Wasn't charged last weekend for the resort fee. FD didn't even mention it.

Looks like they are timing the fee with the completion of the renovations. A big thumbs down on this one and will make a difference in my booking plans at least the Sheraton included parking in their fee.
Here is a list of hotels with fees.

Looks like I will have to look into the HHV after all GF wants to stay there anyway when we are there in Feb. Like others have said they can keep their paper and water phone calls etc. no value to me at all but I guess they have to find a way to pay for all the TOTO toilets and the Regency Club upgrade big

Just called HGP CS to confirm and this is indeed the case now resort fee will be charged at 18 bucks plus tax per night I asked about getting it waived (have a 10 night stayed planned at this property in feb.) and they said up to mgnt. at that property if they want to waive it good luck with that.

But I just checked, and using the same corp rate for the same dates, they are now disclosing that fee.
Between the GET @4.66%, the TAT @9.x% and now the $18 resort fee, it's getting pricier there.
On the other hand, you get all the toto washlet treatments you can handle

It may call itself a Resort but I have never thought that. If anything it is only a place to sleep before heading out. Spending the entire day lounging around that place would be a total mental waste.

However in the end the Asian visitors will still come for the Hyatt name. Just like they do at the Guam Hyatt. which by the way has one of the best RC. And the restaurant has some of the best lamb chops going ! Fresh from NZ

I thought the same thing as well so I asked them if I would have to pay the fee even thoughI made my reservation months ago and they said the fee still applies I would have thought it only would have been applied to future reservations after the fee first started not retro active it

I would just do a charge back if they won't budge on this. I would try to get a email from some one at the hotel stating the date the resort fee went into effect. This will come in handy when your mailing proof to V/MC.

That is interesting. Two charges. One being for the resort fee only or same amount. Then dispute it. I'd hate to be the portfolio manager at the large bank in charge of this investment aka Hyatt "Resort" Waikiki.
