Tired of these people..... Every morning 1 or 2 of them holding the spots for 8 people. They keep these lounge chairs all day.
Yup..... They were there last week.
That happened to us at WKORV-N, we went out at 10:00am and lots of empty chairs with no people. We moved towels off of 4 chairs and put them on chairs next to us that had towels and at 2:00pm the folks that had put those towels came over to us and asked us to move because they said it was their chairs. We refused and they dragged the towel guy over and when they announced that they put their towels out at 8:00am, he said we were in the right as he had seen us sitting in this location for over 4 hours we had food and cocktails on our table and he basically told them if they did this again they would continue to have no place to sit as its FCFS...Tired of these people.....

Security has been called once. I talked to him as well as my husband. He told me I shouldn't have moved their towels. Security actually asked me, "How would you feel if someone moved your towel?"
Um. I would feel just fine if I hadn't been using the chair for an hour.
I am fully on board with OP and against the people that do this.
But last year my wife and I wanted to hit the pool at Lagunamar before an early dinner. We went out to pool around 2:30pm and found a couple of chairs in the back (not close to pool) put down our towels and bags and got in the main pool. 30 minutes later we came out and found a couple had moved our stuff and took our chairs.
My wife and I looked at each other and then looked at them, but they wouldn't even make eye contact with me. We were headed back to the room anyway so I let it go, but really was annoying.
I guess this problem can cut both ways.
They sound pretty terrible. If they did all that and then denied everything that makes it worse IMO.Yes, that's not okay either. Two people, two lounge chairs, and actively using the pool- you should be able to use those chairs all afternoon. Of course, you also didn't yell at the person sitting on the chair, throw the chair, sit on the foot of the chair I had claimed and your wife didn't cuss and physically threaten the person who moved your stuff.
Sorry about your experience, you're right there can be inconsiderate people on both sides.
To avoid chair hogs, you might give Westin Lagunamar a try. The have a new policy against this and appear to be enforcing it...if a chair is unattended for 45 minutes or more.
This is exactly why we prefer to stay on our own Lanai. I use the pool very seldom but when I do, I jump in and when I come out, I get dressed immediately and go back upstairs to our private little place.I was in Costa Rica last week. I went to sit in a lounger in the shade (nothing on the chair). A woman yelled at me from the pool, "hey, someone's sitting there!" Really? I sure couldn't see anyone. Dealing with these morons can impact your day at the pool. I moved on. It's ridiculous how the self-entitled act. Yuk!

This is your first post. You were actually there and witnessed the incident? How did you find TUG and this thread. Funny. I am not being sarcastic or mean in any way. I just cannot believe it was that easy to find a rant about pool chairs here on TUG, if you didn't know about TUG before this. Welcome to TUG!I would like to address the misrepresentation that "redslp" has portrayed. We saw the exchange and "redslp" violated the rules removing towels from chairs. Security, the hotel manager, and the pool staff in charge of tagging all agreed that the group was following the rules. In addition, we saw "redslp" taking pictures, and see that she posted them. The one with no ones face showing is fine, but the one of the person where you can clearly see her face is tacky and rude, and should be taken down. I have seen the group for the past 2 weeks and they have been nothing but friendly. I talked with the group after the incident "redslp" initiated, they are all longtime owners and have been lucky enough to meet other owners on their vacation.
