Resort Fee

This was a great review. I find resort fees irritating at best but I find a percentage to be obscene. I have reservations for February at Mayakoba and was shocked when the fee came up and added several hundred dollars to a three night stay.

The rules request that you at least post something of a summary here (or the whole post)....

First time saw a hotel charging in this way, Hyatt or any other company!

I think the Papagayo property also charges resort fees based on rates.... at 10% of the rate.

I wouldn't be surprised if they will find a way around that.

They will call it a "service charge" like all of the Asian hotels do.

$186/n on booking.com for Jan, which Hyatt BRG matches painlessly.

you are, of course, very likely right. assuming the Globalist resort resort-fee-waiver is a cost of affilliation with Hyatt rather than a reimbursement from Hyatt Corp to the hotel.

Have a 3 night stay in a beach suite in couple weeks. Found the latest review on TA about 2 water bugs being found in the room a bit concerning, hopefully not the case otherwise.
