Mallorca also has a Tourist Tax, which applies to Club Son Antem resort.
This is not charged to Weeks Owners on Home Weeks stays.
It is charged to Points Owners, Interval Exchanges…etc.

The island of St. Thomas has a fee/tax too.
I don’t think you’ll find a fee high enough that it would be prohibitive.
That's not just on St Thomas. It applies also on St John. Probably on St Croix as well.

Ocean drive is 'permanently' closed to all vehicle traffic south of 14th Place and north of 13th St. (the Pulse is just north of 14th St.). Vehicles can travel southbound from 13th to 5th and both ways from 5th to South Point Dr.

According to the Miami Herald, Spring Break 2023 also brought the following closures to Ocean Drive...

March 4-5: Fifth to Eighth streets will be closed from Saturday at 7 a.m. to Sunday at 7 a.m.
March 10-12: The same streets will be closed from 7 a.m. Friday to 7 a.m. Sunday.
March 17-20: Ocean Drive will be closed to cars from 5th to 13th streets from 4 a.m. Friday, March 17, until 7 a.m. Monday, March 20.

Thanks for explanation. For some reason MVC South Beach still says Ocean Drive is closed in front of the resort, and there is no valet parking. There is a public garage about 2 blocks away, but that's a hassle, since we will have luggage. Guess will need to see if they update that information. We're traveling mid-April.

The Miami Herald article is behind a paywall, so unfortunately can't read it.

Yes, Ocean Drive is 'permanently' closed in front of the MVC South Beach for about a block in each direction. I as wrote, from 13th St to 14th Place.
