No one tells you, but I’m going to!
Pool aren’t always heated-some resorts have heated pools but only turn on the heaters during specific months or when the temperature gets below a certain number. Others simply do not heat their pools ever.
Oceanfront does not equal swimmable beach-some beaches in the Mexican Caribbean are very rocky and not conducive to swimming, while others have huge waves, rip tides and currents that make swimming risky.
Adult only resorts are not always peaceful-some may think that not having kids around make adult only resorts quiet and serene, and while some are, others are party central! Make sure to understand the vibe and choose carefully!
Room service isn’t a guarantee-while many resorts offer included room service, there are some resorts that do not offer room service at all, while others only offer it for certain room categories or during specific hours. Others will charge you a per item fee or a delivery fee.
Bali beds aren’t always included-at some resorts, the best, most comfiest and shaded spots have an extra cost, and sometimes can book up early!
Booking with a travel advisor will make sure none of these catch you off guard and that there are no surprises, just the vacation you actually wanted!
