Normal check-in time is 3:00 pm and normal check-out time is 12:00 pm.
Guests arriving earlier, or departing later, than normal times may request early check-in or late check-out. These will be handled on a "best efforts" basis, subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed.
The best method to request early check-in is to call in advance. The best method to request late check-out is to ask at the front desk.
- If a family member gets lost, report to a member of the front desk staff and request an alert to all staff members who may be able to assist in searching.
- Give them as much information as possible including gender, age, race, clothing description, last known location, direction of travel, if known, and communication abilities (verbal/non-verbal/understands verbal communication).
- It is recommended that you have a recent photo available on your mobile device so that you can share it with the resort team.
- In normal circumstances GPS functions throughout the premises and there are no “blind spots.”
- Stay at the front desk. This will enable the resort team to locate you as soon as possible once your family member has been located.
