This page is a distilled checklist version of several other guides on this site — the specific questions worth asking a resort or travel agent directly before booking, rather than assuming a brochure or listing page covers everything.
Transfers
- Speedboat, seaplane, or domestic flight? See our getting around the atolls guide.
- Is the transfer included in the quoted rate, or billed separately?
- What happens if my international flight arrives after dark and my transfer is seaplane-only?
What's actually included
- Exactly which restaurants and drinks are covered by my specific meal plan — see our resort dining guide.
- Are green tax, GST and service charge included in the quoted price, or added at checkout? See our green tax explainer.
The villa itself
- Which specific villa number, and does it face sunrise or sunset? See our villa orientation guide.
- Does this villa category include a private pool, or is that a different tier? See our villa amenities guide.
Anything specific to your trip
- Accessibility needs — see our accessibility guide.
- Dietary requirements — see our vegetarian & vegan travel guide.
- Wedding or celebration plans — see our getting married guide.
