I'm all for it, but it's not a Photo DO unless all interested from the other thread are online now and book with us. Know what I mean?

Just found this fine print on the hotel website (after making a reservation):
For your convenience, a daily room gratuity in the amount of $9.00 per person (subject to change) is added to your bill and is distributed to resort staff. For your convenience, an automatic 18% gratuity is added to all Food and Beverage charges.
Looks like they have their own kind of fuel surcharge...
But well, this is "for our convenience", so I guess I should not complain.

I was working on all kinds of complicated theories
about how to get $9 from the various rates posted,
dropping zeroes, moving decimal points, nothing worked.
But the mistake was as simple as that, a zero rate plus gratuity.

Thank you for clarifying this! It actually makes a lot of sense, but I did not even realize it when I posted the information, I thought they would add this gratuity to the quoted price.
This being said, I have not received any email confirmation yet and booked a couple of hours ago, so I am starting to wonder if they will honor it.
