What is a resort fee? Waikiki resort fees by hotel

If you compare Waikiki hotels only by the price on a booking site, you may face unexpected charges at the hotel. Resort fees are the usual reason.

What is a resort fee?

A resort fee is a nightly charge the hotel adds on top of the room rate. It bundles things like Wi-Fi, the pool and fitness center, beach gear rental and cultural activities, and you pay it whether or not you use them.

It is often not included in the prices shown on booking sites, and you pay it at the hotel, usually at checkout. Amounts on this site are before tax, so the actual charge is higher.
