Can anyone who has stayed at Royal Palm as a timeshare owner or timeshare renter comment on what it appears they are now charging in the form of a $10 daily "resort fee"? I just stayed there in Feb./March and there was no such fee charged. I called the front desk and was told there is such a fee and it was implemented "earlier this year".
Thanks.
J.D.

I haven't heard of it before. But I assume that if RP is charging it, that Flamingo is also. I wonder if it is as a result of the sale of Diamond Resorts? I personally really HATE these resort fees, which basically are just a way for them to charge more money for the same services that they provided before..

No idea and that is another reason I called Royal Palm. Not that I expected a complete or accurate answer but I thought it was worth a try.
Perhaps Scubaman can add to this since he was just at Flamingo a couple of months ago.

There is a resort fee of $10 a day at the RP and Flamingo. Not a result of change of ownership. It is only charged for RCI or II trade in guests and renters from the resort. It covers wifi, pool towels etc. It is not charged to fixed week owners or Diamond point guests.
Not to be confused with the $50 timeshare fee all guests pay except renters. Ok and thank you. Let's say I rent a timeshare week direct from you at Flamingo. Do I then pay the $10 daily resort fee?

No. Only if you rent directly from the resort. The $50 timeshare fee still applies. Was like that this last May at the Flamingo.

Thank you.
The person I spoke to at Royal Palm was not correct then either, unless they indeed are attempting to charge EVERYONE as that is what she implied.
