Share your preferred stay and diving plans with NOVA Beach Resort. This is a reservation request, not an instant booking.
How to Make a Reservation
The following procedure applies to website requests that include accommodation, for both Japanese and international guests.
- Please submit your preferred dates, room type, and diving requirements through the reservation request form on our official website.
- NOVA will check your preferred dates, accommodation and diving arrangements.
- After reviewing your request, NOVA will provide a quotation covering accommodation and diving services.
- Once you have reviewed the quotation, we will ask you to book the specified room and dates through Booking.com.
- NOVA will check the Booking.com reservation notification and match it with your accommodation and diving arrangements.
- After verifying these arrangements, NOVA will send you a booking confirmation.
- The remaining balance for diving and other services will be settled at the resort.
The accommodation amount booked through Booking.com will be counted toward the total quotation, rather than added on top of it.
Returning guests making private bookings directly with NOVA may continue to use their established procedures. Please contact NOVA directly.
Prices are not calculated automatically. Extra nights, additional dives, equipment rental and other options incur additional charges according to our established price list. NOVA will confirm the final arrangements and total price.
The 2-Day Diving Package includes two diving days (4 dives in total) and either 2 or 3 nights of accommodation. The 3-Day Diving Package includes three diving days (6 dives in total) and either 3 or 4 nights of accommodation. The price of each package is the same for either of its included night options. There is no discount for the shorter stay and no accommodation supplement for the longer stay within the included night options. Diving on the arrival day is subject to arrival time, boat schedules, and safety conditions. Please discuss your preferred schedule with us when making your reservation.
Planning to dive at Balicasag?
Advance permit arrangements are required. We recommend booking at least two months in advance, or three months in advance during peak periods. All participating divers must submit a copy of their diving certification card (C-card) in advance. Excursions depend on permit availability, local regulations, weather and sea conditions.
Payment & Cancellation Policy
Booking Confirmation
Submitting a reservation request does not confirm your booking. A Booking.com accommodation reservation does not automatically confirm your diving arrangements. After receiving the Booking.com reservation notification and verifying your accommodation and diving arrangements, NOVA will send you a booking confirmation.
Accommodation Payment & Resort Settlement
The accommodation amount booked through Booking.com will be counted toward the total quotation covering accommodation and diving. The remaining balance for diving and other services will be settled at the resort. Diving charges are not paid through Booking.com.
Please check the payment method and charging schedule shown during booking and in your Booking.com reservation details.
Payments made at NOVA Beach Resort must be made in cash. Credit card payments are currently not accepted. Additional services and optional activities used during your stay will be settled at check-out.
Returning guests making private bookings directly with NOVA may continue to use their established procedures. Please contact NOVA directly.
Cancellation Policy
Accommodation booked through Booking.com is subject to the cancellation policy of the rate plan selected at the time of booking. Please check the conditions shown on the booking screen and in your reservation details.
Flexible 7-Day Policy
Cancellation is free up to and including 8 days before arrival, the day before the 7-day cancellation period begins. Cancellations from 7 days before arrival onward are subject to a charge of 100% of the accommodation price. No-shows are also charged 100% of the accommodation price.
Non-Refundable Policy
Cancellations after booking are subject to a charge of 100% of the accommodation price.
What the Cancellation Charges Cover
These cancellation charges apply to the accommodation amount booked through Booking.com, not the total package price. They do not include diving charges scheduled for settlement at the resort.
Diving-Only Reservations
No new cancellation-charge policy is being introduced for diving-only reservations. No Booking.com accommodation reservation is required for bookings without a stay. Please submit your diving requirements through the reservation request form.
No cancellation charge applies if a Balicasag diving trip is cancelled due to weather or permit-related reasons.
Booking.com Reservations and Payments
Please begin with the reservation request form above. After receiving NOVA’s quotation and instructions, book the specified room and dates on Booking.com.
Guests requesting accommodation with diving through the NOVA official website are offered our published website rates without seasonal surcharges, including during the New Year holidays and Japan’s Golden Week.
On Booking.com, higher accommodation rates may apply to individual nights during peak holiday periods.
After NOVA provides a quotation covering accommodation, diving, meals, and other requested services, guests will be asked to complete their accommodation reservation and advance payment through Booking.com.
The amount paid through Booking.com is intended to be credited toward NOVA’s total quotation, with the remaining balance payable at the resort. The exact amount and payment arrangements will be explained before the reservation is confirmed.
Accommodation-only reservations may not be accepted during peak holiday periods.
Please refer to the cancellation and refund conditions displayed on Booking.com when making your reservation.
