Pool heating – Important information 🌡️🏊‍♂️
We offer optional pool heating to make your stay even more enjoyable, especially during the cooler months.
Pool heating is available for an additional charge of $100.00 per week plus 12% tax.
Please note that the water temperature of the pool is naturally affected by outside temperatures, weather conditions, and cooling during the night.
After cool nights, especially in winter, the pool can lose heat overnight. Therefore, it is normal for the water temperature to be well below 85°F in the morning and it may take several hours for it to warm up again.
The pool heater only works when the pool pump is running and automatically turns off once the water reaches a temperature of approximately 85°F.
For safety reasons and to protect the equipment in extremely cold outdoor temperatures, the pool heater may not be activated at all. This is a built-in safety feature and does not indicate a malfunction.
We ask our guests to consider the pool heater a comfort feature and not a guarantee of a constant water temperature. Thank you for your understanding, and we wish you a pleasant stay!

If you prefer a higher pool temperature than 85°F, this can be arranged upon request up to a maximum of 89°F. An additional fee of $25 per week plus 12% tax applies.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
