How to Make Your Rivas Stay More Romantic
Request the right room before you arrive
A corner room, a higher floor with a view, or a room with a king bed rather than a double can transform the stay. TripSage briefings tell you which specific rooms to request at each property — information the booking site never shows you.
Contact the hotel before arrival
A simple email to the hotel ahead of arrival mentioning an anniversary or special occasion often results in complimentary touches — a card, chocolates or a room upgrade. Hotels are far more responsive than most guests expect if you ask directly.
Book the hotel restaurant in advance
In-house restaurants at boutique and luxury hotels book up fast. Reserving your table before you check in means you can enjoy the best the hotel offers rather than eating out of necessity. The concierge can also recommend nearby options if you want variety.
Ask for late checkout
Late checkout on the last morning of a romantic break is one of the most underused hotel perks. Most hotels can accommodate noon or 1pm checkout — sometimes at no cost. Ask at check-in rather than on checkout day, when rooms may already be allocated.
