Water temperature: Mostly ideal, minor cool-water reports
Two reviewers (claim IDs 371523 and 374902) reported the pool water as slightly or "a tad" cold, though both noted it remained acceptable or manageable. The vast majority of other claims (33 out of 35) do not mention temperature as a concern and emphasize overall quality and appeal. This suggests water temperature is generally adequate but may occasionally run cooler than some guests prefer—a minor and non-consistent issue rather than a systemic problem.
