A bit ridiculous in my opinion but the Ritz charges $25 each for a fridge and microwave per day in addition to there already steep resort fees at $85 a night. They also charge around $36 plus service per person per meal to heat up food.
Just say you need the fridge for medication and they will give it for free

Meat shouldn't be a problem in normal quantities.

Don't see much info about car rentals. With free parking at hotels and the cheap rates, I would pay the same price for a few day rental as I'd pay for a two way taxi trip from the airport to the hotel.
I'm aware of the "international license fee" so if be paying like an extra $20
Are there any mandatory insurances or hidden fees that would be forced on me at the counter? Currently have a reservation at Alamo.

I didn't rent a car, so not familiar. But keep in mind that they drive on the left side. Also, depending if you wanna do a lot of your own exploring or not, most jet ski, boat tours etc. Pick you up from hotel, and the buses on the main roads are like $2.
