Apartments with no resort fees.

Katnic1 · 5 Mar 21, 04:57 PM

Just having a look for October and it seems most apartment complexes now charge resort fees. I looked at mystic dunes where we stated a couple of years ago, and the fees are $25 per night! Also looked at Floridays ($25) Grand Villas( $17) and Blue Heron ($19) before getting frustrated and giving up!

Can anyone recommend any (we need 2 bedrooms) that don’t charge fees or the amount is small?

Normally stay in villas but as there are only 4 of us this time, we thought we would have a change.

We stayed in a townhouse at Hapimag (Lake Berkeley) 2019 and no resort fees.
Booked again for September this year so hopefully, we will get away this time.

We've booked Sheraton Vistana through booking.com with no resort fee. Don't pay until arrival and can cancel free up to 48hrs before.

ETA: If there is a resort fee then booking.com include it in the price so it makes it easier to compare.

We stayed at Sheraton Vistana Villages a couple of years ago and there was definitely no resort fee then.

We got a great price for Bluetree Lake Buena Vista bluetreeorlando/ with travel republic https://tv.travelrepublic.co.uk/v3/hotels/97bab109-d7c5-49c6-83ea-6b1b5905d344/3829874?source=TV&dlid=149527415&trv_reference=dcd cfd11-5175-4ce1-b0c9-a6fc95409a2c&utm_campaign=Hotel_UK&utm_source=Triv ago&utm_medium=Meta. It is a little old fashioned but safe, clean, comfortable, spacious and well located. There appears to be a cleaning fee. I'm not expecting it to be huge as they don't clean daily. There is no resort fee.The site is in two parts. Westgate Bluetree appears to be shut at the moment. The half we are booked at has sometimes been callled SPM Bluetree and that appears to be open.

This was actually one I found last night that didn’t mention resort fees. I emailed them last night to ask about that and also to check about the car parking as on the hotels.Com website it said no onsite parking available?

Have you stayed there before? A week there is £600 while the Sheraton vistana where I would prefer to stay, is around £1200 for the week.

We stayed there but it was a long time ago! Happy to share my thoughts but it’s not recent. Great location, right next to Cypress Pointe which we prefer.

There was plenty of parking. You park right outside your apartment (can’t believe that will have changed).

I have stayed here before but it was around 2009 if my failing memory serves me

. I think for the 2 bedroom apartment via travel republic , for august 26th to September 7th 2021 fully cancellable, £15 deposit, we are paying about £630 so about £52 a night or about £370 for the week. I'm hoping it's not too good to be true.
We refuse to drive on holiday but I agree with KarenG there was plenty of parking.

We also stayed in 2009!

We booked through Hotwire and it was £32/night for a one bedroom apartment. There were some bits to pay when we checked in, possibly a dollar or two for use of the safe maybe? And a tiny cleaning fee, but it was not big amounts at all, and we were on a tight budget that trip so I’m pretty sure I would have remembered anything bigger than a few dollars a night total.

Have you tried pricing up with BA? We did book in the sale, but we are staying at the Sheraton Vistana in October for 8 nights with car and flights in and out of Orlando for £2387. This is for 2 adults and 1 13 year old, but we did book during the sale.
