Your mileage may vary. The luggage storage facilities are in a shed across the street from the airport. I personally did not feel comfortable leaving the bags there for any extended period of time. If you have to leave bags, doing it at your hotel would probably be the best bet.
Thanks all. Will give my hotel a call (sheraton PPT) and see if they will let me lave off one suitcase a 5 days before we check in. All else fails then i guess we will have to leave it at PPT airport.
