Diane and I returned from RM last night, the pool is indeed 6 or more inches shallower than before. (and yes...the foam party will now be held in the pool on Tuesday afternoons. The swim up bar is basically complete and saw much use over our trip. It does provide shade over that area of the pool for those seeking the same. The dry side of the bar is incomplete as of yet. The poolside resturant is not yet complete and still blocked off with hoarding - but it looks like it will be very nice when it is finished. I believe they are waiting for the cooking equipment to arrive as they finish the interior.
A few problems with tiles on the bottom of the pool missing already (again), the stairs into the pool at the towel hut end might just be an accident waiting to happen; kinda like the entry into the Pearl jacuzzi if anyone has taken a misstep there
They have some new pool loungers that are brown with arms. Nicer than the last generation for comfort but the brown plastic gets really hot and the arms get in the way for any coochie coochie action
All in all the place is as great as ever, they expect everything to be complete in another week or so. Can't wait to get back and see it all done.
