ROOM RESERVATION PROCEDURES
In order to assign individuals to specific rooms, room reservations will be required. Please phone in your reservation requests, to the following number: 1-877-808-2440. It is important that each of the guests contact the hotel at least thirty days prior to your arrival date and identify themselves as part of our group (Physicians for Ancestral Health), and provide the hotel with guest name, home or business address, email address (if any), requested type of room, requested bed type (i.e. king, double/double or suites), check-in and check-out dates. Any requests for special room arrangements must be made at the time of this call. The Hotel does not confirm reservations to the individual in writing. All individually booked reservations must be guaranteed to the attendee’s major credit card at the time of reservation and the reservation must be received by the Cut-off Date.
You may also book reservations online.
CHECK-IN I CHECK-OUT
Guest accommodations will be available at 4:00 pm on arrival day and reserved until 12:00pm on departure day. Any attendee wishing special consideration for late checkout should inquire at the front desk on the day of departure.
GUEST ROOM CHARGES
When reservations are made, Saguaro will require a major credit card to hold the reservation. Each guest will be required to present a valid credit card upon check-in, on which an amount of sufficient pre-authorization can be obtained to cover the room and tax charges and hotel fees for the length of the guest’s stay, plus the anticipated use of the hotel’s ancillary services.
Any changes made to group individual reservations or master rooming lists must be made through the reservations department and submitted in writing 72 hours prior to arrival. Saguaro will do our best to accommodate change requests based on availability at the time the request is made, but cannot guarantee that requests will be accommodated.
Hi, I am a new member of Physicians and Ancestral Health. I am hoping to come to the Winter retreat time permitting. Is there any more info yet on the lectures/ timetable, as I need to look into flights (I’m coming from London). Thanks and look forward to meeting all of you.
Best Wishes
