Booked holiday apt but visitors can't use the pool

[dollylucy]

Booked apt with pool
Paid in full

Now I receive extra details from the owner and only the people staying at the apt can use the pool.
I booked it so my brother and his family can visit and use the pool.
Is the owner being unreasonable or am I ?

No, but he paid £100k for the apartment, is that ok?

Koala the family apartment is next to the beach. it doesn't have a pool so book somewhere with one and let everyone pile in. it's a pisstake.

Your brother should have bought an apartment with a pool if he wanted to use one.

The pool will be designed for the number of people the apartment complex can contain. Not them and all their friends. Get a villa so you can overcrowd without affecting anyone else.

And I agree with Persian re full time residents thinking they can dictate rules to holiday makers
And they always do it before you have got your bearings and realised that they are only another resident not a complex manager or something.

No, Dame. It's not. It's completely relevant to whether the OP's original expectations were reasonable or not.

But not sure you understand 'moot', so carry on.

Yes we have the audacity to get the beach for free

Hmm, I don't think it's that cut and dried, the apartment is for four people but only two people are in it so not using all the facilities but paying the same amount. I can't see the harm in your niece having the odd swim. Could she stay with you for a few days of the holiday?

You're very rude, koala, calm yourself down.

In this instance.....THIS instance it's completely irrelevant what you think, or what any of us think really. The decision has been made, I agree with the owner, you don't. Time to suck it up, unless you have a better idea?

Perhaps it's you, koala, who misunderstands the term 'moot' in this case it's perfectly acceptable!

I've never been on an apartment style holiday so I don't think it's obvious. I think the rules should be clear when you book. Common sense would say no pool parties but I wouldn't even think that having two or three guests two or three times would be an issue

Since it is a communal pool, that is absolutely fair and to be expected. A private pool might be another matter, but I would be furious if a neighbouring appt was inviting other people to use the pool I had paid for.

No, I'm actually not. You are being quite rude by dismissing other people's perfectly relevant points.

There's this pathetic attitude on mumsnet that everyone else is a cheeky, chancing pisstaker who is out to rip others off and get something for nothing at every opportunity. I see it thread after thread: the OP is always wrong. It just gets fucking ludicrous, really.

Like koala I can't see why OP has been so 'cheeky'. We live in a residential complex and of course can have friends to visit, and they can use the facilities with us (max of 2 guests under the rules, in reality as long as they're no trouble no one is counting).

There is a lot of difference between having lots of people there all day every day, and a few people over for lunch and the afternoon occasionally.

So, I would have assumed the few people/occasionally wouldn't be a problem.

No Koala, it's my opinion. You chose to jump on others' opinions. Do you remember?

So, I say it again. The decision is made, so and let me spell it out for you, (I think it might help), this is now a moot point. Doesn't matter really what you or I think. Unless you know the owner or have any decision making sway, which I doubt.

I'm going sunbathing, if anyone's in my garden on my sun lounger there'll be hell to pay (that's a (lame) joke, for the hard of thinking)

Deathstare, I can't really argue with you without sounding argumentative can I?!

I have just reread all my posts and I am responding to points made, questions asked,if that makes me argumentative then fine.
Unempathetic? To who- the owner?
I am an apt owner so I can relate a little bit.

Bad tempered? It's very frustrating when you think no-one understands your point of view, and you're not getting your point across ,so I may have been impatient with Amandels- but she really hadn't read the thread, or just missed my points.

I do understand your point of view - I still think you're wrong

Don't worry, dolly. It's that old saying that I'm sure applies to a few people here: I'm a lovely person, just a dick on the Internet.

I get you're frustrated but there's not a lot you can do apart from offer to pay a supplement or something, I wonder if the owner would go for this. My gym offers guest passes at a price, something to consider?

To recap
I realised early on that insurance and overcrowding could be a reason, and I stated that.
I continued to answer questions and respond to confusion- re numbers etc.

I became a bit impatient with people saying the same thing.

My point that as a residential private letting I thought owners rights would be transferred to renter was overlooked by people imagining pool parties and granny and extended family coming to stay -for free!
Which would be a pisstake.

And now I'm a fraud or greedy for wanting a pool and the beach, and our family apartment that blood sweat and tears paid for.

Dame- where exactly have I been a Dick?

Most problems like this can be solved by asking nicely and splashing some cash.

Oh not you dolly, I was trying to make you feel better!

I said I'd never do aibu again
Now I remember why
Without fail I end up crying
I'm done now
