You've clearly never been to the tropics in January. Or at least not Cancun. When we were there last year the sexy pool was heated and was nice. The quiet pool was not, and was like swimming in ice cubes. Needless to say, I rarely ever saw anyone in the quiet pool. I hope they still have the sexy pool heated this year...
After being in the pool all day I don't think we'd spend much time in a pool at night even if it was heated...Night time we want to get dressed up and go out and party..not get back in a pool lol
Even in the tropics, it can definitely get cold at night, even more when breezy. Everyone has a different tolerance for chill but staying in for long will make you shiver.
In June and July when it is mid 90s at night, after dancing and hanging out for a few hours, a dip in the pool would be great. We've gone in the ocean a few times after midnight, and snook in the pool once successfully for about 10 minutes around 3 am before being asked to leave. And hey..its the sports pool.. we can always claim we were starting up a game of NTVB which is why we had no suits on
too funny! actually the very first time we were there was 2 years ago in Feb. it was so cold at night we had to break out our sweatshirts and jeans at night! Not what we had in mind! All week Chinos was joking that it was going to snow. So just because you are in the tropics doesn't mean anything. We've been there 4 times since and the only skin I would put in that sports pool is my big toe!
I know what you mean We just returned from another Cancun resort a couple of weeks ago and two days straight the high was 73 and lows in the 50's. It was cool but much better than the single digits at home. For some reason shots, beer and pools seem to go together quite well. If you see some guy in the pool at 4 am, drop by and say hi to me.
Solar activity is picking up and the sun is bombarding us with proton radiation at 4 million miles per hour. My hope is there will be an opening in the ozone layer just above Temptations to help heat the pools for some fun night time activities.
