However, they made me wait until after 3 PM to get my room (we arrived at 9 AM, and the resort appeared to be at least half-empty). They automatically granted me a 5 PM checkout time, but that was meaningless since our flight out was at 2 PM. We were allowed to eat breakfast and they offered a hospitality room to freshen up while waiting for the room, but all we wanted after the red-eye from LA was a nap. Honestly, the extra amenities on the Impressions side were of questionable value, aside from the comped Teodoro tasting meal for all stays of 5+ nights. I did enjoy getting some shrimp & lobster ceviche at the Impressions pool, but there are so many dining options on the Secrets side that we barely scratched the surface in 6 days.
