Lazy river ownership

Currently on holiday exploring the pool area.

We decided to go for an adventure, we adventured (my wife and I) to the private villas (swim up), we then adventured back (on a nice floaty).

On the way back we heard a comment from a private villa occupant that the adventure path was reserved for private villa occupants. No signage to say can't go down it and we were quiet, just wanted to see what was up that part of the pool.

Being my good self I wholeheartedly intend to adventure there again. AIBU, I most definitely think so.

How would they even know you're not from a private villa? Are the private villa residents branded or something to make them identifiable?! 🤣

I imagine there’s a few things which give it away 😆. Chairy McChairface probably being the most obvious.

Please share (pm) me the hotel , I need a trip on the adventure path

It's a bit sad that this seems to be the highlight of your holiday.

I remember this!
If the river is connected to a pool I think it's fine.

If it is an enclosed area you might be pushing it. But how do they know you're not in one of the other swim up rooms?

😂 Nice work OP. This made me chuckle, although I’m probably offending some of the mardy arses having a go at you previously. Hopefully they’ll have found millions of other thing to moan about over the past 2 years so they’ll be less offended by your adventuring. Adventure on I say!

It was the op who reanimated the thread which I guess is allowable. Having not seen it before I'm thoroughly enjoying the concept of an 'adventure' on a lilo along a 'river' round a resort. 😂

Well, whatever floats your boat*

*Lilo, tube, inflatable chair, paddle board...

Absolutely no signage, I suspect it's mildly frowned upon but it was a stellar jaunt.

Pinko pinko does need replaced...in retrospect I probably should've started a new thread....the last voyage of pinko pinko

Ha ha. Have you ever at any point in the last two years found out if you’re actually allowed there or not? Like asked an employee? How did you get to the lazy river this time if not by the path?

We're back.....in fact this is our third time here (but only our second time up the swim lane of dreams/villas).

It was completely uneventful, there were a few looks as we appeared on pinko pinko (lilo with a slow puncture), suffice to say it's not quite the right place/time for a polite "morning" but it felt less intrusive than last time.

Mayhaps tis a sort of getting used to being a minor annoyance.

I don't think we'll adventurepath again, at least not on this trip 🙂

Ah. I'd wondered where that 'merry hell' poster went to. Frangi-panni something or other.

Good afternoon all,

We've made the decision that while we are to completely free to use the villa adventure path we probably shouldn't. In other sad news.....

Our floaty (chairy mcchairface) suffered a slow puncture. He survived the previous holiday but alas this country will be his final resting place. He was a good floaty.

Backup floaty will be engaged tomorrow, he is more of a laydown mclayface and doesn't quite have the social capital of chairy mcchairface.

We did see angry villa resident yesterday (DP pointed out) at breakfast. Decision was made to eat our eggs and head to the lazy river.

I think all in all, the correct decision.

Still.........we have many days to go, maybe laydown mclayface (apologies for the name, it's not very good) needs to experience the adventure path too...

@justfiveminutes if you pay extra for a swim up pool and the pool doesn’t give through access I would say it was quite obvious that bit of pool is only for those residents.

Bit like sitting on their patio which I assume you wouldn’t do
