Almost posted this as a reply to others under Trip Reports but thought it'd be better here...
bbrz or anyone who's been...
It's probably common sense due to the layout that the jacuzzi area at Pearl will be unavoidable for the most part as it's nearly the same ground level as the pool and right next to one another. At RM one would not have to go past (up to) the jacuzzi area there and see sex etc. it they so choose not to witness it.
With that said, I thought the concept of the jacuzzi area is to be the same as RM. Open forms of affection, touching, oral and any form of sex etc. around the jacuzzi when others are present. Do they plan to have hours that it's open like at RM? How the heck are they going to do that, rope the area off...lame, rhetorical? I suppose.
The jacuzzi area is supposed to be one of the acceptable places for anything and all things. Does this mean anytime of day because of the layout? Low occupancy may be preferred for some couples who want to have sex in public in front of only a small number of others, including staff since we know they are there regardless. However, was the bartender and other staff just being courteous? Did you imply to them you wanted to engage in PDA/PDS. If not it makes me think they uncomfortable with the PDA/PDS that is obviously going to take place there.
The logistics of the jacuzzi area at Pearl makes me wonder more than I'd like. Are others thinking the same in general about the jacuzzi?
