INHO, I hope the Royals DO strictly enforce the occupancy rule. There is a reason for this, beyond the actual villa towels, etc. If all of the villas allowed more than 6 adults, can you imagine how crowded the pools, beach, restaurants, etc. would be? I have recently read complaints about the difficulty of getting chairs around the pools, palapas on the beach, etc. NOW, so I can only imagine how bad it would be it they did not strictly enforce the occupancy rules. I think that one of the reasons the Royals are so highly loved is not only the AWESOME service of the people who work there, but that fact that it is really not crowded, for the size of the resorts (For comparison, have you ever been to the Mirage pool in Vegas? WOW was that crowded. The people were packed in like sardines. My husband and I keep mentioning how lucky we are at the Royals!)
