You are allowed to smoke in the lobby as well at Ren. I must admit after a day in the sun drinking Balshis then going aout for a yummy dinner I enjoy some sort of tabacco product with my night cap either cigar or cigtte. When I was there in April, just me and the misses we had a room that faced the parking lot / marketplace. There was no security patrolling looking up for smokers where as if you are in a room that faces the pool they are checking.
It's still not aloowed but they aren't enforcing on that side. But there is a chance that an annoying neighbor on a balcony nearby can report you. Just look around first.
