We have stayed at hotels in Simpson Bay, Orient Village, and even Philipsburg over the past several years (and longer) and have never been charged any type of resort fee that I can recall. And, should any place ever try to sneak this fee in they'll promptly be removed from our list of places to stay on St. Martin. Never stayed at some of the places listed above, so by doing your home work in advance you can easily find a great place to stay on SXM with these additional price gouging measures being applied. Does anyone recall if Club O. ever charged a 'resort fee' in the past?
