marksands -- Well, for one, my issue with the "109" price is mainly that I think it's dishonest, when you consider all the fees and such that get tacked onto the final bill. That said, I could understand some people liking the resort itself. The self-contained, touristy atmosphere definitely isn't my thing, though.

Oh, and congrats on the nice view from your room. I had a view of a big empty parking lot -- which reminds me of another annoyance. The only self-parking lots were way on the other side of the resort. It took at least five minutes to get from the room to the lot... The parking lot outside my window was vast, and didn't have a single car in it the whole weekend. I don't know what they use that lot for, but it would be nice if they gave their guests more convenient parking, since it's so readily available.

Maybe they charged too much on fees and taxes, but...

Maybe they charged too much on fees and taxes, but walking around that place I expected a night stay to be some 2~300$! For $109/night that's a steal buddy! The place was rockin, a boat ride indoors, a jungle-themed view from your hotel balcony--the place was kicks. However I do agree, that I would probably stay at the Romada across the street. (the parking fee was outrageous, I admit)
