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.

So hardly the Congo then. OP really lives life on the edge!

Show quote history

Well, you never know, they might find dead spiders or a crisp packet or a turd floating in the river to up the 'adventuresomeness' of it all!

It's a river that goes all round the resort, with a current so you can just float round and round, if that's your thing.

Not really an 'adventure' though, is it ,,, you swam and floated in a man-made pool next to some hotel cabins. 🙄

girlmom21 · 29/08/2022 11:52

Swim up rooms are for private use. Don't be a dick.

Cherchezlaspice · 29/08/2022 11:51

I’ve now read the word ‘adventure’ do many times that it has lost all meaning.

I’m finding OP spectacularly irritating, but I’m not even sure why.

SunnyD44 · 29/08/2022 11:47

OP top tip -

Posting something that other MNers will be jealous of (eg holiday) will always get you snarky comments.

You’ve also made the mistake of saying your DW, so posters may assume you’re a man.
Again something else that will get you snarky comments.

Ignore them.

Is this a 'Famous Five' themed hotel?

Is it Uncle Quentin who is being irritable about you aventuring up the Lazy River?

Are you on glue?

Christ, the human roomba 😆😆

Just be careful when adventuring with a skinful of mimosas 🍹

What is a Lazy river anyway

It's a river that goes all round the resort, with a current so you can just float round and round, if that's your thing.

It's for adventuring, as a verb. 🤢

economicervix · 29/08/2022 11:42

Why do you write so weirdly? Do you think you're funny? [Cringe]

SunnyD44 · 29/08/2022 11:41

If it’s public then spend as much time there as you want to.

Sounds like they paid for a private villa and are annoyed that the peasants are ruining their view 😁

Blowthemandown · 29/08/2022 11:40

@Hollibobs123 if it’s public, go for it. Next time with a big sign saying ‘did you know this bit is public?’ angled at the bloke, while you grin like a loon as you float past 😬

TooMuchToDoTooLittleInclination · 29/08/2022 11:39

Oh & it's a very disappointing thread, didn't live up to the title At All.

0/10

What time did they start serving the (nasty)! 'Free' booze?

Wishyouwerehere30 · 29/08/2022 11:36

The most tragic post I've ever read on MN 😂

badbaduncle · 29/08/2022 11:34

This is why I would never stay in a resort, there is no privacy anywhere, ever.

GlueyMooey · 29/08/2022 11:32

Weird post - just ask the staff or ignore or whatever.... it doesn't matter. Enjoy your holiday but forget the twee posts. I really hope you haven't posted this on your inst/tick-tock or wherever

MarmadukeSpillageEsquire · 29/08/2022 11:32

YABU for use of "Hollibobs", which automatically invalidates anything you post.

bloodyunicorns · 29/08/2022 11:30

Well, if your idea of fun on holiday is winding other people up, then I pity your partner.

Theimpossiblegirl · 29/08/2022 11:30

As long as you don't go up the steps to their balcony or get a beer from their mini bar I'm sure it's fine. How do they know you're not also in a villa?

Antarcticant · 29/08/2022 11:29

Top 'Hollibobs' tip for you: Rather than write an unbearably twee post on MN about your dilemma, simply ask the staff at your hotel. Grin
