Correct, not free unfortunately. At 100 EUR per day extra charge for a couple, I passed. It's hard to make a judgment without having seen it (I will let someone else be the guinea pig) but since my room rate was 100 EUR, for a couple it would basically double the price. In many hotels, having lounge access is not just about food and drinks in the lounge, it's also about having access to more personal service. However at Rixos I already thought the service was excellent without needing the extra perks...

Perhaps they will reconsider the price point in the future and I might pull the trigger then.
