On our first visit, at 7:00 am (the first morning of our vacation), when my husband and I went for a walk on the beach 80%+ of the chairs had a towels on them. The first time I was shocked, and couldn't believe people on vacation rose so early to save a chair. Needless to say by 9:30 there no chairs to be had. We ended up each day going by bus to the Cancun Palace (a sister hotel we had access to that was less than a 10 min. bus ride). We went back 2 years later, thinking this could not happen again. This time it was worse, we could never find a chair at any time of the day. Again, we went to the beach at the Cancun Palace. The second time I wrote a letter to the Sun Palace and relayed the fact that there were insufficient chairs for their guests. They said they had no idea such a problem existed and they were going to look into it immediately and promised me it would be remedied. That was 3 years ago. Haven't been back since, but I am sure the problem still does exist. By the way, on our first visit, the one time we were lucky enough to get chairs at the Sun, we went for a quick lunch (gone 20 minutes tops) and when we returned our chairs were taken with our stuff thrown on the ground!
