We were just at Pearl for 12/29 and 12/30 before moving to RM for the rest of our week. My wife got a very bad case of Hot Tub Folliculitus (yes it's a real thing). She often gets heat rash from hot tubs or when in the sun too long so we didn't think much of it until it just kept getting worse. Went to the Dr. and was diagnosed with it. It's a bacterial infection of hair follicles. Nothing serious and it usually resolves in a week or so but can leave discoloration of the skin for months. I did't contract any so maybe its only a danger for some with sensitive skin. I've told my wife to contact Pearl and RM to tell them they need to sanitize the hot tubs but who knows if they will. So just a warning!
