exspense when at a hotel, whereas pool use is INCLUDED.
A fairer comparison would be INCLUDED breakfasts. We pay for them and expect to attend them. How impressed (not) would we be if we couldn't get a seat for brekkie because outside paying patrons were eating in them?!
When I book accommodation I consider the pool area, more than the room, as that is where I will spend more time.
If the lounges are not available for me because outside paying patrons are using them, then I will jutifiably be pis_ed off!!! and do what they do next time - stay cheaper and pay to use a nicer pool each day!
Travelling in peak times, its bad enough as it is trying to get a pool lounge some days.
