In Aruba, can you sit at the resort/hotel pools if you aren't staying there as a guest?

Just curious if you can sit in pool area of a resort/hotel if you wanted to buy drinks or just sit at a pool. Do you have to have an id card to enter or is it pretty open?In Aruba, can you sit at the resort/hotel pools if you aren't staying there as a guest?
You can walk into any pool area, lounge, buy drinks and food. It's not closed off like it is in Las Vegas. Part of their allure is to bring you into their facility with the waterfalls, birds and the beautiful environment they've created. It's like this all along the beach where the high rise hotels are.





The high rise area is beautiful and costly. For a better bargain, try La Cabana's happy hour, you don't get the ambiance but you do get live entertainment and a bigger bang for your buck.

You do not need any hotel identification to sit by the pool, that said unless you are at a poolside restaurant/bar, it is poor etiquette to use another hotel's pool, just because it is nicer than yours, especially during the day when their may be few lounge chairs available.


At night it is not uncommon to walk through hotels and pool areas, and no one will question whether you are a hotel guest. If you are a paying patron (at hotel bar or pool - restaraunt then it is not an ';etiquette'; issue).
