But it sounds like on weekends the ESJ pool is more of a Vegas-style party pool with bottle service and DJ's - we're looking just to relax and have it be relatively quiet, and unfortunately we get off our cruise ship on a Saturday morning.
What to do?

Is the resort fee waived on points stays? I notice it is 18% of the room rate, not a flat rate like I'm used to in other places. Really encourages you get as inexpensive a room rate as possible!
Resort Charge
In addition to the room rate, a Daily Resort Fee of 18% will be added to the room rate. This fee covers a variety of guest services, including:
Welcome beverage
Internet access
In room coffee
In room water
Unlimited local and toll free calls

Admission to BRAVA
24 hour fitness center
Beach lounge chairs
Pool & beach toys, games and activities
