Have the rules changed regarding beach umbrellas set up ??

After viewing the live picture at the Beach Cove resort most everyday, I notice that people have set up their umbrellas in FRONT of the rental ones. This was never allowed, at least on those trips that I made here and at other hotels. Are the lifeguards letting you set up where ever you want even blocking the views of those who paid for the rental ones?

Seasheller,

Last year the lifegaurds were still enforcing the rule of no umbreallas in front of the rental umbrellas....

I think the rule now (at least where we have stayed) is that you cannot put your personal umbrellas up if it will be obstructing the view of the lifeguard - I think alot also depends on the lifeguard on duty in the morning when you go down to the beach. We have always gotten the rentals and people do come block our view, but when the tide comes in they have to hurry to get out of the way.
