Just for the record, the island is desperately trying to recover and if a Resort is offering this option, personally I think ‘good for them’ caveat being - but NOT if it interferes with paying guests enjoymentbof the resort.

We were checking out of ElZafiro the next morning anyway but late Wednesday afternoon we watched the beach attendant setting up and squeezing in almost every lounger they owned. Based on the number of loungers we saw occupied each of the days we were there and not knowing they did this, we thought Tim, the beach attendant had to be really bored. Until that night when our waiter at dinner explained they had over 100 confirmed reservations through one of the cruise lines. For sure, had we been staying there we would NOT have been too happy but I get it. They have to do whatever they can do to stimulate their bottom line and stay afloat until the island is fully back to its norm.
