Pool at Equator Village
Pool quality is generally positive with good cleanliness and appealing features like a swim-up bar, but recent maintenance concerns and structural issues with pool exit steps undermine the overall experience.
Most recent dated reviews (May–June 2026) report positively on cleanliness and general appeal; undated claims include both strong praise and specific infrastructure concerns (vandalized pool bar, exit step condition), suggesting these issues may be persistent or recent.
What the reviews tell us
Pool is clean, well-maintained, and recently refreshed with new tiles and paint, contributing to an attractive appearance
Swim-up bar is an appealing amenity, though the structure itself has been damaged by vandalism and is reported unsafe in poor weather
Pool size is moderate but appropriate given the resort's oceanfront location; reviewers vary in their perception from acceptable to large
Pool exit steps require maintenance and present a potential safety concern that needs addressing
Water depth ranges from 1.4 to 2 metres, suitable for most swimmers but limiting for diving enthusiasts
The pool at Equator Village presents a mixed but generally favorable profile. Multiple reviewers praise the cleanliness and aesthetic appeal of the facility, with recent renovations including new tiles and fresh paint noted as improvements. The pool's size receives varying assessments—some reviewers acknowledge it is not huge but accept this given the resort's ocean proximity, while others describe it as large or beautiful. A swim-up bar is highlighted as a desirable feature. However, the experience is complicated by specific maintenance concerns: the condition of pool exit steps has been flagged as needing attention for safety reasons, and there are reports of a vandalized pool bar structure that has deteriorated to the point of being unsafe and unusable in poor weather. Water depth is moderate, ranging from approximately 1.4 to 2 metres. Without clear information on hours of access or precise water temperature management, the full picture of the overall pool experience remains incomplete.
Pool size perception and structural maintenance contradictions
Reviewers provide conflicting descriptions of pool size: one claims it is "not huge but acceptable," another states it is "large," and a third describes it as "huge and beautiful." This suggests either the pool's size is genuinely moderate but subjectively perceived differently, or there may be multiple pool areas at the resort. More importantly, positive assessments of cleanliness and recent cosmetic improvements (new tiles, fresh paint) directly conflict with reports of structural damage—specifically the vandalized pool bar being "unsafe and unusable in poor weather" and inadequate pool exit steps. This suggests maintenance may be inconsistent, with cosmetic updates masking underlying infrastructure problems.
The evidence
Both sides shown — including dissenting reviewsThe pool area was impressive - not a huge pool but who cares when you have the ocean a few steps away - clean, good quality and a swim up bar
The beautiful old pool bar has been vandalised to the point of destruction leaving it unsafe and unusable in poor weather
