TL;DR
Standard checkout is at noon, but with a late-night flight some hotels cover the room for the full day or let you stay on the premises and have lunch. Confirm the terms with your travel agent in advance.
For a midnight departure, the room is typically paid for until noon per the booking. If you missed lunch on arrival day, the hotel may compensate by allowing you to have lunch on departure day.
For a late departure, you may be able to extend the room directly at reception: in one reported case, the room was extended until 8:00 PM for $30. The guests were also allowed to keep using the hotel facilities and meals until their transfer.
Hotels may charge a fee for early check-in — one guest was initially asked for $40 but negotiated it down significantly. The room was ready around 9 AM after arriving at 6 AM.
Even with a late-night flight, checkout is at noon, but you can usually stay on the hotel grounds. Some hotels allow you to have lunch and may even let you use an empty room in the evening to freshen up. Conditions vary by property.
If your flight departs after midnight, check with your travel agent — in some cases the hotel room is paid for that calendar day even if you don't actually sleep there, giving you full use of the room until departure.
Most hotels operate on a noon check-in policy, sometimes later. If you arrive in the morning, you get wristbands and resort access immediately, but the room won't be ready until noon. The same rule applies at checkout — the room must be vacated by noon regardless of your flight time.
