Practical planning tips for organizers

1. Define your room mix early
   • List who needs ocean views, swim‑up access, family layouts, or accessible rooms. Share this with the resort when you inquire about availability.
2. Coordinate arrivals and keys
   • Provide a simple rooming list and ETA ranges so the 24‑hour front desk can prepare for staggered arrivals.
3. Set dining expectations
   • With buffets and à la carte options, plan at least one shared dinner. Confirm large‑party seating windows with the team upon arrival.
4. Align on payments
   • Since the resort is cash‑free, ensure every traveler has a valid card or centralize payments through one organizer. Confirm any group‑related fees or requirements via email before you finalize.
5. Plan downtime and activities
   • Build in free time for the beach and pools, and pre‑select one or two shared excursions through the tour desk or dive shop.
6. Mind family needs
   • Reserve cribs (USD 10/night) in advance. Because rollaways aren’t offered, choose Family Rooms or suites when extra sleeping space is needed.
7. Consider mobility and proximity
   • If proximity matters, request rooms in the same area. Ask about Accessible Ocean View Rooms where needed.
8. Leverage on‑site conveniences
   • The EV charging station, on‑site parking, concierge, and car rental make logistics simpler for self‑drivers.
9. Check seasonal notes
   • If traveling in July–August 2026, remember that facilities and hours are being phased in; confirm what’s operating during your dates.
