From a 2/23/14 Trip report by K & P... Saving chairs by the sexy pool. If you don't save a chair by 8pm the night before you will not get one. There are no rules to saving chairs first come first served.
wow.. I'm hoping that's not the case in May, that's a little crazy.. I have so many beautiful pictures of the sunrise around the sexy pool. It really is very relaxing around the resort at that time lol the rest of the day/night is nothing but crazy while we're there so I need a little down time in the morning to take pictures without boobies in them so I can show the family lol
I love my morning Coffee in my lounger, somebody's dirty laundry from the night before will not hamper my enjoyment
Don't worry about it. Make friends with Cancuncare people, show up at 12 and put your stuff down at one of their chairs. Sit on one of them, and they're all so polite, they share the chair as well. That's what I've been doing for the past 3 trips. Otherwise, be prepared to get up at 5am and reserve a chair that you'll use 15% of the time you're at the pool.
Looks so peaceful! Too bad this time in the morning I'm barely getting my first hour of sleep from the night before.
We try to do a family-safe photo album too...it's unbelievable how peaceful the Sexy Pool is at like 6 AM. I usually jump in to scare the hangover cobwebs from my head and douse any remnants in black coffee.
If you save a chair around the Sexy Pool, and you aren't in it, I will sit there if I've a mind to do so. Offends the legal prejudice against waste. I ain't gonna make a big deal when you get back, that's not what I mean. It's just that "saving" a chair, which you are only going to use for maybe 5% of the day is a big waste. I get tired easily and when I want to sit down, I don't want to sit ON someone, but I will sit on a chair with nobody in it in order to chill and talk to someone for a bit. I mean, I'll get up and give you your seat back when you return from your 3 hour nap or whatever, no problem. You just might find me -- or someone of like mind to me -- in your chair if you save it and disappear for TWO FUCKING HOURS! Sorry. Pet peeve. Proper etiquette for chair saving is to sacrifice one person to the cause, like at a movie theater. They stay, smile and wave when people ome up and wish to sit, "I'm sorry, those three are taken. My wife, her sister and her sister's crackhead girlfriend." See? That's how it's done. Totally abandoned chairs, with a cute book on them, or a pair of flipflops, or whatever, is just irritating. And yes, this past time we did notice that there wre staff members going around the pool removing towels which had been left for mor ethan an hour and taking them back to the towel hut. I've no idea what that meant as far as that "Towels are a $30 replacement if not turned in policy" but there it is.
that i s great , seen to many people not show up the people that leave the towels out at 2am, or 3 or 4 , are the ones ( for the most part ) that don't show up till 1 or 2 or 3. people that get up at 6 am tend to stay up. went almost 3 weeks without a chair debate , was worried it wouldn't show up again ,lol
I hear you Donald, but it seems that 3 weeks is too long to keep the peace. Courtesy people, courtesy. It will solve everything. Saving a chair for when YOU AIN'T THERE is selfish. Staying by to save someone else's chair when they aren't there but yu are waiting on them, that is self-less. Difference. I bet this really riles up the "I want to sit in peace and read my book around the Sexy Pool" crowd...
