So if you arrive early, well before check-in, and leave your bags out front while you eat and enjoy the pool, are the bags totally safe? Has anyone heard of any issues with theft of bags left out at the front? And when you decide to go up, will the bags already be in the room, or do they bring the bags when you tell them you're ready?
Personally I have never heard of (or even read in this forum) a single person having trouble with leaving their bags out front when they arrive before check in or check out and stay for a number of hours. When you finally get your room they will escort you to the room with your bags.
For the ladies.... Pack your first day swimwear, the suit you like, that you know you look good in and is comfy to wear. And... Pack at least one super-tiny, perhaps mesh/sheer, little flimsy bit of a thing that someone, somewhere called a bikini bottom that you think, "There is no way in hell I'd ever wear that!" Put it in your suitcase. I bet by Day Four of your trip, you might finding yourself putting it on and strutting yoru stuff! For the guys.... Do NOT pressure her about which suit You want Her to wear. Trust me, it'll work itself out the way you want. Temptation has that effect. It's Amazing!
For #4- If you're unsure or scared, get the pills at home and bring them. Not embarrassing nor a problem...when eating like a pig and drinking like a pig, with fatigue and strain, the body will likely shut down. So come prepared. This is not a drug from hell that will haunt you for the rest of your life, it's just a little helper for one night. If your doc approves, your lady will surely be the beneficiary of a hell of a night! It is your vacation so enjoy every bit of it to the max. In any case, she will!
