They've ruled, specifically, that if resort fees are disclosed, they can be separate from the room rate - that's why the initial search just has room rate - next click has resort fee - this goes back to 2012.

It is also why AirBnB has a lot of fees not initially disclosed until you click later - this is bigger than resort fees.

It is odd they've ruled airlines must disclose all pricing and hotels do not.
