You are so right, some people have to spoil it for everyone. For the hotel to go to enforcing this it must have been excessive. The hotels try to keep their rates down and hope people will spend money in the resort. All hotels I have stayed at have signage up stating not to drink your own drinks and food at the pool. I have seen people totally ignore this ruling and have an all day picnic and when finished leave all the rubbish for the staff to clean up. I have always bought drinks to have in my room but never have taken them to the pool area. After reading some comments on here some people think it is their right to ignore and do what they want. Now the hotel has said enough is enough and I am sure other hotels will follow with what the Melasti is doing. If you tried to do it in the resorts in Australia you would be pulled into line very quickly.
