I'm sure a resort won't be hurting for any money by you jumping into their pool or hot tub. And maybe using shower facilities.
Haters are going to hate.

Maybe it's just me, but I could write pages on the above in this threads context. But I fear deaf ears.

Re: How to sneak into beach resorts
Wow! Some great ideas in this thread.
Can we rename the thread to don't be a rube?
While not a resort this thread reminds me of being in Bocas del Torro. One morning in a hangover fog I went to a "French" cafe had a croque monsieur (ham grilled cheese except it is baked) and coffee. 10 dollars later and thinking that was croque in the fact that it was barely edible and the coffee sucked to I noticed some locals getting breakfast from a food cart on a side street. The next morning in a similar fog I went to the cart for breakfast. 50 cents later after the best breakfast I've had of coffee, hard boiled egg, and fried bread not only did I realize tourist fare sucks but the locals do not see the majority of money us tourists pay for the privilege.
I say if using a resort tip the local bartender, but let the cruise ship people pay the exorbitant prices for the privilege

Re: How to sneak into beach resorts
You sound ridiculous. I just feel like the resorts charge exorbitant amounts for certain things. I used the phrase "haters are going to hate" because I thought it was funny. I don't speak that way.
I guess I should have said, "people are going to make comments about your actions based on their opinions on how you should behave."
But shame on you for making fun of people that do not speak as eloquently as you may like. I'm sure you have perfect grammar, are excellent at crucigrams and won every spelling bee growing up.
But your internet etiquette needs work, you pompous yankees.

It sounds like a fair exchange... dinner and a show.
Me aud grandmama loved David Niven (even met him once; she was a musician), and raved about "The Moon's A Balloon". So thanks for that.

I find that a very racist attack.. accusing an English/Pakistani who lives in Portugal of being a 'Yankee'...
May your camel always spit at your mother in law...
Or as this is a sailing forum... may your wind be up your ass..
And... if you were not so stiff you'd realise I was poking fun at the sun burnt hordes.. do it All de time in de Carib...

Where can I find a camel to spit on my mother in law!?!? Just thinking of it brings a smile.

Re: How to sneak into beach resorts
Sorry Stugots, for writing things that have nothing to do with your thread. It just bothers me when people make jabs at people over the internet like a 15yr old kid. I'll go back to my boring day of work now.
I hope some of these post actually help answer your question.

Re: How to sneak into beach resorts
As we say around de globe: Youth is wasted on the young. Let's hope he grows out of his rationalized conniving ways. Most of us do.
I'd prefer using the other end of the camel for my mother-in-law.

So how does that justify sneaking on to them? What about expensive restaurants that cost hundreds per person. Those are exorbitant does that mean you can dine and dash?
If you don't agree with their pricing DONT USE their services. Pretty freaking simple. Stuff you should have learned in kindergarten but I guess you were sick that day.

Re: How to sneak into beach resorts
C'mon. The title to the thread is "How to sneak into beach resorts".
It's like amateur con man night. Stealing a swim and a shower isn't a felony, but you know it's not the right thing to do, right? What if I come to your house for drinks, and take a shower without asking you?
It's not really even a grey area, is it?
