You might check the Conrad BB thread for a picture, of a letter, of the policy. I think one got posted when the question came up there. At that hotel, they even threaten huge fines and jail time. They claim, due to the poximity of the airport, that it was illegal to fly them. The IHG had a similar policy in BB.

On our last visit a few years back someone was flying a drone by the beach villas / house reef area for a while. We flagged it to the beach guards and they promptly located the jerk and shut it down - definitely agree very rude to fly those things around at a private resort. We ran into the beach guard later and he said the offender complained when he was told he couldn’t fly his drone around anymore. The guy also pleaded his case for still operating the drone by saying “there was no camera / video on the drone” which I found laughable / doubtful
