1. Make sure you book the room that you actually want If you are two singles traveling together, make sure you ask for two separate beds. If you are a couple, ask for a king size bed. (Yes, if you have a good travel agent, they should be able to accommodate you, and help you with this.)
2. If you are a couple, and you are on your honeymoon or anniversary, you should definitely inquire at the front desk about a free upgrade when you check-in. Please remember that the resort receives emails about room requests all the time. Be understanding as this is only a request. (Note that it is much better to ask in person at the front desk, than to send an email about it.)
3. Make sure you book at a time for your arrival that is convenient for you. If you have to check into your rooms after three in the afternoon and you have booked a morning flight that you arrive earlier, be prepared for that your room may not be ready. If you are arriving in the evening, it should be no problem. Understanding that rooms become available in the afternoon means that you understand people check out for their flights that day, and that rooms must be cleaned by the maid before you can check into yours. Check with your hotel for available check in times.
4. Keep in mind that if you are taking an evening flight home, you will have to check out of your room around noon and will have to store your suitcases in a locked room for the day. This can be a pain as you cannot access showers or all your things to get ready after a day in the sun. Using communal washrooms all day and not having your hotel room available to rest in might be a problem for some people. That being said, some hotels will allow you to pay money to keep your room and offer a late check out. This will be subject to availability. If people are arriving that day and need to check into their room which was yours for the week they might not allow you to do this.
5. Get your clothes together, then divide it in half and put that in your suitcase. It is so easy to over pack and you will always be surprised at how many clothes you did not wear.
6. Anything like mouse for your hair, shampoo, creams etc that may explode in your suitcase on the plane should be packed in plastic bags or alternatively put in your carry on.
7. Arrive three hours ahead of time (I know it sounds like a lot, but on flights where there is no pre-assigned seat, it helps as you can pick your seat and the closer to the exit on the plane means closer to the exit when you get off, closer to customs, and closer to get on the bus when you are going to your hotel).
8. If you have food restrictions, inquire ahead of time.
9. Please be thoughtful of the person behind you- that is, when you are eating, raise your seat back up from the reclined position so that your neighbor has room to eat as well.
10. The movies are not always good. If you have a portable DVD player, ipod, or a PSP; bring it.
