Any chance you booked your stay before 2/1/16? We are checking out after a 3-night stay using points and were charged $20.94 service fee each night. We called and the front desk says this applies to all stays.
When we checked in, we discussed the pros and cons of using points versus cash with the desk clerk and the topic of the resort fee came up, making us think it did not apply to points stays (as it never has for our many prior stays). Buyer beware.

My stay was February of this year. Paid with points and there was certainly no resort fee, no cash contribution at all: just the points.
