I have no problem with a "no outside liquor" rule but if anyone stops me from bringing my coffee out to the pool, well, that will probably be the first time I get arrested.
I mentioned that I didn’t think people in the pool should be drinking beverages in the pool
Kids should not be in a hot tub under any circumstances let alone eating food in there (!)I have seen families with snacks by the pool and none has said anything that I have noticed. It is annoying when kids sit Iin the hot tub with bags of chips and snacks and drop crumbs in the water..That I can see restricting . When we have my granddaughter we always pack her favorite snacks. I cant see them enforcing that if guests are respectful.
.I've seen posted notices poolside at a few Marriott timeshares (and hotels) that you can't bring your own liquor. At my resorts the annual newsletters say this is the reason, that it would put their liquor licenses in jeopardy.
FYI everyone, I received a call on my cellphone from a very nice young man with Marriott/Hyatt. He said they read posts on TUG and Facebook. He explained their reasons for the “no food/drinks/yetis/coolers” and was very concerned that we have a great time on our upcoming visits. Nice young man.
What is strange is how he knew my name and got my cellphone number. He specifically referenced my previous post on this thread...
Haha exactly, maybe I should have read my post!!! That would definitely explain it!! He said there was no issue with food/drink for toddlers and infants and children, but the main issue is with alcohol. Apparently the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission has some stringent rules. Most (if not all) bars in Texas do not let you BYOB (or in my case BYOGlenlivet), not just because of profit loss but also the liquor laws.I suppose it's possible they looked for the largest party in June with a week 23 ownership and your name poped up. You referenced these points in your other post in this thread.
What was the reason for the "no food/drinks etc"?
Apparently the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission has some stringent rules.
They will be seeing that guy in yellow with a tumbler of good single malt very soon!! I agree completely about JB’s, the food has always been great and prices reasonable. But anything seems great when we can get away from eighteen kids twelve and under (my wife and I abandon our kids, nieces and nephews and their kids and JB’s is a goto place for us!). And one day we (my wife, sister and cousin and husband) completely abandon HWOR and spend the entire day in Gruene at the Hoity Toit, Gruene Hall and Pat’s with a sidetrip to Luckenbach. No kids that WHOLE DAY!!!With my family at WOR last weekend. Outside JB's was a big poster showing a guy in a yellow shirt - said if if you see this guy in the pool area, check for 'smuggled Glenlivit!
Just Kidding!!
BYW, we ate numerous meals at JB's (They smoke their own meats) Prices reasonable and all the food was good to great.
No, we’ve never been there. We will be at HWOR for our annual summer kick off family chaos event.So you are not at the Hyatt coconut plantation ?

...eighteen kids twelve and under...
You are right.. I’m sure there’s a component of not competing with their restaurant/bar service. For us, it seems reasonably priced and is pretty good. I was glad to be informed about the toddlers, we have 16 seven and under. We always end up with a huge Camp Armadillo bill!!!It was nice of him to call, but I don't buy his story completely. The TABC part, sure, no outside alcohol. Ok, I agree with that. However, if you bring in a diet soda and a burger (both things they sell with a healthy profit margin), are they going to complain? They are not alcohol, so TABC would not care (I can't see you messing up a nice Glenlivet by spiking a diet soda with it).
Considering the “coin” we leave there every June, I would think at least a double!!!!Holy cow Batman, hopefully they say "let that guy in the yellow shirt do whatever he wants, he has 18 kids under 12 years old with him... In fact, go offer him a nice Glen on the rocks!"
Just curious about the TABC, you pay "local taxes" in your maintenance fees, so are you not in your residence when you are there? And certain liquor laws not applicable.
