Dinner reservations only for members. Wow that's really F'd up.
We pay just as much money to stay there as members if not more and they treat us like beggers on the street!! WTF!
What next... members only in the hot tub and disco?
Brilliamt just brilliant business decision.

Funny thing…we are not members and have gone to Pearl once or twice a year since 2012. Last trip no reservations were available between 6pm and 9 pm, BUT if we committed in advance to buy a bottle of wine, we could dine at whatever time we liked. FWIW. YMMV.

No, no you don’t.

I am just curious... has anyone just flashed a $20 to the lady and then asked for a reservation.. I find I get the pool chairs we want for our visit with a well placed ( bride ) tip. and we are not members.. but we do go there alot..

Apologies if this was stated already, but does this also apply to Suki? We are landing fairly late in the day our first day and just wanted to have a time set to get dinner once we got to the resort, so we were just going to make reservations at Suki the first night.

yes it does, although we couldn't make a reservation at Suki, we popped in at 6pm and asked when they would have a table for us, they offered us 7pm, back. went to the Hot Tub and dragged my better half and some friends out and we were there for 6.55, the table was ready at 7.10 and a lovely night continued.

My point is that even without a reservation it is worth popping there when they open and they'll likely fit you in at some point.

Of course if you're members, the butler will do it if you let them know on arrival

A question about the reservation issue...we are not members but have booked an upper-end room in April...the Master Suite with Plunge Pool. Will that make any difference?

We returned recently and saw a band color we had not seen before - gray. We spoke to the guests and this was for the Master Suite Plunge Pool rooms. They had a butler, so would expect (but don't know) that you could get reservations.
