Is it worth it to you to pay $150 a day for pool chairs?

Honestly I’ve never been to a place where I had to think about chairs and I wouldn’t want to.

But I really don’t like crowds, so I just wouldn’t pick a vacation like that.

I would pay it.

Atlantis or Baha Mar (mega resorts crowded with people…a million times worse than a cruise…where people fight for chairs).

Atlantis is terrible for this - definitely pay if we're talking about Atlantis. Otherwise you'll never get a chair, much less two or more

I HATE the chair game. It fills me with rage and I can't enjoy my vacation. If I found myself at a place where reserving chairs was the only option that allowed me to not hate my life and the people around me at the pool, I think I would pay it and just consider it part of the overall cost of staying there. $150 on $1000 for peace of mind would be ok for me.

How is staying at a crowded mega resort swarming with people fighting for chairs, waiting in long lines, limited to overpriced crummy food, stuck on the property because the rest of the island is a bit sketchy, and spending your time by the pool a fun trip?

Truly curious.

No lines, once you have a seat it’s fine, we aren’t foodies, there’s tons to see and do and I like the pool.

I think not because I rarely actually use the pool chairs to sit. Either I'm in the pool or I'm doing something else. By the pool is too noisy to read or anything else.

No

But why aren’t you going to the actual beach?

I will, but I like the pool with chair service and bathrooms nearby.

I want to sleep in on vacation instead of rushing down at 8am to get chairs, but I'm super annoyed to spend $1000 a night at a hotel where I also have to buy pool chairs.

Can you rent a cabana as an option? Way better. Usually will include the chairs, fans, food, drinks, towels for the entire day. Plus has shade.

The pool at Atlantis was the opposite of fun and relaxing. I think I still have PTSD from Atlantis.

When I heard that it’s common for people to pack a suitcase of snacks/drinks because everything is overpriced and inedible, I immediately thought that tracked.

Can you order some chairs to be delivered on your arrival? Pass them on to other travelers when you leave.
