I asked him if there were special limits or if we needed some vouchers. He said no - just charge to the room and they will get knocked off. This seems to be more liberal of a policy than you mentioned. Have they changed again or did he give us wrong information?

As much as I don't like the government messing with the travel industry, I really think resort fees need to be abolished. These need to be included in the room rate, it's not the same an ancillary charge because everyone is getting hit with it.

And here's what the resort fee now gets you. Again. Apologies if this has been covered before.

This.
And retroactively, without notice - shame on them.
I thought their change of Diamond breakfast policy was really a non-issue, and for such a small segment of their total guest population I would figure. But this resort fee, on top of the valet fee, sucks. Lame. ...glad I only stay here on award stays that waive any resort fee.

This resort is nice and I've been a big fan but $70/day in fees alone is absolutely ludicrous!!! I am so turned off by this property. I will tell everyone to stay away. This hotel is absolutely not worth those fees. I would stay at the Grand Wailea or Fairmont before staying here just on principle. This hotel has such a snotty attitude now that I am extremely turned off by them. The rooms are small too. I have stayed in a suite every time but once and the suites are large but the regular rooms are tiny and have no dresser to store clothes. What hotel has no place to put your clothes? I'm not one to write reviews on TripAdvisor but this change has convinced me to give them an honest review now and it won't be pretty.
