Make Travel Matter
At Grown & Sexy, we embrace the philosophy of “take memories & leave only footprints.” We are committed to preserving the beauty and integrity of each destination we visit by minimizing our environmental impact and supporting local communities. We craft itineraries including dining at local restaurants, supporting local businesses, and hiring local talent alongside our own entertainers.
Grown & Sexy also supports underserved women in the Caribbean with our sundress donation drive. In the wake of Hurricane Dorian in 2019, we contributed over $10,000 in food and supplies to aid recovery efforts in the Bahamas.
As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived — that is to have succeeded.” At Grown & Sexy, we are dedicated to making a difference and leaving a positive impact wherever we go.
Due to the large size of this group trip, preparation, and vendor contracts for various private and exclusive events, there will be No Refunds issued for this trip. By making your reservation online and placing a deposit, you acknowledge and agree to our No Refund policy outlined in the booking terms and conditions. Money is non-transferable to another trip.
However, keep in mind that by purchasing trip cancellation coverage you forgo the unnecessary worries around what happens if an emergency occurs and you can’t make your trip. When you cancel for a covered reason, your money is refunded by the insurance company.
Once a payment is more than 3 business days past due, a late fee of $25 is imposed. If a reservation is more than 10 days past due and you have not called or emailed to get an approved payment plan by the resort, your reservation will be cancelled. Should your reservation be cancelled due to lack of payment and you want to re-activate down the road, it is possible the resort will not reinstate your reservation, and that prices would be quoted at today’s rate vs. the group rate when you initially booked. It is much better to be proactive & reach out to us so that we can work on your behalf prior to a reservation being cancelled.
