Do you have a favorite pool to go to?
I'd like to do some lazing this weekend.

I found the staff very pervey. Some don’t feel that way though.

For swimming I loved The Place.
For hanging out, I liked the rooftop pool at Patio Hotel and Urban Resort - no idea if it’s still open, obviously. (Elsewhere was the place way back in the day though)

Dib Club is a nice spot for chilling by the pool with drinks

I'm used to being stared at, that doesn't bother me.

I go there most days and the pool is nearly always empty, even at weekends. It s very small so if you want to do laps is not the best place. The pool at Himarawi might be better.

As for pervy staff, total bollocks. The pool has no staff around it. Any food and drinks will cost you an arm and a leg, you are probably better off at Dib Club.

p.s.. I saw gluten free Pitta bread yesterday and thought of you!

well, it was my experience at the time (which is over two years ago probably). so 'total bollocks' is a bit strong. Yours is more current and different. that's fine but doesn't make mine bollocks. anyway... I didn't like the vibe of the place at all.
