Default Guest rules at sosua hotels

I am staying at the waterfront inn. With all the other policies on my door, it states that I'm not allowed to bring guests. However, my bungalow is pretty remote and I don't see how anyone would even know. Is this really enforced or just for show? It's certainly not fancy or anything. Help is appreciated!

Unless you pay them off. Better yet in Sosua find one of the many hotels without such silly rules. Sounds like a newbie in an AI to me.

Marco has said on here he puts Rockys overflow often in the Waterfront so it doesn't sound like a rule he would want for his crowd does it?

Yes, the Waterfront has been known as a "not guestfriendly hotel".

To clarify..
A client staying at the Waterfront would have to register & pay a fee for bringing in a guest (approx. 5 bucks).
As many hotels have a single price and a double price, it amounts to the same thing, but allows for added security as well.
Given the size of the grounds, they need to have some control.
The Europa does not charge extra for the guest, but charges more for the room, and they have clients register their guests at reception.
Having them leave their cedulas at reception, assures greater security for everyone.

true you can bring in the same guest daily but try to bring in different ones and you may get asked to leave.

It's all about comportment.
If a client or his/her guest, causes other patrons inconveniences, such as blasting a radio in the middle of the night, yelling, screaming, etc, there is no doubt they will be asked to leave.
I think this is fairly standard policy in any decent hotel.
Having different guests is not the issue. It's about the type of guest.
Quiet reserved non disturbing guests have no problems whatsoever.

So, should I just bring her in late at night and hope for the best or actually go to reception and all that? Thanks for the advice!!
