20% of room rate resort fee! I understand resort fees. But ugh, I just made a mistake.. I waited until I was at the airport to book my hotel room as there was a snow storm in Boston and I wasn’t sure if the plane would take off. I was doing this on my iPhone and did not see the fees. Probably they were displayed and I was just a bit under duress after driving in the snow to…

Friends want a Resort, I…don’t. Some of my best friends have asked if I wanted to take a vacation and go stay at a resort in February (specifically in Cancun). I almost immediately said No. When I travel I really enjoy either 1. exploring a city – going to local shops, restaurants, and experiencing the culture of the people 2.

How to spot, and avoid, timeshare properties while shopping for a resort We are shopping for a vacation destination in the Caribbean… likely in Jamaica but that isn’t relevant to the question. We have traveled quite a bit over the past 35 years, but now it seems like timeshare resorts have started to spring up like crazy. Secrets, Divi, Hilton, Marriott… are just a few I have seen.
