Love + LeisureGroup Trip Planning Checklist
  • Define your occasion. Milestone birthday, reunion, girls trip, anniversary
  • Confirm approximate guest count and age range
  • Set your travel dates and flexibility window
  • Identify must-haves. Beach, pool, adults-only, family-friendly
  • Determine all-inclusive vs. European Plan preference
  • Confirm passport validity for all travelers (6 months beyond travel date)
  • Set a realistic per-person budget range
Venue and Resort Considerations
  • Does the resort accommodate your group size?
  • Private event space available for a dinner or celebration?
  • Pool or beach areas that allow group gatherings?
  • Room categories that work for your mix of travelers?
  • Connecting or adjacent room availability?
  • Excursions and group activities available on or near property?
  • Airport transfer options for the group?
  • Resort policies on outside vendors, decorators, or photographers?
  • Welcome amenities or group gifting options?
  • Dietary and accessibility accommodations available?
  • Minimum night stay requirements for group block?
  • Any construction or renovation planned during your dates?

Love + LeisureRoom Blocks. What to Know
  • Soft block. Rooms held under your name, no guest deposit, book via link by cutoff date
  • Traditional block. Deposit secures inventory, minimum night commitment required
  • Attrition clause. Fine print that charges you if your group books fewer nights than committed
  • Room release date. The date unsold rooms return to general inventory
  • We monitor your block and alert you before rooms release
  • We review every contract and negotiate before you sign
Group Logistics Checklist
  • Send save-the-date to guests at least 6 months out
  • Share booking link or room block code immediately after securing
  • Set a guest RSVP deadline 30 days before room release date
  • Confirm roommate pairings and room category needs
  • Coordinate airport arrivals and group transfer options
  • Plan one shared group experience. Dinner, excursion, or beach day
  • Designate a group point of contact for logistics questions
  • Confirm dietary restrictions for any group dining events
