What to Expect When Booking a Brand New Resort
Hey there! So you’re thinking about staying at a brand new resort? That’s super exciting! Before you hit that booking button, let me give you the real talk about what it’s actually like to be one of the first guests at a just-opened beach resort.
The Good Stuff (And There’s Lots of It!)
Amazing Deals! New resorts almost always offer lower rates when they first open. They’re trying to build buzz and get those first reviews rolling in, so you can often save 30-40% compared to what they’ll charge a year later!
Instagram Gold. Seriously, your social media will thank you. Being among the first to post pics from a brand new resort? Your friends will be like “How did you even find this place?!”
The New-New. Everything is fresh! Crisp bedding that hasn’t been slept in hundreds of times, furniture without wear and tear, and the latest design trends everywhere you look.
VIP Treatment. The staff-to-guest ratio is usually higher at new resorts because they’re not at full capacity yet. Plus, they’re super eager to make a good impression!
Your Feedback Actually Matters. Mention something small that needs attention right after check-in? There’s a good chance you might get upgraded to a better room as a thank you!
The Reality Check (Just Keeping It Real)
Not Everything Will Be 100% Ready. Maybe one of the four restaurants isn’t open yet, or the spa is still finishing some treatment rooms. The main stuff will be good to go, but expect a few “Coming Soon” signs.
The Staff Is Still Learning. Everyone’s still figuring out where everything is and how things work. They’ll be super friendly about it, but don’t expect the seamless precision of a resort that’s been open for years.
Little Finishing Touches. You might notice a few little things still being perfected – maybe some landscaping that’s not fully grown in, or some decorative elements still being installed.
Unexpected Schedule Changes. Sometimes that morning yoga class or afternoon cocktail hour might change times as they figure out what works best with guests.
This Is NOT For You If…
- You’re super picky about every tiny detail being perfect
- You need constant, immediate service and attention
- You get upset if something on the menu isn’t available
- You’re the type who writes angry reviews over small issues
- You expect a brand new resort to run like a well-oiled machine
This IS For You If…
- You love discovering places before everyone else
- You appreciate a good deal and value for your money
- You enjoy friendly service even if it’s not yet perfectly polished
- You can go with the flow when small things aren’t exactly as planned
- You like being part of something new and watching it evolve
Think of it like being invited to the soft opening of a cool new restaurant – there might be a few kinks to work out, but you’re getting an exclusive first look (and better prices!) before the crowds discover it.
