If you check into a hotel and there is no extra charge for the beach or pool, I consider that the beach and pool are free. If you check into a hotel and there is a $50 resort fee to use the beach or pool, I consider that the beach and pool are extra. Just as in flying on a plane - if the Coca Cola is free, I consider it free. If I have to pay $3, I do not consider it free. I understand that the free coke is built into the ticket price but there is a difference between the two models. I was at a hotel once where there was a separate charge for the phone - which I didn’t even use. If the phone surcharge had been included in the price of the room, it would not have bothered me.
