Most I've been to only have an issue around the pool area. You can have it by your chair/table next to the pool, but not in the pool with your floating chair. Although the place I've stayed at the most, if my wife and I are the only ones on the property during the slow season we do whatever. I put my red stripe in the cup holder on my floating chair, sit back, and smoke a cigar. We just make sure we left the pool area in the same condition as when we arrived.
