I agree. But I still want to see a beach attendant turn down the $10 tip because I'm not paying a resort fee.

At the risk of soundling like the old man I am, I remember the good old days when beach chairs and the lke weren't extra. One might assume, not unreasonably, that beach and pool lounges are included at a beach resort. What about towels, -- is one allowed to use a beach/pool towel if not paying the resort fee? Perhaps the resort would prefer that I walk back through the interior to my room dripping water along the way . . . .
