"The property is gorgeous! We loved the hot springs. The downfall was that we had no hot water the entire trip. We asked for help numerous times but no one was ever able to fix it for us. We also had no key to our safe. Not a huge deal, but would be nice. We had no issues with theft! Would stay again… ..."

  • Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it straight on the scanner yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
  • You are now allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. This will need to be taken out for screening.
  • Place any personal items (e.g, keys, phone and wallet) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during screening.
  • If you're bringing food on board, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
