Tyson...I can't believe you have any previously unanswered questions....!!!!!!!

It's personal preference , but we would have pool heating in May.

You know you are going to get the usual replies and will have to make a decsion yourself!!!!!

How long is £250 for ?

Pool heating is recommended between October and March. However some people like the pool heated no matter what time of year it is, it really is personal preference and wether you like a really warm pool or not.[msnsmile2]

You big jessy!!

Never ever had pool heat and its never kept us out of the pool.

I've been February, March, May, June, September and October and even though it was a bit chilly when you first jumped in in february and March it was okay after you'd swam about a bit.

Depends what you want.

If you want a hot bath get pool heat.
If you want a nice cooling swim on a hot day then don't.

We were there in between 21st April and 14th May. We felt comfortable with the heating for the first 10 days or so but it got distinctly warmer after that and we had to request the caretakers to switch it off. In our case we were not being charged for the heating and so the cost did not come into it.

But if you are going entirely in May, I doubt if you'll need the heating. Hold on to the dough and get some more presents for the kids.[msnwink][msnwink]

Tyson your going to get both sides on this one; basicaly if you like the water warm get heating, if you like it cool don't. If you have a jacuzzi in your rental then I'd vote for heating. The pool looses heat at night so make sure you cover it.[msncool]

can you not decide after you get there?
maybe try it for a couple of days and if heating needed wait for it to heat up and pays your dosh!!
are you allowed to do that? cos i dont know!

I always have pool heating whatever time of year. I find in the Winter the temperature too cold to get in and in the summer the difference between the air temperature and the water temperature makes the water feel too cold so the warmer the weather the colder the water feels. It may seem expensive but imagine having an immersion heater on 12 hours a day warming up that amount of water and you start to see why it is that much. When you weigh up the total cost of the holiday the £250 is a very small proportion but it could make the world of difference to your stay. I wouldnt risk spoling the holiday to save such a small percentage of the overall budget.It is a holiday after all.

There may be an MC callout fee to pay if you don't have it switched on at the beginning of your stay as they would have to make a special journey to turn it on. A lot of owners have a minimum period for pool heating also.
