According to a local guide, wristbands are cut at checkout. Extending a wristband costs $5, and if a room is available, you can extend your stay.
Wristband extension: $5
WB-branded wristbands are typically not cut, while standard blue wristbands at 4-star and 5-star hotels are cut at checkout. You can pay to extend, or one guest checks out while the other stays and uses the all-inclusive.
