Dear Editor,
Thanks for your posting on the internet.
I own an Adventure Resort called Cabot Shores (www.cabotshores.com)
on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.
We have been honored and delighted to have a number NZ guests as well as others
all over the world. We were excited to receive a communication from Bali/and

a surprise planning to have vacation with his family (5 person) that's way he
asked me to prepare the reservation, flight, passport & fiscal etc. He also want
to pay 100% deposit in advance to any reservations I am looking for, not just
30-50% payment in advance. So there's no need to balance the remainder upon
their arrival. I also explained them this would be non-refundable funds when
they'll make any cancellation for doing 100% payment in advance. Before I do
some arrangement the reservation, I have some questions>here. This is about

arrival-departure date is 20th until 29th (9 consecutive nights). Do you.... |
So, that's it. Fortunately we
caught it and can appreciate your warning others.
In the meantime, please check out our site and send some guests from NZ.
Cheers,
Paul, owner Cabot Shores
