About the pool
The pool is surrounded by gardens with statues. We use ionization with copper and silver to purify the pool. This is the same system NASA uses to make drinking water for space shuttles. Thus, we use very little chlorine. The pool is painted black with the image of two red roses on the bottom. Because it is a black bottom pool, we heat by the sun, so could be colder if the sun and outside temperatures are cooler. There is an outdoor solar shower that is also heated electrically for when solar has not been enough. There is a cabana, fresh water, pool toys, deep enough to dive at one end.
Bathroom facilities will depend on the number of guests. Up to 4 guests can use the glamping site bathroom. Anything more and a payment for a port-a-john will be necessary.
