when i said "only way to
completely eliminate is to immediately prevent/remove" i was referring to timelimits only being possible theoretically, and not really being possible practically, in terms of being a
perfect solution to the problem
immediately prevent/remove is just going a slight step further than >

in terms of actually mandating policy, and being the simplest to explain/enforce
although, perhaps there could a clarification - immediately remove upon arrival of new guest
one question there becomes variation in chair placement and therefore preference
zigzag, im not understanding re amanpuri. im interpreting what you said as this - they have tiers of guests based on arrival date. technically, short stay guests would check in and checkout before long stay guests check out, so they would never be first tier if there are enough long stay guests... especially if long stay in 6BR villa maximum occupancy (incl owners) vs short stay in 1BR pavilion.
something aman might do at some smaller properties is actually have more chairs than maximum occupancy, and then actually permanently reserve a chair for each guest for their entire stay
