A resort fee is a (usually unadvertised) mandatory fee tacked onto a nightly room rate. Fees can be as low as $3.50 per night at the Clarion Inn & Suites at International Drive, Orlando (they call this one a safe fee), to as much as $60 per night for the St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort, Puerto Rico.
Who Charges a Resort Fee? You'll find resort fees are most prevalent in a few specific destinations: Las Vegas, the Caribbean, Florida, and Hawaii. In Las Vegas, you'll be hard pressed to find a hotel that does not charge a resort fee. The few that haven't charged a fee in the past - such as Ceasar's, which even launched a Facebook page at one point that asked visitors to join the fight against Las Vegas resort fees -- are steadily jumping onto the resort fee bandwagon.
