Flying out late and worried you’ll lose a full beach day? With Delfins departure-day facilities, you don’t have to. Check out, store your bags, keep enjoying the pools and private beach, pick up a fresh towel, and shower in our dedicated check‑out room before heading to Flamingo Airport. This guide shows you exactly how to turn departure day into one more mini‑vacation.
Departure-Day Game Plan at a Glance
- Drop your luggage with the Front Office for safe storage.
- Collect a fresh towel at reception.
- Keep the vacation going: enjoy the pools and private beach, or snorkel from the pier.
- Use the dedicated check‑out shower room to freshen up before you leave.
- Book an airport transfer to/from Flamingo Airport for $20 per person (return) if you’d like a seamless ride.
Pro tip: If you prefer extra time in your room, Delfins offers late check‑out (subject to availability) that you can request 24 hours before departure.
Late Check-Out vs. Play-All-Day: Pick the Right Strategy
Delfins gives you two great ways to design a stress‑free departure day. Here’s how they compare so you can choose what fits your schedule.
Option 1: Late Check-Out (until 4 PM)
- Request window: 24 hours before departure
- Availability: Subject to availability
- Latest time: 4 PM
- Rates by accommodation type:
- Studios and 1‑bedroom apartments: $25 per additional hour
- 2‑bedroom apartments, penthouses, and villas: $35 per additional hour
This is ideal if you want quiet time in your room to pack, rest, or take calls without moving your day bag around.
Option 2: Use Delfins Departure-Day Facilities After Check-Out
- Luggage storage: Front Office assistance on your departure day
- Towel pickup: Collect a fresh towel at reception
- Shower access: Use the dedicated check‑out shower room before leaving
Choose this if you’d rather maximize beach and pool time, enjoy a leisurely lunch, or squeeze in one more snorkel.
Which option should you choose?
- If your flight is mid‑afternoon and you value downtime indoors, late check‑out buys you flexibility.
- If your flight is evening and you want every last ray of sunshine, the departure‑day facilities keep you comfortable and refreshed without the extra room hours.
