Thanks for posting and glad you are enjoying your trip so far. Sorry to hear about the confusion at Club O, but in defense of the couple sitting beside you and didn't tell you the chairs were taken, they probably decided to not get involved. We have tried to tell people that those empty chairs were really occupied when others tried to use them and were told that they would take them anyway and see what happens. Perhaps the neighbors there had previously had a similar experience and just didn't want to get brushed off. Unfortunately some people take offence to being told what to do and are rude to others. I understand that you would not have reacted unfavorably, but others have. We have seen people come around 1:30 P.M. and sit in the paid chairs so they do not have to pay the beach boys for chairs.Sometimes around that time the paid chair owners return to their units for a siesta and do not come back the rest of the day.Now you know the rules so there will be no more problems there.
