Resort fees are one of the most confusing parts of booking a hotel. They’re nightly charges for amenities like pools, fitness centers, and Wi-Fi — and they apply whether you use them or not.

In this guide, we explain why resort fees exist, why they’re controversial, and practical ways travelers reduce or even get them waived — including tips for booking with points, using loyalty status, and navigating popular destinations.
