What To Do If Your Room Sucks

This is NOT MY room. There’s a mistake here…..

All-Inclusive Resorts have become very popular.

Many are fully booked ……during holidays it can be 110%.

So occasionally someone gets a room they are not happy with.

These simple “first step” actions can help you avoid a shocking surprise:

1. Upon being let into your room (before your bellman leaves) do this:

  • Flush the toilet
  • Turn on the shower (check for hot water)
  • Turn on the sink (check for hot water)
  • Check for ceiling leaks
  • Check outside for anything missing from your balcony
  • Take a quick scan of the bed linens…..
  • Do you have enough pillows?

2. Have the bellman show you how everything works

  • Room safe, TV, lights, etc.

3. Locate the ice machine

  • Ice is 1 of the 4 food groups.

4. Check the clock radio to be sure the alarm is not set for 4:30am

Then relax……you are on vacation. Put that ice to good use.
