Sometimes, you just need to get away - and this past weekend, was just that weekend that I needed to make one of those spur of the moment trips!
This time during my stay at Monte Carlo, I was able to visit the Pool area as they just recently opened up again.
AMBIENCE:
I love the fact that there is a lazy river, a sand area where you can lay out/play volleyball, and a wave pool. There just seems to be a selection for everyone here. They also space out the lounge chairs so that they are not all cluttered in one area. The fact that there is a lazy river reminds me of something from Wild Rivers, which is fun if you have children. For me, having a wave pool is perfect since I am still learning how to swim and can't go into deep waters (don't judge!) =p
FOOD QUALITY:
There is nothing better than having drinks and food brought to you while you are lounging by the pool. The coffee I ordered was right from Starbucks - delish! Andrew D. and I also ordered a Blue Cheese and Buffalo Wing pizza. The pizza itself was a little on the dry side, but I can't really complain - food is being brought to me!
SERVICE:
Service is great! From the guy that checks you in, to the girl handing out towels, to the girls that are taking down your drink/food orders. Everyone on the staff is happy to help and are efficient! Love it!
Here are some helpful tips if you plan on visiting Monte Carlo Pools:
*Tip #1: Arrive early so that you can pick out a great spot. Pools open at 9:00 am.
*Tip #2: $10 all day for the donuts that you can rent for the pool.
*Tip #3: You can't bring any outside drinks (not even water) or food into the pool area - so toss them out before you enter.
*Tip #4: DON'T forget your sunscreen. I had the pleasure of paying $15 at the store of the lobby for a little bottle of sunscreen :(
OVERALL:
Great service and great pool area. I will definitely be back!
