Steve Griswold visits Sandals resort and finds guests staking claims on pool chairs with towels before dawn. He suggests waking early or asking a butler to book a cabana instead of fighting for loungers.

This is why I love the Italian Village. Now you can see, you see some of the chairs have towels, right? 8:00, 8:05, there's still spots, but this one is the one where the top— where people come out and claim their stuff the first. This and the new Treasure Beach are the ones where people are going to come out and claim their spots. So either get up early, or if you have a butler, just say, hey, I want a cabana, they'll get you set up.
