of Sevaergia, stated the guarantee is a testament to their confidence in Cyprus's renowned climate. 'We want our guests to book with absolute peace of mind,' he said. 'While Cyprus enjoys over 320 sunny days a year, this guarantee is our commitment to ensuring a perfect holiday, whatever the forecast.'
The offer is currently available for bookings made directly with the hotel for stays completed by the end of October. This innovative approach is likely to put pressure on other holiday providers in the Mediterranean to consider similar customer-focused guarantees, potentially changing how we book holidays forever.
