Yes, owners pay the daily fee for the unit.

Agree, the location is prime real estate, and thus expensive. I didn't know that daily rentals could opt out of the MAP....used to be whatever you rented as a daily rate included in the rate a $$ credit used toward breakfast and dinner.

Sorry, Katiemack, they may still be doing that. I meant it "doesn't" go over too well, I've several friends that don't stay there because of that.

At $90 extra per day, we would have to think twice about staying there, too. And of course there are no kitchens, so you have to eat out for every meal...so that adds up, too.

fwiw, we didn't pay for our kids when we took them... mind you, we didn't ASK, we just didn't mention it, and neither did anyone at the desk.... and since kids aren't allowed in the spa, maybe they wouldn't charge that for kids? Time will tell - I suppose Craig will let us know...

I will be there 2 weeks before Craig while it is under construction. We should see what if any the difference is that we are charged.

I'll find out what I can about the kids but this little get away will just be my wife and me.

You are not alone....others have also had to do this....as for MAP, while it is pricey for some folks to have that in the daily rate, the restaurant is really pretty good. But with all meal plans, it makes the stay inflexible if you wish to not lose money.

We tried convincing the management to be more flexible, but they won't hear of it.

In years past, we "sneaked" in a microwave and that helped us, but we had to hide it each day we left the room. We had one that fit in our suitcase.
