How to minimize surprise charges
Ask the reservations agent or front desk to list every mandatory fee (room rate, taxes, destination fee) and optional charges (parking, pet fees, cabana fees) before you check out. If you need parking or EV charging, ask whether a nightly parking rate includes EV use or if charging incurs extra cost.
If you want to avoid incidental holds, request a cash deposit (where accepted) or settle charges at check-out. For meetings and events, clarify whether AV, setup, catering and meeting-room labor are included in your contracted rate.
- Request a written folio of all nightly and one-time fees before arrival
- Confirm whether your booking rate includes premium Wi‑Fi or breakfast (many rates do not)
- If attending an event, ask the planner for a full list of event-related charges (AV, catering, room rental)
| Step | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Request full folio at check-in | Shows destination fee, parking, pet fees and incidentals |
| Confirm EV charging policy | Avoid unexpected charging or adapter fees |
| Ask about what the destination fee covers | Prevents double-paying for services you may not use |
