Booking Policy
No reservation will be accepted or guaranteed, unless a valid credit card number, cardholders name and card expiry date are supplied at the time of reservation.
Please note to protect your credit card identity all online credit card payments are processed by Direct Payment Solutions (DPS).
This means that when booking online, the full cost of the stay is deducted immediately by DPS on behalf of Oceans Resort at the time of making the booking.

If the booking request is subsequently declined the authorisation will be released after the same 5 – 7 day period.
