TL;DR
Early check-in is not guaranteed: even arriving before 6am, guests can be left without a room for days, though dinner and breakfast on arrival day are usually included per the paid package.
According to a tour operator, even a late-night flight arrival still allows guests to catch late dinner and next-day breakfast, since these meals are covered by the paid package regardless of check-in time. Arrival at the hotel before 6am is supposed to guarantee immediate check-in.
In practice, hotels don't always keep their promise: a guest was told a room would be ready the next day, but was only offered a room without a balcony or with a single bed — after three days of waiting, they gave up pushing for a better option.
A different front desk staff member bluntly told a guest not to bother showing up at 6am hoping to speed up check-in — there simply were no free rooms, and it was better to just go to dinner and wait.
