What do you do when you see folks smoking in common areas at HGVC (rather than designated smoking areas)?

It usually comes Saturday to your email

don't think I have ever seen it (but could be Gmail sending it to spam etc)...

Screaming Children in the adult pool - I mean blood-curdling screaming. The kind that makes you get up off your chaise to make sure they're okay. So...

2 of us went up to the front desk to bring it to someone's attention - 3 children were using the adult pool - actually jumping off the rocks/bridge into the cove with the waterfall. They sent someone out to the deck - he walked by them and continued walking past. He did nothing. I stopped him and asked why. He said they were old enough (16) to use the pool. I said adults know not to scream as if someone is attacking you - children - at least 2 of them were under 14 - not so much. Can you do something about them jumping off the bridge and their noise level. He went back to talk to them.

Smoking... I don't care as long as it's away from me - if I can walk away to avoid it, I'm okay with "breaking that rule" -

I don’t want to change topics …. But on the children … geez, it’s crazy how some parents are raising wolves, we are at the reserve 601 in Orlando, their private pool has toddlers in the adult jacuzzi, screaming kids at midnight etc… not worth the extra points I paid for a more selective area! I so get it, but overall better than a carnival cruise… or is it

Where is there an adult pool? Most pools I see are just "quiet pools" and it seems they were breaking the rule there. I know a few properties in Hawaii have "adult pools" but I haven't really seen any in the mainland US.

I forget whether the pool at GPP in Carlsbad is called an adult pool or a quiet pool (have seen plenty of loud kids & louder adults at times, although most folks are respectful, thankfully)....

Ha! When we were first married (1969), we lived across the street from a Wonder/Hostess bakery. If we woke up around two o'clock AM, we'd smell freshly baked Wonder Bread coming out of the oven. That wasn't so bad. But every Sunday, at 2 PM, they ran the Hostess cupcakes and the warm chocolate smell was almost irresistible.

That reminds me about our life on Kauai in the 80's when sugar was still grown.
There was a shortcut in Lihue (inland at the post office down a small valley) that went by the molasses boilers.
Wife drove that way to smell the odor............but I couldn't stand it

GPP and CSR both have Adult pools. I thought adult meant 18+ ... is the definition different in different states?

I wouldn’t say 601 reserve pool is adult
But it is private for that building guest only
It’s “a quiet pool” but there are two jacuzzi areas
One adult only and the other for families etc
Regardless, no toddler in diapers should be in a jacuzzi you pay a hefty amount of points etc to be in this area … and truly it’s just not worth it when your dealing with others that have no respect for the rules etc… such a shame

And to return to the original post
The same participants are smoking weed on their balcony in the middle of the day.
Maybe it’s just that time of year

 

[MrockStar]

No weed please.

Guess, I should have mentioned it was King's Land - the AP is behind the clubhouse/sales offices. There is a beautiful cove with a waterfall and a bridge - Stunning! The "16 year olds" were jumping off the bridge railings.

We were there extensively for the last 2 weeks (at the KL Adult pool; no-one under 16 permitted).
NO kiddos jumping during our time there thankfully (good part of going in September after Labor Day; kiddos in school & hence lot less kiddoes in general)..

I would 100% call them out on it.

Last year my wife and I stayed at W57th in NYC and one day we heard a dog barking. I opened the door and saw an elderly lady carrying her little dog around. I told her dogs wasn't allowed. She said it was okay because it was a service animal. I called her a liar, as service dogs dont bark like that and you dont carry them around, she looked shocked to be called out.

Afterwards I called the front desk and made they were aware of the problem.
