You may “opt-out” or choose to be excluded from these communications by noting this on your guest registration during your hotel stay or by contacting Customer Service. For Customers who do not reside in the United States and Mexico, and who have not chosen to enroll in the Las Gaviotas Condo-Hotel Rewards program, we may contact you regarding your satisfaction with your hotel stay but will not send you any sales promotional communications or special offers unless you have consented to receive such communications.
