Is there just one pool for the entire resort? At Carlsbad Seapointe they designate one pool as the family pool and one as the "quiet" pool. Doesn't always work because everyone's idea of quiet is different, but it is something that your HOA could try if you have two pools.
Pools just aren't a quiet area most of the time. There's the noise of kids (doesn't bother me too much), the noise from other people's music (drives me bonkers), noise from folks talking or laughing (doesn't bother me at all) etc. I have to set my expectation bar to a realistic level when I get to the pool. Since it's a shared space there is always some give and take. Personally I would like it to be silent - not going to happen, lol.
This is a small resort that is on only 12 acres and one pool, plus it’s oceanfront.
Recently they moved the shuffleboard courts to the second tennis court that was rarely used and built in a nice grilling area with picnic tables.
If the few associations got together with money, now that some of the grills were moved, they could always expand out and add a kids pool, or reconfigure the cabana area that they hold twice weekly activities orientation under, there is room that way also, but the kids would still be extremely close either way.
I doubt another pool will ever go in, since they are doing a major multi year complete interior remodel and anything they can do to prevent noise between units/floors as much as possible with the style of original construction of the buildings. We are already paying for that with yearly increases, that they are trying to keep as low as they can and still do this major and extremely beautiful remodeling of the units! (Just wish the budget would allow for a 3/4 Bath in the loft units, since they are extremely large and private, plus put a w/d in each unit. Only one small association and whole owned units added w/d, but it’s still not bad, since the laundry room is across from each elevator in each building except K which is either studios or mini suites, plus they don’t have far to walk to the next building behind the lobby.
They added that building quite awhile ago when they built a lobby and concierge room. They were going to put a restaurant in where the units are, but since you can be a block walk to several restaurants and shops, it wasn’t a feasible plan, so they were able to sell more timeshares!
The kids were breaking every rule posted on the large sign except glass and alcohol. I don’t want to hear someone else’s music, it’s against the rules anyways, plus I do have headphones if needed.
I just didn’t appreciate getting blasted in the head with a water cannon when I was a good 50 feet from the pool under the cabana just arriving to get a chair to put my dry bag on, so I wouldn’t take up a lounger. I don’t recall seeing any small tables this time.
The music actually came on another day with a new group that just checked in. I was on my way out anyways by that point. (The one quiet day I had at the pool!)
