Lazy river ownership

[Hollibobs123]

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.

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

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

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?

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.

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.

:) 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

What are you on about.

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.

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

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

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

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

@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 😬

What is a Lazy river anyway

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 😁

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

It's for adventuring, as a verb. 🤢
