2-heated pool for use 7am-10pm
3-fitness center use 24 hours a day
4-free champagne or mimosa, but only available on weekends check ins from 3-5pm (WHHHAT?)
Seriously, I asked to speak to a manager. Got a front desk manager on the phone. Went through list. She also included a huge (HER WORDS) benefit the agent forgot. Free water bottles. They give 2 per room per day. (I did say i would just take them out of the lounge, to which she replied lounge food had to be consumed in lounge!)
Well folks, guess this means I will look elsewhere. Be honest and put it in the room rate. This is deceptive at best.
This actually made me giggle
I have a pretty damning view of resort fees in general, but at least most properties pretend to give things for it (so that Arne can claim consumers demand it).
