Yellowbird Sea-Tel

That is a shame if people were abusing the property like that. I hate to see people leaving garbage, and throwing cigarette butts in the sand, etc. I always thought it was well understood that one would spend and tip at the places they like to spend time. I suppose some bad actors must have lead to the Yellow Bird implementing the policy.

Although we have never stayed at YB, where we have stayed I've often been taken aback at the behavior of people who are not guests at a resort but show up in the morning, grab loungers, and claim prime spots by dragging the chairs there and piling their stuff on them. This is somewhat offensive when it's guests of the resort who don't actually stay on the beach throughout the day, but definitely so when it's someone staying at a cheaper place on the morass side. I can certainly sympathize with YB's new owners attempting to prioritize their paying guests without completely shutting out the general public, and I think the $20. with a $10. bar credit rebate is quite reasonable.

During a stay at Tree House, a Jamaican family of 4 arrived and sat in chairs obviously being used by guests of the hotel who were swimming at the time. When the guests returned they refused to leave. It took security to make them leave and they took the guests towels with them. Replacement towels were $12.
