Four days. One double room. Bathroom included. Zero margin for error 😅
This room at Hotel Del Lago hadn’t seen a full scrape-and-paint since pre-Covid, which means… yeah. It was absolutely time. Peeling walls, years of wear, humidity doing its thing — so we stripped it all back and did it properly.
We had four days to flip the entire room and get it guest-ready before the next people walked back in. No extensions. No “we’ll finish tomorrow.” Just get it done.
During the scraping phase, the kids jumped in too. I jokingly called it child labor (everyone relax 😂), but honestly, getting the kids involved is half the point. They learn what it takes, they take ownership of the place, and yes — extra hands don’t hurt when you’re racing high season.
It’s a lot of work, but this is what high-season prep actually looks like behind the scenes. Quiet upgrades. Dust. Sweat. Paint in your hair. And doing the kind of maintenance you never see in the final booking photos — but absolutely feel when you stay.
Here’s a quick look at what it takes to keep Del Lago dialed in and ready for the busy months ahead.

Jesus that is some view there.
It’s tough to complain, but I still find a way. Human persistence 😉
That's great! I think it's important for children to know how hard work is, what it represents, and that to earn a living, one often has to work hard. I think it makes them appreciate what they have and not take anything for granted.
Yeah, plus a kid loves being able to wield a machete 🤓
