Coming soon… adult pool.

The Marriott Hotel in Aruba is building an adults only pool. This sign showed up on the promenade connecting the hotel with the Ocean Club.

Just in case you’re confused as to how to dress and enjoy this kind of thing, they also posted this photo.

Anyone who has the pleasure of staying at the Marriott, let me know how this project turns out so I can update the blog here at The Bent Page.

Another pool view…

I’ve posted several views from swimming pools here in Aruba. Our next one comes from the Divi All Inclusive in the low-rise hotel area. Take a look.

Not bad, eh? This is a great location to watch the inbound ships. They pass fairly close to the beach on their approach to Oranjestaad Harbor. Of course, you’re there with a cold beverage, maybe a good book and a snack, too. Either way, it’s hard to beat Aruba’s beachside pools.

Bon dia.

Christmas by the Pool, Aruba

The Radisson Hotel on Aruba’s Palm Beach set up a wonderful display of Christmas decorations. Most cheery were the ones at poolside.

Nothing like sitting the water, sipping a cold drink, taking in the sun, and marveling at the colored lights. Merry Christmas!

Club Arias Pools, Aruba

There’s a theme going strong here at The Bent Page: panoramas and swimming pools. Some friends and I stopped in for a visit to Club Arias, a bed and breakfast operation located in Savaneta, Aruba. This is far from the other hotels and offers an alternative for people looking to get away from the bustle of the major chains. There are beautiful pools if you like to swim or just sit in the water with a cold beverage. The first pool is deep enough for diving or a fun ride down the slide. Click on the photo below to get the full view:

Plenty of room in there for you and your family and/or friends. Just off to the right, you’ll find cold soft drinks like iced tea and lemonade on tap throughout the day. Perfect refreshment without the hassle of ordering at a bar. Then there is a second pool where the water is just deep enough to keep you wet while you’re in the lounger. To go with it is a swim-up bar separated by a rock feature. Again, click on the photo to get the full view.

You can see the doors to some of the rooms in the background. Talk about convenient! Three steps and you’re in the water. I’m still having fun with this panorama feature on the new camera. It will wear off. In the mean time, enjoy the photos. Bon dia.
