If you're talking about The Refuge at Sunset, that is a pay situation, regardless. I think that perhaps you are staying at Alegria, according to your other note? Alegria has it's own pool, and chairs, which you can use for free. The pool and chairs at Sunset are totally separate, as Sunset is a separate entity. Those staying at Alegria get some kind of a discount at Sunset, like 25%, but nothing free. I honestly don't know whether they charge for the chairs there at Sunset on the beach or not, as we've never used those chairs. I'm pretty sure that they do not have service at the chairs on the beach, so I figure that it doesn't matter whether you eat or drink or not.
