THREE: YOU CAN LET GUESTS PLAN THEIR OWN TRAVEL

Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to take on the stress of planning your guests’ travel. But making sure they’re completely up-to-date with all of the most important info is totally key. We suggest assembling a thorough travel packet for your nearest and dearest, so they know all of the details, from airport info to accommodations to transportation. And be sure to keep your phone on when guests are arriving, so you can assist if need be.

FOUR: YOUR GUESTS WILL NEED AN ITINERARY

You don’t have to plan your guests’ travel, but putting together a list of activities for their stay in paradise is not only nice, it’s necessary. Think a fun-filled night out on the town, a welcome dinner at your hotel or a beach day with volleyball, snorkeling and rum punch. Just don’t feel like you have to plan their every last move – you can simply offer up a suggested list of activities or recs on restaurants, so they can explore on their own.
