Kids in Adult pools at hotel resorts

Ah fond memories of being called a Nazi for daring to enforce safety rules as a lifeguard

This is why I tend to do adults only parts of a resort or swim up/private pools.

that being said, had this in a swim up that was shared by the 4/5 rooms along the corridor. Rooms only available to over 18’s and explicitly no children in the swim ups.

halfway through the hol, a couple get the room two doors down. Then their whole family with kids just come every afternoon to the swim up.

it was annoying as fuck 20 people just floating about in front of the room 😂. They had to go past the children's area with slides, main pools and the lazy river to get to the adults only section.

I didn’t complain cos I wasn’t in my Karen era but I probably would now. If I’m in adults only its cos I want R&R

We had that in the family pool yesterday afternoon. Pool then closed for the rest of the day

You need to get a manager at the hotel to put it in writing that children are allowed to go in the adult only pool. Also ask if you can record him/her telling you this. Then you can claim a partial refund.

Who have you spoken to? Just the pool staff? They should deal with it, but as they aren’t, I’d speak to the manager rather than accepting defeat!

Haha posted the exact same thing at the same time

Leave a review online.

Report it up the line and insist on speaking to a manager. The poolside staff are usually young and on very low pay and simply don’t want to get into confrontational situations with that type of guest.

Keep on reporting it and stress that it was advertised as adult only and that’s why you booked it.

You need to speak to a manager. Maybe the staff at the pool are worried about confrontation. Not sure what it's like abroad, but certainly in this country I feel that people on the lowest wage are often expected to deal with the most grief and therefore are more reluctant.

YANUB. If it is advertised as an adult only pool, then keep reporting to management and pointing out their own advert to them.

Last time I went abroad there was an adult only pool and the staff ensured that it stayed that way and there were signs everywhere

Seen some recently. To be fair, think it's fairly new, as in the past people were more likely to keep their kids from bothering people.
Like I don't remember kids sections in many restaurants a couple of decades ago? Because generally people aren't bothered by kids in principle, it's to do with behaviour.

Ask for a refund and head office telephone number. Give them a short time frame to sort it out. Say to them that unless they do sort it out you will be having a cigarette after dinner tonight in thr restaurant.

This. Tell the hotel manager that you want a refund, as there is no adult only pool (as advertised).

Ide be asking my rep about refunds due to not being as described adult only areas not being adult only

Report them

What did they say when you reported it? Have you escalated to a manager, and pointed out that it says that this is a child-free, relaxing, adult-only area online?

Start talking about sex or use bad language
They will soon move

I’ve been in two places like with adult pools. One was vigorously enforced by staff much to my delight.

one less so but as I also had children my ability to spend time there was limited.
in the 2nd one, a group of adults which I took to be parents, grandparents and aunt / uncle.
they justified it as their little darling (around 6) was quiet and the main pools were busy and noisy.
yes with families you fuckwits. They were told they could only stay another 10 mins and the signs were clear.

I’m not too worried about a silent 16-17yo who is just sitting on the loungers reading, with their ear buds in, or on their phone. But little ones running around is very uncool. Also uncool that the staff are doing nothing?

Because some people are entitled and think the rules don’t apply to them and their kids are so amazing that everyone should want to be entertained by them.

My SIL was like this with her teen DGS. “Ridiculous” according to her that they had to sit in the ‘family dining’ area in a pub/restaurant as they were under 18. “Look how tall they are!” was her reasoning 🙄.

No one enforces anything either. I’ve been in pubs and seen kids playing fruit machines with parents. I’ve also been at service stations and seen the same.

Are you sure they are adult only pools though? I've seen separate kids pools but I've never seen an adult only pool. Either way you just tell the staff surely.
