When doe the AI end / late check out rooms

[Kazp99]

We fly out on 12th June from Birmingham and our flight home isn't til 4am ish in the morning. Do you know if the AI wristband lasts until you leave the complex or is it when you've checked out of your room?

Also would anyone recommend the late check out room if so is it better to book one through first choice for �50.00 or at the hotel when you get there, is it cheaper?

Hi Kazp99, EVERY all inclusive that I've ever stayed at you ARE entitled to the food & use of facilities up until you leave. Although I have read of a couple of hotels where the a/i finishes at midday. Also, we have always booked late checkout at the actual hotel.

Ive never gone All Inclusive, only Half Board or Self Catering.
However I would look at it like this ........seeing as you have got the early morning flight home when you leave, I assume you have arrived at the hotel in the evening and so have missed out on dinner even though you would have paid for that day only getting a bed for the night, so I would personally expect to be fed until collected for departure home.Thats just my opinion?

Hello.
Our flight back was 00.50 friday morning. We didnt use late check out as it only gives you up til 6pm. It didn't seem worth �50 extra! We just went back to our room before 12, when we were meant to be out, and took our cases to the store room at reception.
We spent the day at the pools as usual and got changed in the spa in reception. They allow you to use these facilities all the time...but recommend it when you are leaving and have no room to use. The restaurant and drinks are free as usual....in fact everything is the same as any other day there except you have no room to go back to on the night.
Hope this helps.
I dont recommend paying �50 extra to book late check out...but thats my opinion.( I think they charge �10 per person via reception.)
