The Resort Fee

When you book a room at a resort, it’s natural to assume that built into your rate is your use of all those things—the gym, the pool, the gardens—that make the resort so delightful. Why, then, would a resort tack on an additional $10 to $25 resort fee for each day of your stay, even if you never go near the pool or the beach? Because it can. (Then they add a tax to the fee!) If you’re heading for any hotel that has palm trees, be sure to ask about this fee up front.
