At POFQ there's about as much space on the concrete at ground level as there is on the balconies...so, still annoying. It's not like Pop Century near the main pool or something in that respect...
The OP was right. There are plantings and gardens that butt right up to the concrete at many of the buildings (but not all).
Also, the chairs in the room are...cumbersome. However, there is a spot between the doors where I could see this working...
The rooms are like this (excuse my ASCII art).
[----]_/"""""\_[----]_/"""""\_[----]_/"""""\_
[----] == Window
_ == Wall
"" == Wall
/ and \ == Door
As long as you didn't block the other door (or that person wasn't there), I could see it working out ok. But, I wouldn't put them in front of the windows...that would completely obstruct the walkway, regardless of level, I suspect.
