I was told that if we spent money at the property, ie.. restaurant and bar, our destination fee would be refunded. That was not the case. $25 per day per room plus $1.63 taxes on that fee!! We spent $126.00 the first day at the rooftop restaurant and they would only reimburse $25 for one room and I had paid for 2rooms. And you have to spend $25 dollars, specifically assigned to each room each day?!? Which was not clear in their policy.
