Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing the Right Gift
What is the difference between a gift box and a gift certificate?
A gift package provides access to the services described in the selected offer: a stay, a meal, or an experience. With a gift certificate, you choose an amount and let the recipient choose their own experience, according to the terms listed on the certificate.
What kinds of experiences can I offer?
The store features hotel getaways, culinary experiences, wellness retreats, golf getaways, and automotive-themed offers, among other things. Each listing details the services included and the participating establishments.
How can I choose without knowing the recipient's dates?
You don’t need to set a date at the time of purchase. The recipient will contact our concierge service to arrange their experience during the voucher’s validity period.
Can I choose a specific hotel or region?
The selection of accommodations depends on the package. If a specific hotel or region is a must, please contact our concierge service before purchasing to verify that the offer meets your needs.
Where can I find the participating establishments?
The list is on the gift set page. It is subject to change; our concierge service can confirm the available options when you make your reservation.
What exactly is included in the listed price?
The description details the included services and the number of guests. Before booking, check for any expenses not listed, such as additional drinks, parking, tourist tax, spa treatments, or other activities.
Is the gift set intended for one or two people?
It depends on the offer. The number of people is listed on each product page; be sure to check this, especially for dining experiences.
