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.

Hard to say as we don’t know your hotel rules 🤷‍♀️ But if no signs you’re probably ok.

Make sure you give them ‘the bird’ as you pass by 😉

:) adventure path is most certainly public.

I'm a little bit like a roomba on holiday, I like to map out the edges.

Angry (passively) villa resident was certainly vocal once we were "out" of earshot.

I can't wait to revisit the adventure path

If you have already made your decision then what are you asking

Yabu to talk about lazy rivers while I'm sitting in a hospital waiting room slowly roasting to death, if the hideous daytime television beside my head doesn't kill me first. I'd give my (possibly broken) left foot to be in a lazy river.

What are you on about.

Surely the mature thing to do is to check with the hotel staff? But in my experience, they’re private and the people staying there have paid for the privilege and probably don’t appreciate other guests treating them as a communal area.

Not sure about the rights and wrongs of using that part of the pool, check with staff maybe as I think swim up villas are typically private.

However, the writing style you have used makes you sound utterly unbearable so you probably are being unreasonable.

SavoirFlair · 29/08/2022 11:19

What has the staff said to you about where you can go, @Hollibobs123 ??

Have you actually spoken to them?

Or are you teeing this thread up so we can hear your tales of rebellious daring as you float up a river that’s for private villas only?

Crack on, I say, if there is no signage.

LampLighter414 · 29/08/2022 11:10

Perhaps you missed a sign but if it definitely is open to all then crack on. Check with the staff?
