The Mailbox center (across from Palm's restaurant) has computers that they rent, you don't take them with you, you use them there. I always have my ipad for emails and such, asking at places that have free wifi what the password is to download emails. But when I have serious work to do, I will head to the Mailbox center and rent a computer for a few hours so that work isn't piling up so much at home. It's not a private place for phone calls, if that is what you are thinking, more like little workstations right next to each other. You can print documents there, it costs like .50 cents a page or something like that. I have been in there and been the only one, or it is full with 6 people and that's about the number of computers they have. One caveat, I did fax something there once, it said it went through, but later found out the fax was not received by recipient in U.S.

Scubaman--several people have reported that the internet is slow when there are a lot of people at the resort. The same with Royal Palm. You get what you pay for!!

SXMScubaman said: I understand that. We do pay for it indirectly through our MF but guests get the benefit too but don't pay a MF or wifi charge. There have been talks of having guests pay for wifi and still keeping the wifi free for owners. Maybe that would curtail some of the heavy usage during peak season. What exactly is a "guest"? Someone renting by the day or week as a hotel room? If so, you can almost bet there is a built in charge in the rate or service charge to cover wi-fi in lieu of the MF.

Actually, I would be surprised if they do that. Diamond isn't all that known for being that protective of 'owners'... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" />

I wouldn't bet my money on something stated by management at Flamingo or Royal Palm as being the gospel.
While I am not an "owner" I have dealt with Royal Palm enough over the years to not fall into the trap of believing everything management might say. It actually cost them a free stay of a week several years ago and they still managed to screw that up!

Perhaps I am mistaken but I believe Wendell was referring to the fact a couple people posted the passwords for free wifi at restaurants.

Scarlet USED to not work at Flamingo, probably 4 years ago or so. I understand since then that they have installed additional towers and it's supposed to work there now.
