Like worldwide, hotel rooms check-in time is 3:00pm, check –out 12 pm.
Due to the high tourist season early check in is not always possible even with OAT priority on access to rooms. Please be prepared to wait.
Please bring a luggage with wheels, because of the small amount of porters in the hotels, this would save us some time at loading and unloading the buses.
You should also check with the airlines on luggage fees. Many airlines charge to check luggage, sometimes even on international flights. Others will charge a fee if you bring a second carry-on item, like a purse or a laptop. These fees are not included in your trip price; they are payable directly to the airlines. If you are making a connecting flight, you should also confirm if your luggage can be checked through to your final destination.
