I hadn't gone yet this year but was greatly disappointed when I was informed at the door, that they are now charging locals $20 for the right to get in and spend more money on cocktails and food. Its not unlikely to spend $50 or more bucks on food and beverages on an average day. It is a beautiful pool and not too heavy on the party atmosphere so it had been a good option for a nearby day of relaxation either alone or with the family or friends. I/we won't be hanging at The M Pool this year. Too many other options around town.
