The pool is cleaned and chemically balanced every week for your safety and comfort, however on rare occasions it may be necessary to apply extra chemicals to the pool to maintain safe and correct chemical levels. Should this occur during your stay it will be necessary for you to be out of the pool for a period of 12-24 hours for safety reasons.
Do not allow unsupervised children to use the pool, spa, garage or any such areas.
Items such as clothes, toys etc. must not be left in the spa.
