Anyone know where you can light shabbos candles when staying at WAJ but not eating in the restaurant?
Any clue if you're allowed to use a crockpot in your room?

That's what indoor, underground pools look like.  It'll do the trick for business people to swim laps and kids to splash around, while keeping the area separate so that people that don't want to walk past women in bikinis don't have to.  They were never going to be able to compete with the Inbal, Citadel and King David on views and the pool area but at least this gives them something.
