I always wondered why they don't have screens on the patios doors at the resorts. I love having the door open, but rarely do because I am afraid of bugs coming in.
Any ideas?

At OKW and resorts that use standard swinging doors for the patio, probably because it would take up a lot of your patio space to allow for the screen door to be opened and closed, possibly not leaving enough room for the table and chairs.
At resorts with sliding patio doors, the reason could be that sliding screens are fairly easily damaged.
Actually it is not a good idea to leave the doors open even if there were screens, it messes with the air system and makes moisture build up on the windows.
Many hotels will have a warning not to run the air if you are going to open the doors, in fact I thought I had seen that at Disney hotels.
Also bugs, snakes, lizards etc would get in the rooms.
I was just going to say, there are probably very few days that the majority of people would want their patio doors open in Florida because of the heat and humidity.Most Floridians I know keep their patio doors closed for these very reasons. Even if they have a screen room and there are minimal bugs/lizards, the air is usually so humid you just don't want it in your house.
Yeah -- us too. Temps plunged into the 60's last night and it's still a frigid 74 right now.up until yesterday, I would say we had our patio doors open without screens for the past month. any visitor here during that time was probably very tempted to leave the door open, it has been so nice.
I really hope we can keep the doors open more this winter. little cold right now, but is suppose to heat back up by the weekend.

It's a hoot going out in Miami right now -- all the tourists are in shorts and the natives are wearing ski parkas!
