Jimbo:
They don't like you walking up the stairs from the Mango Bar, either. Distinctly police state atmosphere!

Sarah:
We went and a nose round while we were there a couple of weeks back.  We went early evening and there was no one to stop us going in.  We did notice that there was a sign at the pool saying it was for residents only which i thought was a bit off.  You are normally welcomed at all pools in Corfu as long as you buy a drink!

Its a funny one this pool thing.

When we were in Kefalonia a couple of years ago we had no problems finding a sunlounger.....even up to dinnertime. It was also a really tranquil pool area.
We had a couple of days in the middle where every man and his dog wondered in and plonked themselves on sunloungers. They bought a couple of drinks all day and that was it. They had around 8 kids with them and it turned into a right bunfight!! I'm not the quietest myself and I dont mind people enjoying themselves but when you're getting soaked from people whilst laid reading your book it's different!

The hotel we stayed in had it's own chapel and conducted weddings. You'd get a few of the wedding party stopping at our hotel but others staying at cheaper apartments etc. They'd turn up and spend most of the time round our pool!!

I guess it's a nice romantic notion to throw your pools open to all but it can have big downsides and p..s off your paying guests!

tonyco1:
Delfino has always insisted it's a cut above the rest and the pool is for strictly residents only -
this is the only Hotel or pool that does not welcome anyone, as long as they buy drinks/food.

Some years back we used the Mango and went to the loo upstairs.
The Bar manager then was the rudest man in town, and put many off using it.
Seems you met his wife!! - -  - LOL

afroditi:
Certainly did Tony. We weren't even intending to use the pool or facilities just request a look but we didn't get the chance. They should put a notice at the gateway stating Residents only or 'Enter at your peril'!!!!
