    You don't have to pay unless you're requiring them to stay at a specific hotel/resort or having them stay with you the night before the wedding.

    No. If they choose to participate in your destination wedding, it is implied that they will be covering their own hotel stay.
    My friend got married at a resort in Mexico. Everyone obviously stayed at that resort. And everyone covered their own resort costs.

    No, you're not. I think it's a known fact of destination weddings that everyone covers their own costs. I would maybe pitch in for something else to make it a little less lighter on their pockets - like maybe purchase their dresses for them or something?

    You do not have to pay.
    Now if it's really important for someone specific to be there you might want to pay for that person or you'd risk them not coming.

    You definitely don’t have to, but on the flip side it could be a nice gesture if you can swing it. Being a destination wedding, instead of giving them a thank you gift for being in the wedding that they’d have to pack and take home, you could always take care of their accommodations. But you’re not obligated to do so if you don’t want to.

    Agreed with everyone else! We have a destination wedding to Tennessee next summer and FH is the best man. We are under the impression we must pay for our accommodations! Now, because you are having a destination wedding it might be a nice gesture to pay for their dresses, or hair/makeup if this is a super pricey trip.

    All 9 of my bridesmaids have to stay in a hotel for our wedding, and I'm not paying for it. They could stay in whatever hotel/airbnb/with a friend they wanted to though.
