This is my first trip to the country so I have no idea how bad the process might be.
No, we were discussing the situation directly above regarding getting a late checkout and/or staying at the HGI the last "afternoon" as a place to crash before a late flight out.
In your situation, with a 5pm arrival, you will be at the Conrad by 6-630pm, so no way I'd stay at the HGI the first night unless you're just really trying to squeeze every penny out. It doesn't take hours and hours to get through immigration, baggage, taxi, etc, or anything like that. Especially as you said it's your honeymoon, don't waste your time with the HGI the first night. Spend the $125 or whatever it is for the Conrad
