Hotel Etiquette: A Guide to Perfect Behavior During Your Upcoming Stay

Travel to a beautiful destination deserves the best behavior from you and your companions. While enjoying the amenities and services of a luxurious resort or hotel, it is important to remember the golden rule of hotel etiquette: respect, honesty, and tidiness. Not following these guidelines can not only lead to consequences but also ensure that you and your loved ones have an unforgettable and less than ideal experience. Here are some tips to help you make the most of your stay and ensure that you leave no traces of mischief behind.

What to Avoid Doing in a Hotel

Avoid causing unnecessary disturbances both to the environment and fellow guests. Below are some common mistakes to steer clear of that can ruin your experience and others' stay:

Smoking and Damaging Property:Smoking inside the room is not only frowned upon by hotels but can also get you in trouble with the authorities. Moreover, damaging the property by posting graffiti or breaking any fittings can result in hefty fines. Report any broken or dysfunctional items to the hotel staff immediately to avoid any liability. Stealing Hotel Items:Stealing items such as the hairdryer, alarm clock, and other small accessories is not only unethical but also illegal. These items are not meant to be taken home, as they belong to the hotel and are available for all guests to use. Report these items promptly to the hotel staff to ensure they are kept safe for others. Behaving Destructively:Resort behavior should be characterized by kindness and respect. Avoid engaging in disruptive activities such as playing loud music, yelling, and other noisemaking activities during the day and night. Remember, others may be sleeping or trying to relax. Soiling Bed Linens:Peppering the bed linens with any form of bodily fluid, regardless of the circumstances, is a severe no-no. This can cause nightmares for the housekeepers and potential hygiene issues for the hotel, which could result in a ban from the property.

Thankfully, Not Once Have I Used My Clock as a Weapon

Although the urge to set alarms in the middle of the night might feel tempting, consider the consequences. Not only could this prank cause distress and disruption for others, but in extreme cases, it can lead to a confrontation or even more serious situations. It is best to be considerate and mindful of others' schedules and living spaces. Furthermore, unplugging the clock when you first enter the room can effectively kill the prank possibility and turn off the bothersome LEDs.

A Family’s Thrilling Holiday to Memory

My husband and I decided to treat our family to an unforgettable holiday at a breathtaking 5-star resort in the secluded tropics. The trip was a complete indulgence, with all the expenses covered. Our son, Ted, had high expectations as he yearned for a resort with all-inclusive options where he could eat to his heart's content. Ted's love for his body and the constant complaints about his hunger were well-known.

Our family's journey to the tropical paradise was filled with excitement, but the most memorable part of the trip was the video my husband watched before our departure. These videos of the island filled him with pure joy. He would burst into uncontrollable laughter and tears of happiness. However, the videos remained a top-secret, and his unusual behavior intrigued us.

We arrived at the resort with great expectations, and as we settled into our suite, we were struck by the lavishness and sophistication of the place. Our stay was a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, and our time at the resort will be etched in our memories forever.
