I agree.
We like to get a few channels with OTA or cable. Our coach has built-in WiFi so we have Internet service 99% of the time. I guess I could stream movies but I'm not too techie.
Bottom line, if a place calls themselves a resort, they should offer amenities.

curious...what is built-in wifi?
My coach has it's own phone number with WiFi and is password protected. If you are near me and you are trying to connect to the Resort's WiFi, you probably will see me listed as 'Coach #xxx'.
I can connect to the coach via my i-phone to check air conditioning, lock/unlock, check the batteries charging level, I could start the generator, etc. Liberty Coach calls their system 'Liberty i-link'. They can send updates to my system and/or check on the coach from the shop if I'm having an issue with something.
In fact, this morning I checked on the coach that is in the storage garage 17 miles away from home. It was showing that it was 88 degrees inside the coach and 83 degrees in the storage garage. I turned on the two fantastic vents to pull some of the heat out. I could turn on an air unit or two but then water would pool under the coach and it's really not needed right now.
Safe travels,

interesting. so you can use it to web surf, e-mail etc?
Absolutely, I can surf the web and check/send emails.
When my brother and his wife are in their coach and are next to me, they can connect to my WiFi too as they have my password. The Verizon package I have with the coach is 10GB per month.
I also carry a Verizon Jetpack that I take with me when traveling in the car (18GB per month). Sometimes, hotel WiFi is not that great so I'm always covered.
