I was looking at a room with Hilton on the big island. While reviewing the extra info, noticed the daily resort fee (the add on garbage fee for local phone, internet and a “safe fee”) is $206 per night!
So is this to have access to the Lagoon etc?
This has been discussed extensively on the Hilton forum.
I believe this amount is for the whole stay as the resort daily fee is around $45 plus they tax it, still way too much as I hate this style of fee. I go to some length to avoid places that find a need for these deceptive charges. Curt
It is still a BULL S*** Fee either way.I thought the HGVC forum was restricted to the timeshares. This is specific to the hotel.
Link?

Do those fees somehow avoid taxes? If so is it a win for both parties overall? I do not like the fees. Usually pay with points.
This can’t be correct. I’ve stayed there. I think that the thing to do is call the resort directlyView attachment 14889

I thought that as well, but I was doing the one bedroom for $295/night. I was looking at three nights. At the bottom they are stating the charge to the card will be $1512.24. The only way to get near the total is if the per night garbage fees are the $206. Agree though, $45 a night is too much.
I totally agree. When we purchased our timeshare it was supposed to cover everything at the resort. Now there are fees for pool, kitchen, amenities, parking, safe and many other items that should be included. I think we need to revolt. The answer is not just do not stay at that resort. If I want my children to use my home resort I must buy a guest certificate for $50. That is outrageous!View attachment 14889

Hmm..
Perhaps the reservation website the OP is using is adding extra booking fees (secure.rezserver.com)
For example, here’s what I get at the Hilton.com site for non-refundable prepaid reservation using a slightly higher nightly rate for 3 nights. Try your desired dates at Hilton.com.

So this is Hilton? I couldn't tell by what the OP posted. Would that fee be reimbursed or partially reimbursed to the Aspire card? Just wondering because my new Aspire card says fees are reimbursed up to a certain amount. $450 for the card seems outrageous to me, considering most of the benefits will probably not benefit me much.
