Early Check-In and Late Check-Out at the Hotel: Tips to Maximize Your Stay



Early Check-in and Late Check-out: Maximize Your Hotel Stay


Arrival Before 4 p.m.


In most hotels, check-in is officially at 4:00 p.m. However, if the property is not full and has rooms available, you may be able to check in as soon as you arrive, although this is not always guaranteed.


To fully enjoy your first day, it is a good idea to pack everything you need to enjoy the pool or the beach in your hand luggage: swimsuit, shorts, t-shirt, hat or cap, flip-flops (beach sandals), light beach towel (yoga-type towels are ideal because they take up little space and can be reused), sunscreen, sunglasses and thermal glass.


Upon arrival, you will check in and receive the "all-inclusive" bracelet, allowing you to enjoy the facilities even if your room is not yet ready. Change, leave your bags in the designated area in the lobby (secure and monitored), and start enjoying your vacation!


Late Departure


Your room check-out time is usually at noon. However, if your flight is scheduled for 2 p.m., the bus that will pick you up will arrive around 10 a.m. It is important not to confuse your room check-out time with the time you need to be ready for departure. The latter is indicated in the booklet provided by your tour operator, which you will find in the hotel lobby.


Departure from the rooms

Extension of Stay: Keep Your Room After Noon


If you wish to keep your room after noon, it is usually necessary to pay a supplement. However, this is not always guaranteed, as it depends on the arrivals and departures of the day.


If you are a regular guest of the hotel, do not hesitate to ask for this privilege as a repeat traveler. It is better to ask the question shortly after your arrival rather than at the last moment before your departure.


If you need to check out at noon and your flight is later in the day, you can leave your luggage in a secure storage area, usually located in the lobby. Be sure to keep only what you need to enjoy the beach or pool during the day.


Most hotels also offer a "courtesy room" for you to shower and change before you leave. In some cases, you may need to reserve a specific time for this room, while other properties do not have this requirement. If you are traveling in a group, consider paying the late check-out fee for one room and sharing this option with other members of your group.


Don't forget to bring a plastic bag to store any wet items you want to put in your suitcase or hand luggage.
