Here are some of the questions that are frequently asked by our guests:

Reservations

Can I make my reservations on line?  At this time, we are not equipped for real time, on line reservations.   You are welcome to email your reservation requests, most are answered within 24 hours.  To guarantee your reservation immediately, please call us at 573-365-2634 between the hours of 8:30AM and 8:00PM.

How much deposit is due?   We require a one night deposit on a two or less nights reservation and a 2 night deposit on 3 or more nights.  This deposit is due within one week of making your reservations.   Any reservations made for the following year are due on February 1 of the year in which your reservation falls.  Deposits may be made by credit card, personal check, money order or cash.

What are your cancellation policies?  After deposit is made and you cancel 45 days prior to your arrival date, you will receive your a deposit refund, less a $25.00 cancellation fee.  If you cancel within 45 days of your arrival, we will refund your deposit, less the $25.00 cancellation fee, if, the unit is re-rented for the same number of days that you cancelled.  Please call as quickly as possible if you need to cancel your reservations.  This gives us the greatest opportunity to refund your deposit.

Rental Units

When can I check in?  Check in is guaranteed anytime after 4:00PM.  If you arrive early and the unit is available, we will check you in anytime after 12Noon.  Check out time is 10:00AM prompt.

Do I need to bring towels and sheets?  We provide all bed, bath and kitchen linens with the exception of pool towels.  These can be traded as often as needed with our housekeeping department.  We also provide toilet paper, trash liners, hand soap, dishwashing & dishwasher soap.

What else should I bring?  We suggest that you bring beach towels for the pool, folding chairs for the dock or your deck (a picnic table is provided with all units except motels), BBQ utensils if you plan on cooking out and coffee filters for your coffee pot. 

What dishes do I need to bring?   Each kitchen has a basic set of tableware, silverware, glassware and pots & pans.   A pitcher and serving/mixing bowls as well as a toaster, coffee pot and salt & pepper are provided.  Blenders do not come with the room.

Do you have BBQ Grills?   Each unit has a Weber Kettle BBQ grill on the deck.  These grills use charcoal and lighter fluid.  Please note: Alhonna does not provided charcoal, lighter fluid or BBQ utensils.

Do You have Laundry Facilities?  Yes, located next to our housekeeping department are 2 sets of coin operated washers & dryers.  They are available from 8AM to 10PM each day.   Quarters, laundry soap and dryer sheets are available for purchase at the resort office.

What do I need to do upon check out?  All we ask of our guests is to please remove any trash from the unit and wash and put away your dishes before leaving.  Please report any problems to the office so we may take care of them immediately. 

Boat Rental

How much will my gas cost?  Not to be funny, but we get this question a lot!  The answer is....we don't know.  Because of variables like weight in the boat, wind speed, choppiness of the water etc, there is no way we can give an accurate estimate of your gas consumption.   We can tell you that we use premium gas in our rentals and quote our current pump price if you give us a call.

Do you rent skis and tubes?  We rent both.  We do restrict ski rental to just our ski and deck boats.  Tubes may be pulled behind both ski and deck boats as well as triple log pontoons.

Can we take a rental boat out at night?  While we do allow overnight rentals, all wiring has been removed for navigation lights and our insurance does not cover night time usage.  Rental boats may be used from sunrise to sunset only. 

How far are you from Party Cove?  Approximately 15 miles by water.  On weekends and holidays, allow a minimum of an hour and a half to get there and up to two and a half hours back.  Traffic can be VERY heavy near the Grand Glaize Bridge and under the Toll Bridge.

What if we are late? All boats are due back at Alhonna NO later than 6:00PM - there are NO exceptions.  Should you bring your rental boat back after 6PM, the charge is $75.00 for each 15 minutes or $5.00 per minute.  These fees will be deducted from your deposit.

How can we pay for our rental boat?  We accept cash, Traveler's Checks, Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express.  Fees for the deposit ($300 or $500 for a multiple day rental), sales tax and the rental fee will be collected prior to the rental. 

Do you allow BBQ grills on the rental boats?  Absolutely not!  Fire and gas do not mix!

Do you rent waverunners or jet skis?  Alhonna Resort & Marina does not rent this type of equipment, however, Jenny Lee Marine located on our property does.    Please follow their link for more information.

What about a fishing license?  Missouri Department of Conservation Fishing Licenses may be purchased at the office.  An annual resident license is $12.00.  Non-residents (of Missouri) may choose either the annual license for $40.00 or a daily permit for $7.00/day.   Children 15 and under and Missouri residents 65 and older, do not need a license.   Please note:  we accept cash or check only for payment of license (no credit cards).

What type of fish will I catch on Alhonna Docks?  Our docks are bedded with cedar trees and brush to attract bass and crappie.  In addition to these game fish, kids can catch their fill of bluegill and sun perch and for the very patient fisherman, a variety of catfish populate our waters.  More information about the types of fish at Lake of the Ozarks, visit this link:

General Questions
