I look for lounges that have only towels on them, next to or near occupied lounges.

Usually the answer is that the pool sitters been there 1 or 2 or 3 hours, and they have not seen the empty chair people, so go ahead and enjoy. So we do. The hotel has many posted signs prohitibing 'saving' of chairs, so I have feel no guilt taking an unoccupied, towel-reserved lounge chair. And I've never been 'confronted' by the chair-reservers.
I do the same thing. I take the pool towels or any personal property to the pool hut and turn them in. I've been questioned by a "returnee" only once and that was three hours after I "took possession" of the chair. When I explained where his stuff was and what the rules were, he didn't appear happy but didn't complain.
