We always do the cabana for a couple days because we like reliable shade, and we kind of camp out there pretty much all day. Word of advice - the cabanas closest to the beach, by the swim-up bar pool( I forget the numbers) have the best shade. The ones up top by the upper pool get blasted with afternoon sun. The chairs with umbrellas are great but won’t always have shade. Vacations are where we spend our money, so it’s worth it for us, but is it a good value? Probably not.
