And so you dont misunderstand us. If they want us to wait until 6 to put towels down, that is fine, but when we check in and they ask us (is this your 1st time here?) and we say no, this is our 11th time in 5 years you would think that they could tell you the new rules.
I went down about 6 - 630 and did not have a problem getting seats for us and our friends. If you come down after 730-8 you can pretty much forget it.
That guard probably did not speak english. My husband got up to put out towels out at 5:30 and when he did the guard was yelling at him in spanish and pointing to his watch. My husband had no idea what he was trying to tell him. He didnt remove them though. Next morning other guests told him what was up
