We spent 10 days going between Aloha and Sun clubber and then both enforced the no cooler policy. The thing that really annoyed me at Sun Clubber was you got a soda they didn't give you the can but a glass of ice with just a little bit of soda/pop!

It was cheaper to drink beer if I drank. In the past, most of the places discouraged coolers in my opinion. The beach servers really frowned on it.
