Step-by-Step: How to Complete Your Bank Transfer

Follow these practical steps to complete your pre-arrival payment smoothly.

  1. Watch your inbox for instructions
    • After booking, look for the resort’s message with bank details and any specific notes for your transfer.
  2. Verify the details before sending
    • Double-check the beneficiary information in the resort’s message against what you enter in your banking app or at your branch.
  3. Initiate the bank transfer
    • Use your bank’s standard transfer or international wire service as applicable. Follow your bank’s prompts carefully.
  4. Add a clear payment reference
    • In the transfer’s reference/message field, include your booking number and lead guest name. Example: “Booking 12345 – Jane Doe.” This helps the resort match your payment quickly.
  5. Save your proof of payment
    • Keep the receipt or confirmation your bank provides (PDF or screenshot). It’s useful if you need to confirm timing.
  6. Notify the resort (recommended)
    • Email your payment confirmation to reservations@bonbiniseasideresort.nl with your booking number. This heads-up can help the team spot your transfer promptly.
  7. Allow processing time
    • Bank transfers may take a few business days to arrive and be posted, especially for international payments. Plan accordingly.
  8. Keep communication open
    • If your arrival date is close, call +5999 461 8000 or email the team to discuss timing and provide your proof of payment.
