We have been lucky in that most of the times the places that we have stayed at will have chairs and umbrella somewhere in the unit or villa. When we checked in or meet the owners they just say look in the closets to see. Even have had coolers for our use. One place packing on our last day we notice a folding door beside fridge and it had chairs, coolers and beach umbrella, wish we had looked on 1st day. Also I believe there are some beach bars on Orient that has free chairs if you eat there. Unless you are flying with free baggage fees I would not haul chairs, just my opions. Good Luck.
