Fees, parking and policies to confirm before you go
Several ancillary charges are reported inconsistently across sources. A daily resort fee is listed by some aggregators and is said to cover Wi‑Fi, parking and fitness-center access plus small extras; other sites list Wi‑Fi as free with no separate resort fee. Parking is also reported inconsistently (some list a daily self-parking fee, others say parking is included).
Because these fees and cancellation policies can vary by rate plan or change over time, confirm resin current resort fees, parking charges and cancellation terms at booking or by calling the property.
- Resort fee: reported by some sources to include Wi‑Fi, parking and fitness access — verify when booking
- Parking: sources conflict (free vs a daily self-parking fee) — check current policy
- Payment at check-in: credit card, debit card or cash required for incidentals
- Cancellation terms vary by rate — check the specific rate rules
| Item | What to do |
|---|---|
| Resort fee and parking | Verify on your confirmation or call the resort before arrival |
| Cancellation policy | Check the rate rules or confirm with the front desk at time of booking |
| Age to book | One adult 18+ must be registered in each suite (confirm if a third-party listing states 21+) |
