According to the Manager's newletter at the CDM website, CDM members including Ambassador can no longer reserve chicki's on the ABC side before 8 am.

Guess its getting a little crowded..

I can't say I'm unhappy about that. Heck, in February there are more blue towels then green towels, and it was causing lots of bad feelings.

I was wondering if something specific has prompted this. Did you read the newsletter last year with the article specifically devoted to chair saving on the beach? And how one guy would take the chairs back to his room and padlock them to his deck?

The one other thing I wish they would do, is pick up towels if no one has been near them in two hours..

No, don't remember that one... but I don't normally read the CDM newsletter. However, a couple years ago, a gentleman who thought his "green" was better than everyone else's, bought chain and a lock and padlocked chairs to a chickie at the ABC pool... he'd do it before he went to sleep at night. It was the same guy who the year before thought he owned that same chickie, and when we took it one morning, he waited until lunch when no one was there, and threw our things in the bushes... my brother, a very non-combative person threatened to pick this guy up and literally throw him and his stuff in the pool. Needless to say, this chickie war went on daily, but we were the victors. Anyway, with this chain and padlock thing going on, a group of us decided to buy bolt cutters since our complaints to management were going unheeded. It was the battle of the bolt cutter against chain and padlock. I say this with all the modesty I can muster, but once again the bolt cutter gang was victorious!! We all decided that the following year we were going to bring chains and padlocks, become the "chain gang," but that never came to pass!! lol

I dont have my timeshare there, but I think it is horrible that management didn't do anything about people chaining up chairs & chickies. It sounds very extreme and against the resort policy!

Geez, I hope you haven't given anyone at LaCabana ideas!

When I Was There In Jan. And Again In March People Were Putting Chairs On Their Decks At Night If They Had The First Floor. The Whole Thing Is Crazy. I Am Going In Jan. For Two Weeks And Don't Plan On Getting Up At 4:00 Am To Get A Place To Sit. I Am On Vacation And Enjoying The Island So I Will Have To Take My Chances. With The New Rule At Abc The Cdm People Won't Be Sitting There Because By 8:00 They Will Be Full. Although Last Time I Was There We Had A Number Of Abc People On The Cdm Side And There Was Room To Sit On The Abc Side.looking Forward To Aruba And Don't Really Care Where I Have To Sit. Theresa
