Crockpots in rooms?

Rule 1: While on vacation you shall do no cooking have others do it for you.

I agree most vociferously.

I wouldn't say it's a modest difference. We received a complimentary upgrade from Garden View at the Grand Flo to Sugarloaf Concierge Garden View on a 13 day trip once. The price difference would've been over $3000 (at least). DH and I definitely didn't eat and drink $3000 worth of food and alcohol, and we had many continental breakfasts, pre-dinner hors devours/drinks, and evening drinks (just about every day). Don't know how you can get 3 full meals a day there since lunch time is usually just light snacks, and the lounge offerings aren't meant to be full meals anyway.

We did see people try to take multiple bottles of beer and wine back to their rooms, but the concierge staff quickly stopped them and only allowed them to take A bottle of beer or A glass of wine back to the room.

We've noticed a bit of a downturn in the food offerings in the concierge lounges over the years (choices, ingredients, types), and chances are it's due to people making many full meals out of the options offered.

It depends on what you are upgrading from, you a re right, it could be a lot, but not always. Kids can eat three meals a day there, not adults, I should clarify, my kids are 6 and 7. I see people taking bottles of beer all the time, I have never seen anyone ever question it. Maybe its different at the Sugarloaf than Main Building?

Might depend on who's staffed there... we've seen it at the Main building, too. In fact, in the main building lounge, we have seen the staff politely remind people that the offerings were not meant to be full meals when they saw guests with many plates filling up the tables. I was surprised they would say anything, but they did.

To get back to the OP's question....

Any appliance that is left unattended in a guest room is a fire hazard. If it is not something that is supplied with the room, the guest may (will) be held accountable for any and all damages the appliance causes.

Please be safe and leave your crock pot or other cooking appliance at home. If you wish, there are microwaves in the food courts of the resorts. You can bring prepared foods, keep them in a cooler or the room fridge, and heat them up as desired.
