Is there not a pool where you're staying?

I reckon you could probably get away with using the pool, I doubt anyone would check. However, as you're going soon, I'm assuming January or February, the water is likely to be cold unless it has decent heating.

There may be wrist bands for people stopping at the holiday village due to them having an all inclusive option. I've just come back from an all inclusive and saw people be kicked out for not having a band on their wrist.

I've just looked a few reviews and it looks as though all inclusive guest have to show a card at the bar. This means no wrist bands so should be easier for you.

If you're going to buy a drink or meal I shouldn't think that there'd be a problem - you could always ask rather than have the shame of being asked to leave :eek: I'm sure they'd be glad of the business. Also a few years ago in Turkey other people were allowed into our hotel to use the pool.

Hi, we went to this Holiday Village in May last year, if you are talking about the pools with the pirate ship etc in, they are across the road from the actual hotel, linked by a bridge, I think anyone can use this area as there is also an entrance on the main road, but there is a charge. You will be ok to buy food drink as the hotel also offers a self-catering option so if you dont have the AI card you just pay. My only negative about this is that when we went in May the water was absolutely freezing, we only went over to the waterpark once, the pools were so cold it was unbearable, even the pool in the hotel complex itself was freezing, our 5 year old could only stay in for about 10mins, one day her lips actually went blue! The weather was glorious but you could see parents, even with older kids (young teens) wrapping them up in towels after they had been in the water for a while to try to warm them up.
