Thought this might be of interest. Here is an excerpt for the resort fee policy for Flamingo resort and Royal Palm as listed in the reservation form.
"- Hotel Guests and Exchange Reservation: A photo identification, credit card for $100 security deposit and a nightly $10.00 plus tax resort fee will be required (cash is not an acceptable form of deposit). Resort Fee includes WiFi, beach chairs, seasonal activities, billiards table, pool, business center computer/internet and boarding pass printing.
- Owner Weeks and Member Points Booking: Photo identification and a form of payment will need to be provided at check-in. Resort fees* will be waived when staying on your owner week or member point reservations. A resort fee of $10.00 plus tax per night will be added to the reservation if the owner or member of THE Club® is checking in on a rental reservation."

Is this in addition to the annual maintenance fees?
No billiards table at Royal Palm that I am aware of.
I also wonder if they will address the issue of "saving" chairs on the beach and around the pool?? As early as 5:30am there were as many as 15 chairs "saved" around the pool and often not used until way later in the day, if a all.

As far as the pool loungers. All you have to do is bring it to the attention of the pool security and it's a done deal. At least at the Flamingo it is. I have never once seen it addressed at Royal Palm. In fact, some of the people are very friendly with the pool attendants and maintain the same lounges their entire stay.

No, personally I never have but I know others that have and as I said, it has never been addressed.
I spend very little time at the pool there but it is rather disgusting to see "saved" lounges with nobody in them for hours on end.

Is this something new? We have exchanged into Flamingo many times and have NEVER paid that $10 per day fee you have mentioned. We have also rented at Royal Palm and never paid it either.

If people like you don't complain to persons in charge how do you expect to get it corrected? If I used the pool/beach lounges a lot, I would complain. Otherwise, in being rather old fashioned, I expect people to act in a different fashion than they typically do. I would agree with the 1.5 hour thing but it is NOT handled that way at Royal Palm. Often items (shoes, towels, books, etc.) are left overnight to assure a lounge.

FYI - Towers is charging $30.00 per week or $5.00 per day for Internet right now...they just can't seem to make up their collective mind. In December it was $35.00 per week and they said it was going up to $40.00 but perhaps that was for the high season?.... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

SXMScubaman said: Squeaky wheel gets the grease. It won't change by ignoring it. Bring it to managements attention next time you witness it. Turn their crap into the lost and found and take over the loungers. After an hour and a half I would think it was abandoned. I'm not squeaky, I'm downright no-nonsense.
