Anti-Tobacco Law – Smoke-Free Spaces in Colombia
Smoking is prohibited inside the hotel rooms (law 1335/09, Ministry of Social Protection). In Colombia there is legislation on spaces free of cigarette or tobacco smoke due to its impact on the health of other people. It is for this reason that in the closed or indoor spaces of the hotel, smoking is not allowed. For this, the hotel has designated outdoor spaces for smokers. Our rooms are considered closed spaces; therefore, smoking is not allowed. The guest who fails to comply with this consideration, must pay the value of one (1) night of lodging, at the contracted rate, plus VAT, corresponding to the cleaning, disinfection and deodorization of the room and elements contained in it, understood as: sheets, pillows, towels, cushions, etc.
Tipping Policy – Tip Warning
At Isla del Encanto we suggest to our consumers a tip corresponding to 10% of the value of the bill, which may be accepted, rejected or modified, according to their assessment of the service provided. When requesting your account, tell the person who attends you whether or not you want said amount to be included in the bill, or indicate the amount that you want to give as a tip. If you have any problem with the collection of the tip, contact the hotline of the Superintendency of Industry and Commerce, so that your complaint can be filed, at the telephone numbers (1) 5920400 (Bogotá) and 01 8000 910165 (national toll-free line).
