They are driving me crazy. Hey, from the other threads that I've read, if someone is a Palace Member and books, their room nights do not count towards the group booking. So essentially, the only people that count towards the nights is those that in fact book through the group booking and are not members of the Palace resorts. I haven't heard of the second charges, only if the guests are staying at an off site resort, they will have to pay the daily pass to get in for the wedding. Is this what the coordinator is telling you? Seems a bit outrageous if they are staying at the same resort. Is that how they want to treat their members/even potential members? I wouldn't think so.
