When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

taxe de séjour

J'ai immédiatement pensé comme vous en voyant la question.

En cherchant un peu sur le net :

Odalys - Residence Val Claret
A small resort fee (taxe de séjour) is payable per person per day, paid locally to the residence reception.

En y réfléchissant deux fois, ce n'est peut-être pas si simple. Certains sites parlent à la fois de "resort tax" et de "resort fee". La première serait donc la "taxe de séjour", l'autre peut-être des "frais de service" permettant d'accéder à tel ou tel service :

Resort fee. An additional charge levied by some hotels, ostensibly for the use of various “resort” amenities, regardless of whether the guests uses them or not. A controversial practice, whose critics claim amounts to misleading pricing.

When I checked in, I was told I would have to pay a $10-per-day resort fee to cover the use of the pool, exercise facilities and the “free” newspaper.
