Beach and Pool beach and pool seating policy Here at the Four Seasons Resort Nevis, we would like to ensure that you can enjoy each day without the added challenge of having to reserve your beach or pool chair on a daily basis. We have the following process in place to make your experience more seamless and enjoyable. We have seats available according to arrival date at the Resort (first check-in, first-served on a date basis) and family size. When you check-in and visit the pool or beach areas, we invite you to choose your preferred seating from those available. Once you have done so, we accord you the courtesy of retaining those seats for the rest of your stay. This avoids the inconvenience of having to get up early and put belongings down on chairs to hold them. If your preferred choice is not immediately available, you may let your attendant know and when it becomes available, using our priority system, we will notify you and you will have the option of relocating. We assign the number of seats to match the number of guests in your family. For example, a family of 4 may have 2 beach and 2 pool seats or 4 beach or 4 pool seats. We are not able to allocate extra seats. Every two seats comes with one umbrella. If you require an extra umbrella we will be delighted to provide one if available, with the understanding that we may need to remove it in order to ensure every guest has access to at least one.
