Resort Fees at Hawaii Hotels About 15 of Hawaii's hotels--mainly higher end resorts--charge mandatory daily "Resort Fees" that are added to your bill upon checkout. These fees can cause "checkout sticker shock" if you don't include them in your trip cost calculations, so we've included a handy compendium below of which Hawaii resorts charge Resort Fees, how much they charge, and what you get in return. Here at Travel Hawaii, we're not big fans of Resort Fees because we want to be able to sell our clients fully prepaid Hawaii hotel stays. Finding out at checkout that a hotel charges a hefty Resort Fee could certainly irk some travelers. So to help you make informed buying decisions, all of our hotel web pages specify when a hotel has a Resort Fee, how much it is, and what you get in return. On the other hand, many Resort Fees appear to provide great value--as long as what they provide is something you'd normally use. Check out the table below. The variety of things you receive in exchange for paying your Resort Fee can be quite impressive. Blog about Resort Fees at Hawaii Hotels Further Down on This Page
