The exact dollar amount of the resort fee changes by date and source. If a specific total matters to you, check your booking confirmation or contact the hotel before arrival.

Deposits, incidental holds and rollaways
Some booking channels list a refundable deposit or incidental hold applied at check‑in; examples seen in third‑party reports include a USD 200 cash/card deposit per room, per day. The hotel’s direct policy may differ — check your reservation terms.
Incidental holds are commonly placed to guarantee payment for room incidentals, dining, spa treatments, or damage. Holds may be released after check‑out but timing depends on your bank or card issuer.
A rollaway bed and other special requests may carry additional fees; rollaway pricing has been reported on booking sites. Ask the front desk for current fees when you reserve extras.

If you prefer to use a debit card or cash, contact the hotel ahead of arrival to confirm accepted methods and any hold or deposit requirements tied to those payment types.

Event and wedding deposits / payments
Event and wedding bookings typically follow distinct contract terms. Large events often require deposits, minimums, and a payment schedule outlined in the event contract.
If you’re planning a wedding or conference at Terra Ballroom, Tala Beach, the Rooftop Deck, or other hotel venues, request the hotel’s event brochure and the written contract to confirm deposit amounts, cancellation policies, and payment deadlines.
Event pricing examples and full‑wedding package starting figures are reported by third‑party wedding sites; for binding details use the hotel event sales contact or your signed event contract.
- Ask for the written event contract showing deposit schedule and cancellation terms
- Event revenue minimums and service charges may apply (details in contract)
- Work directly with the hotel’s Event Specialist for updated pricing and payment deadlines
| Venue | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Terra Ballroom / Rooftop Deck / Tala Beach | Deposit amount, payment schedule, cancellation policy, guest minimums |
| Private beach or pool decks | Catering minimums, staffing fees, and timing of final payment |
| Event contract | Signed contract is the authoritative source for all fees |
Check-in, check-out and incidental billing tips
Check‑in is after 4:00 PM and check‑out is by 11:00 AM; the front desk is staffed 24 hours. Early check‑in or late check‑out may be available for a fee, subject to availability.
Ask the front desk at arrival what holds or deposits they intend to place and whether they can pre‑authorize a smaller amount on your card. Keep receipts for any incidental charges posted to your room on departure.
If you need to split payments (for example, a room on one card and incidentals on another), request split‑billing at check‑in so the front desk can note it on your folio.
- Standard times: check‑in after 4:00 PM; check‑out by 11:00 AM
- Front desk open 24 hours with express check‑out available
- Request split billing or ask about the incidental hold amount at check‑in
| Common request | What to ask at check‑in |
|---|---|
| Reduce hold amount | Ask whether a smaller pre‑authorization is possible |
| Split folio | Request separate folios for room and incidentals |
| Check final charges | Review posted charges before signing or leaving |
