Quick question, we are planning on staying at AKL this year. While we are down some friends of ours are going to be in the area. We thought about inviting them over to visit. How do we let the gate know so they will let them in?
If you want to take it to the next level, you can add them to your reservation. This would allow them to use the pools and amenities while they are visiting. For example, if you have 2 of you staying in a studio that sleeps 5, you could add 3 more to your reservation.
All resorts are open to the public, and people are coming and going all day long to dine at the restaurants, shop at the shops, check out the theming, etc. There's no need to inform anyone that you'll be having company.
