This depends on the rate you booked, not status

Usually before 6PM on the day of arrival

Day after your stay

Regardless of rate, I've found they are very willing to waive any charges if you have to cancel last minute

^ yes. Always works best to call property if you're out of policy.

If you have to cancel last minute and don't want to deal with begging for a fee waiver, just change your arrival date to a later day and then immediately cancel. Once you change the arrival date you'll be within the window for a few-free cancellation. I do this wayyyyy too often and have never had an issue

bcg is right

Depends on the property. If you're a regular vs an entitled Platinum card waiving consultant.

Thanks for the tips, peeps. I had a slightly different situation causing me to cancel and will now have to shell out of my pocket 😡. Although E3's idea is awesome - wish I had thought of that earlier! Saving that away for the future.

Do folks have trusted/valuable resources for researching luxury family travel with young kids? I don’t care the cost, I want to know what is most convenient and nice for my family. Feel like generally most resources are geared to either a) families on a budget (I don’t care which hotel is best bang for buck w/mid breakfast) or b) couples / adults only travelers. Do folks just stick to true five star hotel concierges for help? Do folks just book luxury tours like A&K? How do folks research?
