Pool Heating - The heater is an electrical/mechanical device, as with any mechanical device it can be subject to electrical/mechanical failure. In such an event, every effort will be made to repair the heater. If the guest has paid for pool heat, then we shall refund only the days you are without pool heat. We cannot and will not refund for anything that has not been paid for. Pool heating is also subject to weather conditions, the colder the weather the longer the heater will take to warm up the pool each day. If guests request pool heat to be turned on after their arrival they must be aware that it will take time for the pool to heat up but payment is required from commencement. The blanket should be used to cover pool when not in use, especially at night to help to retain the heat. Guests are not permitted to touch the pool heater controls, any sign of tampering will result in the pool heat being turned off and you will forfeit your payment. Any problems with pool heating should be reported to the management company immediately. We strongly recommend that all guests obtain their own travel insurance.
