When and how is the deposit collected?

• Timing: The deposit is required on arrival.
• Method: It is collected by credit card.
• Cards accepted on‑site: Visa and Mastercard are accepted for payments at the property.

Tip: Using the same card for your stay and deposit can make it easier to track the charge and refund on your statement.

When will I get my deposit back?

After check‑out, the suite is reviewed to confirm it’s in good condition. This typically covers a basic assessment of the space, fixtures, and furnishings to ensure there’s no damage. This is a common hospitality practice that helps maintain consistent quality for every guest.

Following house guidelines supports a seamless refund. At Diamante:

• Parties/events are not allowed.
