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

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


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.

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.

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.

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.

Yep this is me.

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

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.
