The Tribe That Freed America

TRAVEL TIPS

My vacation package promised a guided tour, but the operator substituted a self-guided app instead. Can they downgrade the experience like that?

My resort had a mandatory dress code that wasn't disclosed until we arrived. Can a hotel really dictate what guests wear?

The short answer is yes, a hotel or resort can usually set dress rules on its property, but there are important limits and practical workarounds guests should know.
