As a Zest member you can gift your Zest short breaks to your friends. You can gift your holidays on payment of guest fees and a letter of authorization as per the format prescribed by Mahindra Holidays. Your spouse, parents and children are excluded from the payment of guest fees. A person to whom a holiday has been gifted should carry the confirmation voucher as well as a proof of identity to be produced at the resort.

You can cancel confirmed Zest short breaks by making the request in writing. This may impact on the number of days you have in your account, depending on when you make your request. The date on which you submit the request shall be considered as the date from which to apply the cancellation norms. If you cancel up to seven days before the start of your Zest short break, you do not stand to lose any days. If you cancel between 6 days to 4 days before the start of your Zest short break, you stand to lose half the days of your confirmed holiday from the total days booked. If you cancel less than 3 days from the start date of your Zest short break, you stand to lose the entire number of days of your confirmed holiday from the total days booked.

Should you wish to change your plan, make your request as early as possible? Making your request for the change up to 7 days before the start of your Zest short break ensures that your change is allowed and you do not lose any days or points from the total days you have booked. Making your request between 6 to 4 days before the start of your Zest short break means that you lose half the days of your confirmed holiday, but your request for change is allowed. Making your request less than 3 days before the start of your Zest short break means that you lose all your confirmed days and your change is not allowed.

Please carry your Membership Card and your confirmation voucher number to enjoy the Zest short break.
