TL;DR
Attending the resort rep's welcome meeting is not mandatory — you can just message them that you won't come, no real consequences. But the guide is useful for solving room, checkout/flight and other logistics issues.

The resort rep may send pushy messages claiming attendance is mandatory and could affect your return flight — but in practice, just replying that you won't come is enough, and there are no real consequences.

The resort rep genuinely helps with check-in issues: for example, if you're unhappy with your room after a late-night arrival, you can request a room change in the morning at reception, and the guide will help sort it out.

A good resort rep won't push anything on you at the meeting and just helps with any issues that come up.
