At Patel Travel, our goal is to ensure your travel experience is not only seamless but also filled with unforgettable moments. Below you’ll find essential information to help you plan your trip effectively.
Passport
For British and Irish passport holders, we can provide specific guidance. If your passport has endorsements or if you hold passports from other countries, please check with the relevant embassy for accurate information. Ensure your passport remains valid for at least 6 months beyond your return date.
Visas
Clients are responsible for obtaining visas, and requirements can vary. We recommend contacting the respective embassy well in advance for the latest information.
Health
Consult your doctor before departure for recommended vaccinations and health advice.
Safety
Your safety is our priority. We adhere to Foreign Office guidelines. While our featured destinations may have different political and social conditions, we advise vigilance and discretion, particularly regarding personal belongings and attire. For the latest travel advice, visit the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office website, which provides country-specific information to help you prepare for your journey.
Choosing your holiday
Have questions about a destination’s suitability? Contact us for assistance. Additional information can be gathered from libraries, tourist offices, and online resources.
Hotel standards
Hotel standards can vary. Carefully read hotel descriptions to understand what to expect — unless specified otherwise, accommodation is in standard rooms.
Room specifications
Rooms for three or four guests may have existing beds or extra beds, which can be cosy.
Views
Rooms described as having specific views (e.g. sea, pool, city) may have partial views due to natural obstructions like trees or buildings.
Dress code
While most hotels have a relaxed dress code, some guidelines apply. Casual elegance is typically expected in resorts, while city hotels may require more formal attire in common areas during the evening.
Check-in & check-out
Hotel rooms are generally available after 3pm on the day of check-in and should be vacated by 11am to 12 noon on the departure day. Late check-in or check-out may be possible for an additional fee.
Special requests
Inform us of any special requests during booking. While we’ll pass them on to hotels and airlines, we can’t guarantee fulfilment.
Travel insurance
We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance — ask us about coverage options and prices.
Behaviour and conduct
Travellers are responsible for their behaviour and any damage to property. Disruptive or inappropriate conduct may result in termination of arrangements.
Ticket dispatch and travel documents
Tickets are dispatched typically seven days before departure. Ensure you check your flight timings on your tickets carefully.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or require further assistance. Your safety, satisfaction, and peace of mind are our utmost priorities at Patel Travel.
