Debating whether to book a cabana at the Beach Club. They’re not cheap — is it worth the splurge or can you have just as good a time with the free beach chairs? Has anyone done both and can compare?
I’ve done both. The cabana is a nice splurge for a special occasion — you get shade, a dedicated server, Champagne, and prime location. But honestly? The free experience is still incredible. The beach chairs are comfortable, the water is stunning, and you’re right there in the action near the DJ pool. I wouldn’t stress about it for a first visit.
We did the beach bed option (middle tier) and thought it was perfect. Cheaper than a full cabana but you get the padded daybed and better positioning. If you want something between free chairs and a cabana, that’s the sweet spot.
My tip: tender early to get good free beach chairs. The first tender usually goes around 9-10 AM and you can snag chairs right near the water. Spend the money you save on frozen cocktails instead!
