1. I also felt our food bill was probably 20% higher than your usual high end resort, although the food and service were very good.

2. So with that said I feel the complaints are really about money and angry about the bill.

3. I find the people who complain to the point were they bully to get a discount off their bill are bullies with a computer and quite low rent.

4. It does not live up to it's billing as a first class resort and I certainly would not pay full price to stay here.

5. On checking out, I examined the bill and discovered that on one occasion the poolside waiter had doubled the tip that we had left him.

6. (We didn't order room service, but it is available 24/7 -- note that a 20% tip AND $5 delivery fee are added to all 'in room dining' bills.

7. After the inflated prices, with an additional $5 delivery + 20% automatically added gratuity, it's funny how the delivery staff expects you to add an additional tip on the bill presented.

8. Important -- please check you bill before leaving -- Mine had a $100 charge on it and when I inquired about it -- they said I or someone I knew had asked for $100 cash to buy gas .

"Below Par and at times aggravating " Read full review on TripAdvisor 6/10/2008 Vote

9. Add to this the various room taxes, the $24 per day for parking, and the many, many tips you must shell out to the many, many staff members, and you could run up quite a bill at Bacara.
