To heat the pool or not?

[arielrocks]

We are going on 20/5 for 2 weeks and taking a 4 and 2 year old. Would you heat the pool at the villa? Or not?

Always for me

[munmun]

Yes, heat

[pastylad]

Yes I think I would

[ziggyzag]

We are going around that time, I'm not heating the pool.

I would - especially for the little ones - they get very chilled very fast in cool water.

Can’t offer advice, but was wondering how long it takes for pool heating to make a difference? Is it just a couple of days, or are you paying for heating that realistically the next guests will enjoy rather than you?

[Tetrarch]

Responsible owners will turn the pool heating on 24/48 hours in advance of a guest arriving (depending on the time of year) so that the pool is up to temperature on arrival day.

I doubt this happens when booking an 'allocated on arrival' villa package holiday as accommodation is assigned at the last minute.

Not needed at all, with temperatures in the 90 s the water will be warm enough. You may feel it slightly cool on getting in but that is because you are overheating. Also at that time of year if it’s warm the heater won’t respond anyway.

Crikey we've been in April and not heated the pool - it's personal preference I guess. I would rather save my money though
