Updated Sept. 17, 2021: Please note that we have a cancellation fee (50%) for reservations that are cancelled less than two months prior to arrival. Many people want to stay at Carmabi and we see an unusual amount of last minute cancellations recently. When space is reserved but people do not show up, others could have used that space and therefore last-minute cancellations make for a less effective use of the Carmabi facilities which is undesirable.
Furthermore, you’ll be asked (kindly) for a deposit for the beepers that open the automatic gate (NAF 100) and the keys you receive (NAF 150) as many before you have taken these with them back home…..
If you plan to send or ship materials over to Carmabi, please read the F.A.Q. section (item 3)…….
