What’s included and what costs extra
A mandatory daily resort fee is charged per room and covers premium high-speed Wi‑Fi, pool and beach amenities (heated pools, hot tubs, waterslides, beach chairs/umbrellas/towels) plus a few extras; meals and standard dining are not included. Many services cost extra — parking, spa treatments, cabana rentals, in‑room dining delivery fees, and pet fees — and are billed separately at check-in or when used.
