Priceline Hotel: Resort San Antonio (West-Sea World) Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort

[iloveresorts]

Picked up the Hyatt Hill Country Resort for $100/night for 9/29 - 10/2.

Helped a coworker win a bid of $90 for the Hyatt Hill Country 9/23-9/26.

Stayed here in March of this year for $90 and wasn't charged the $22/resort fee. Interested to hear if anyone else had to pay it or didn't and if anyone knows anything about the policy changing?

Congrats on your success. :)

Very nice result for this Hyatt property; we'll use this thread for the 9/29-10/2 stay - it would be greatly appreciated if you could post the 9/23-26 purchase as a separate thread.

I'm seeing this on Expedia:

The following mandatory hotel-imposed fees are charged and collected by the hotel either at check-in or check-out.

Resort fee: USD 22 per room, per night

Hotel resort fee inclusions:

Internet access in guestroom

Phone calls (local)

Newspaper (daily)

Use of pool

Use of fitness center

Use of sporting facilities or equipment

Use of in-room safe

In-room coffee

Self parking

Additional inclusions

----------------------

- But maybe policy has changed.

Thank you for sharing your win and please use the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.

Enjoy your stay.

We have stayed at Hyatt's Lost Pines resort near Bastrop (and indeed just got back from there Labor Day weekend) and anytime you book a room directly through the hotel or normal hotel buying channels they absolutely DO charge you the resort fee. However in our limited Priceline bidding expereince and that of our friends (5 total stays combined) we have never been charged the resort fee when using Priceline bidding. The only charges we incurred at the resort itself were dining,etc. that we charged to our rooms. Granted the last bid stay we had was in March of this year. So we are particularly interested in hearing from anyone who has stayed recently if they have had to pay the resort fee.

It's also probably worth mentioning that we along with our friends are all Platinum Hyatt Passport Members and made sure to link our passports with our reservations so not sure if that makes a difference or not.
