They give you a room key, an identification card, one or more breakfast coupons, a bar coupon for some welcome drinks, a health club pass, a casino pass, free tokens and so on.

She has come to a resort, to enjoy, not keep track of various scraps of paper. For the resort, however this is essential as they have to ensure that genuine guests use the facilities, track usage of the coupons & gather other information.
