2. There's free parking (though there is a $25 fee/tip for check-in/out car/bag retrieval).

3. Also, they have many beach activities (canoes, paddleboards, etc) which is great, but they charge a 'lesson fee' for them which they admitted is basically a rental fee for the time you are there.

4. By the end, our extras over four days amounted to almost $500 (and we didn't have ANY alcoholic drinks or restaurant specialty items- this was just gratuities and transfers to the airport) I would much prefer they just add $100 or whatever to the daily rate, or really itemize everything (X amount for the room rate, X amount for the activity fee, itemized restaurant charges, etc.), but this in-between arrangement they abide by is simply annoying.

7. One restaurant has some additional fees for some of the meals, which I honestly found a bit excessive, but the food at both places was extraordinary.
