Perhaps for a goy... Who is comfortable using the hotels pool instead of their own private one...
Do what you like, but you are missing out big time without the upgrade (Yes, I've been there and have stayed in each type of room there)
I stayed in an OWV as well. I just wouldn't splurge the 1k or so it would cost for 4 nights.
But that's a discussion for a different thread.

For the record, I think Lucky is actually Jewish. Dan mentioned it. Although, l'maaseh, you are correct, at present, he nebech wouldn't realize the advantage of a private pool.

Now I am still waiting to see the picture of Dan putting tefilin on him.

Gary is Jewish, Lucky is not.

Either way,  no private pool on the PH OWB anyway.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Weren't there more Jewish travel bloggers besides Gary? I remember, Dan, you once listed a whole bunch of them (by their "roshei teivos").

I think there are a lot of DDFers who are comfortable using the hotels public pool. Still they prefer an OWV.

ETA: Please lets not get off topic here.... I just wanted to bring out the point.
You can say what you think when you think what you say.

These pools are what, 5 feet by 7 feet? You can sit in it and sip a beer.

Obviously hes entitled to his opinion but this is what noise cancelling headphones are for.. Next time he should put it on instead of putting it in the overhead bin. Those kids paid the same ticket he paid. They have the same right. Anyways...

When I flew J w/ a 18 month old, I sat in the small bathroom with her while she was crying b/c I didn't feel that it was considerate to disturb the ppl sitting around me who had paid a premium to have a comfortable flight.
Irregardless that I had also 'paid' for the ticket.

I would imagine you would do the same if your kid was crying in a restaurant.

It definitely sounds a bit over-hyped as reported...
