Also, Yes, at grand pineapple. It's an accountability resource. I don't have to say when I'm coming back, only that I'm leaving. When I come in I check in at whichever entrance I happen to be at. It's their business because that's what they get paid for. Same as the guy who opens the gate.

The whole point of security is to know the comings and goings, right? I never see it as a problem, and if I never come back at least they know the last time I left the resort.

Sorry to detract from the conversation. If it's they guys job to open the gate... I didn't see why it was a pita. Just struck me, is all. Thanks!!!
Maybe it's just me and my paranoia, but I'd be worried that if the security guard wasn't honest, and you had valuables, it wouldn't be hard for them to alert an accomplice who could remove said valuables from your room if they felt they had the time to get away with it. If they know you're somewhere and will be gone long or late, it's an opportunity that can be taken advantage of.

Security is to keep me and my personal belongings safe while on the property, not to monitor your comings and goings. If you don't come back, knowing what time you left wouldn't be of help to anyone when it came to finding you. I don't think they'd even realize you didn't come back until you didn't check out at the end of your stay.
