Hot Tub Rules & Instructions

Your Hot Tub is for your enjoyment but is not a cooling tub. The temperature MUST get NO LOWER than 102°F.

• Please note the importance of rinsing off in the shower before using the hot tub to remove all body oils, lotions, hair spray/gel, perfumes, etc. as they will affect the chemistry of the water.
• Please be sure to add water to the hot tub if the water level drops below the top of the jet line.
• Please remember to add one (1) teaspoon of the provided chemical each evening.
• Please keep the hot tub cover ON when not in use.
• No alcohol consumption while in the hot tub.
• The hot tub temperature should not exceed 104°F.
• Always enter and exit the hot tub slowly and cautiously, the hot tub decks can get slippery.
• Long exposure may result in nausea, dizziness, and fainting. These are symptoms of lowered blood pressure, which may result from prolonged exposure. When blood pressure falls, less blood reaches the brain causing dizziness and fainting. Get in and out of the hot tub frequently to regulate body temperature.
• We ask that guests refrain from bringing candles, glass, rose petals, food, or bubble bath into the hot tub.
• Elderly persons and those suffering from heart disease, diabetes, high or low blood pressure and those on medication should not use hot tubs. Sitting in a hot tub dilates blood vessels, raises body temperature, lowers blood pressure or raises blood pressure depending on the individual. All of these factors have significant effects on the disorders listed above. In reference to elderly people, they are more susceptible to lowered blood pressure and subsequent fainting due to the potential loss of elasticity of their blood vessels. Lowered blood pressure stresses the heart as the heart works harder to bring blood pressure up to a good level. Lowered blood pressure and blood vessel dilation have a significant effect on medication absorption.
• Pregnant women are not advised to use hot tubs. Sitting in a hot tub causes blood to move to the skin's surface in order to help regulate body temperature and release heat. The fetus is then deprived of an adequate blood supply as blood moves towards surface areas. Hot tubing raises the body temperature of both the mother and the fetus. This is a problem because the fetus has no temperature regulating mechanism such as sweating like an adult. Elevated body temperatures in the first trimester have been found to result in neurological problems in newborns. Pregnant women can use the hot tubs if they have consulted their physicians and received approval or if they feel comfortable using the hot tub and getting in and out frequently to regulate their body temperature.

If after you have checked out (within 48 hours of your departure), we find that your hot tub is damaged in any way or has any discoloration of water there will be an $80 fee charged to you credit card for the correction of damages.
