✅ Book Direct vs. OTA: Direct booking often yields suite upgrades or late checkout. Call hotel before booking OTA to negotiate.
✅ Best Rate Guarantee: Lock rates 60+ days ahead; prices often drop 2-3 weeks before arrival. Price-match policies apply.
✅ Airport Transfer: Included at luxury properties; confirm when booking. Avoid public buses.
✅ All-Inclusive Reality: “All-inclusive” covers meals, drinks, activities, entertainment. NOT: premium spa, special excursions, boutique shop items. Budget €100-200/person for extras.
✅ Dress Code: Dinner often has smart-casual expectation (no beachwear at restaurants after 6 PM). Ask hotel.
✅ Tipping Culture: Not mandatory at all-inclusive (included), but appreciated. €5-10/day for housekeeping, €2-3 per meal for waiters if service impressed.
✅ Best Time to Visit: April-May, September-October. July-August is hot, crowded, pricier. December-February is off-season; rates drop 30-40% but water is cool.
