For those of us who actually stayed at the pool this was amusing to watch as there was no security, and some days people would just stepped over the ropes before staff opened the pool to make sure they had a great spot when they returned. Everyday at 8:00 am when the pool opened, just like staying at a Caribbean resort, hordes of tourists showed up and 'reserved' their pool side lounge chairs with a towel, a hat, a book whatever they could leave behind. That was great as we wanted to get settled for the week and head to the pool. We got a premium king room and were able to get an early check in. of July Week when it was over 105 degrees, so it was hot. Yes, of course we went over Independence Day 4th.
