Visitors to a gated community, ok?

[fun2behad]

Hi, we (family of 4) will be staying in a villa on Emerald Island. My brother and his family will be staying at a villa in a different community. I would like my brother and his family to come and visit us at my villa for a couple of hours (not overnight). EI requires a passcard or something similar (?) for entry so if I inform security in advance do you think they would grant entry or do I need to inform the owner/management company? Wondering if anyone else has any experience of this? No big deal if it's a 'no' for insurance reasons etc but just thought I would ask. Thanks so much in advance.

If you tell the guys in the gatehouse, they will let them through.

How was emerald island? Looking at staying there next year. We’re currently in celebration so distances to the parks look like they will be similar.

It would help to inform the clubhouse who are coming and when..the guards will then be advised.

I would also let the owner/MC know you will be having visitors, if the pool guy comes and there are 8 of you around the pool but the booking only says 4 it will stop any misunderstandings
