Pool heat required?

[heathercobbett]

We charge half price for summer heat and almost all guests take it

Personally I like the pool heat on whenever we go. I offer my guests the opportunity to have it switched on whilst they are over there if they find the water to cold, but it does take 24 hours to warm up.

As others have said we all have different preferences as to our idea of warm enough. We put in solar as I like it hot, but sometimes when the air is hot day and night, which I would expect for at least your first two weeks, then you may enjoy jumping into the pool to cool you down and refresh you. If the air temperature cools quite a bit at night make sure you put the cover on to maintain the heat. I would contact the owners to check they will turn it on mid stay, because I susspect it will be warm enough for the start of your stay

Hi Gwen - we go to Florida every year in September and have never found the need for pool heating. In fact, it is normally so warm I go in the pool to cool off. [msncool]

As others say it is personal preference and if you change your mind, you can probably pay the extra to the Management Company to get them to turn it on for you during your stay.

Have a great time

As I mentioned before, we have previously stayed in a villa with solar panel pool heat, the pool was very warm ( lovely[msnsmile2]) how will this compare with electric pool heat? Which is what I have paid for in our villa next July?

It will have the same effect in July. Most people would require electric heat in addition to solar from around November to March as most solar panels will not heat the pool up enough for this time of year when the nights get much cooler and the days are shorter

As said above. We don't usually have pool heat on until beginning of October. good idea though to let guests know that they can have it put on if they wish it does usually heat up within 24hours and they can surely fill in that time doing exciting things.

I think I must be odd because I like the water cold. I always wash my hair in cold water. Perhaps it's because I spent a lot of time swimming in the north sea as a child.

We go in August every year and find we always want the pool heat on. On many occasions, although we had requested it, we found on arrival it hadn't been switched on and had to go to the MC and remind them.

The difference is remarkable. I just can't understand those who don't want the pool heated. With children, we find we spend a lot of time at the pool and it would be uncomfortable without the heating.
