Seeking trip reports for midnite pool

[mark n lin]

Feedback needed

[Griffrhys]

It's the sports pool and bloody freezing, in the whole week we saw 1 person in there. Just too damn cold for us.

[canucks23]

All reports I've heard state it's a big failure. It's basically the sports pool that you won't be kicked out of. As well everyone says it's far too cold to go in.

I hope it gets warm by End Of February

[kevko05]

are any pools heated ?

[northtexan]

Yes one the sexy pool

[MichiganCity2]

Well that's sad......night time activities are sure lacking there. Especially with no hot tub to relax in.......

[Griffrhys]

Heck no the night time activities rock, we only looked at the pool after leaving the Patty O lounge at like 2 or 3 am.

[MrandMrs,Deeds]

Who has time for the pool at Midnite? Also I require flotation devices during the daytime to ensure my safety.

What's wrong with 2 or 3 a.m. ? It would be so nice to sit back in a hot tub with good company and your favorite beverage for an hour or two before heading to bed.........ahhhhhhhhhh

You need a jacuzzi room or need to make friends with someone that has one...lol

If the sexy pool is heated and people are looking for a 24 hour pool, why not take a late night swim there?

I like that idea

[Andre]

I honestly don't know who the genius was who came up with this Temptastic pool idea, but they obviously don't go out after dark or swim. The pool is freezing during the day and certainly won't get better at night. Maybe summer will be different but right now to advertise this is frankly stupid. A large hot tub (20 person) might work better but I know many people have an ick factor about all those bodies in hot water that doesn't get changed often. Premier members do have a small hot tub (6 person) on the deck above the restrooms at the sexy pool but they throw you out at 7pm. I will be talking to the resort people today to see if they have plans to heat the sports pool or just abandon the idea.

Has to do with Noise control , they do make it sound like so much fun in their add though .

They load up the sexy pool at night with all the chemicals

Thats the story isn't it? I have some pretty serious doubts about just how valid that is. It would take a staggering amount of chemicals added constantly to really make the pool unsafe all night. Additionally I have seen them doing the chemicals in the early AM around sunrise. I think it is a convenient excuse to keep us out when they do not want us in.

The midnight pool party was a hoax from the start. We all saw that coming and it is just one reason why TTR marketing stinks. They are always bragging on something that is a hoax (singles week etc...)

However, TTR is still the best party. AND NO CHILDREN!!!! We are looking forward to seeing the new entertainment staff.

Im no expert on chemicals but all my kids have been lifeguards and responsible for chemical balance. If I remember correctly they would check the ph, chlorine etc every 4 hours and add chemicals if needed. Swimming was not affected unless some baby do do'd in the pool and shocking was needed. Then there was a time of a few hours before swimming was allowed again. As far as hot tubs I have one and about the only chemicals I continually monitor is alkalinity and bromine ( chlorine). Bromine has to be added maybe every other day and alkaline weekly or so. It should be easy then for them to keep the sexy pool open at night...right ???

Absolutely correct on the excuse assumption.

Thats a bummer. Thats the main gripe I had when we would come back still hot and sweaty from dancing. No pool to cool off in. Unless you are up for security saying "no swimming,blah blah....."
Hedo cleans its pools two times a day, adds chemicals, drains hot tub each day, etc.. So is not impossible.
Just is nice after to chill out, and have bar service, poolside in the wee hours.
Maybe May we will try to revive it.

At Temptation now. Sports pool is the all nite pool. talkTed to management yesterday. They have no intension of heating the pool. I guess they did not think it through. They have a fear of liability with people drinking all day and night and then going for a swim. No lifeguards around. A good idea on aper but not in reality.

[Donald]

I know how to warm it up.

[xraider13]

I hope they keep the idea for summer time. We usually go in June or July (keeping fingers crossed for this year) and the water is GREAT at 2:00 am... been kicked out of there a couple of times

[kevko05]

Do the unheated pools warm up at all by mid march ??

[blh902]

Not sure about mid March when we are there. Last Feb they were chilly during the day. Hoping that extra month makes a difference.

[Laid Back Lenny]

What TTR really needs is several large real hot tubs that would stay open late into the evening. They would be great on a cool evening. Probably the reason they don't have hot tubs is so they can market the Jacuzzi rooms.

They're ok--but not super warm. By mid to later day they can be nice--but we hate cold water, so the heated pool is the way to go!!

[mrmrsranger]

christ, there in the tropics, how cold can the pools be....
