Wristbands issued upon check-in must be worn at all times. They let staff know that you are a registered guest. They give you access to the activities and facilities. You may be turned away from an activity or amenity if a wristband is not present. If a wristband is damaged, you may return it for a new one at no cost. Lost wristbands are a fee.
