Quick Answer: What time is check-out at Grand Case Beach Club?

• Check-out time is 11:00 a.m.
• Rooms must be vacated by 11:00 a.m. to allow for disinfection and complete cleaning for the next arrival.

Why the 11 a.m. Check-Out Matters

GCBC prepares every suite thoroughly between guests. Vacating by 11:00 a.m. gives the team the time needed for disinfection and complete cleaning before the next arrival.

• Each room features its own air conditioning system; buildings are spread across five structures with open corridors and stairwells, and the oceanfront setting brings abundant fresh air.
• You’ll help with healthy ventilation by opening the sliding door before leaving, ensuring the screen door remains closed. This simple step supports air exchange while keeping the room secure from the outdoors.
• GCBC staff members have been trained by an approved training center for customer relations and procedures during health crisis periods, and Health and Safety measures are respected and may be updated as needed.

These measures work together to maintain a comfortable, well-ventilated environment for all guests from one stay to the next.

The GCBC Departure Checklist

Use this simple list to make your check-out smooth and swift.

1. Pack and tidy early. Finish packing and gather all personal items.
2. Open the sliding door. Before you leave the room for the last time, open the sliding door and make sure the screen door remains closed to promote healthy ventilation.
3. Keys and safe lock on the table. Leave the keys to the room and the lock to the safe on the table.
4. Request your invoice by email. If you prefer a paperless departure, ask to have your invoice sent by email.
5. Final walkthrough. Check outlets, drawers, closets, the bathroom, balcony, and safe area.
6. Depart by 11:00 a.m. Respecting the check-out time allows the team to complete disinfection and full cleaning for incoming guests.
7. Post-check-out note. GCBC reserves the right to charge your credit card for any missing or damaged items discovered after check-out.

A Calm Morning Timeline You Can Follow

Here’s a simple, structured plan for a relaxed departure day.

Tip: If your scheduled cleaning service happens to fall on your departure morning before 11:00 a.m., remember that rooms must be vacated for four hours during cleaning. You can inform reception when you leave the room on the day cleaning is due or use the “Do not disturb” sign if you don’t need service prior to departure.

How Housekeeping and Ventilation Support a Smooth Turnover

GCBC’s approach blends comfort with thoughtful hygiene practices:

• Daily cleaning service is provided during your stay. On those days, the room must be vacated for four hours to allow for thorough service.
• You’re encouraged to open windows and sliding doors as much as possible—and at least once a day—to allow for healthy ventilation throughout your stay.
• Hand sanitizer is available in public areas, and wearing a mask is optional across the property’s public spaces.

These practices support a fresh, breezy environment—enhanced by GCBC’s oceanfront setting and open-air circulation in buildings and walkways.
