Really?? I have NEVER seen that to be the case at any hotel I've stayed at, let alone a timeshare. I don't really think it's up to the hotel or resort GUEST. It's up to the management of the resort. I'm more familiar with Royal Palm, having stayed there several times, and there are just not enough chairs there for their guests that are staying there to sit around the pool, let alone people who are not even staying there. Just imagine what would happen if every guest of a resort allowed 3 of their friends into their pool???
