Splash!

Just don’t look at what’s floating in the water…
Good band. Cheap-​strong drinks. Locker rental.
Classic PIB summer spot.

The drinks are pretty standard and the prices are in line with all the other bars in the island. However, the pool is disgusting. Sat by the pool for nearly two hours and in that time I had the misfortune to watch many a disgusting floater go by. Also, the water is slightly (very) green and you can’t see the bottom of the pool. Even the guy at the front desk of the Grand Islander will tell you to stay away from that pool. GROSS!

It’s a pool bar, and it’s pretty grimy. The concept is that of your normal pool bar. Stools and tables in the water, swim around with your drinks, spill your beer in the pool, etc. etc.
There was a ton of dead bugs floating around, pool could use some cleaning. It was an alright place to day drink but there are better options in P.I.B.
Watch our for drunk older women trying to wrestle in pool on weekdays.
Wear your sandals if you’re gonna use the restrooms.
I’m sure people piss all up in this pool

People were just drinking and swimming and laughing and drinking some more for hours and hours but they never got out of the water to use the bathroom… hmmm. This pool is definitely heavily chlorinated. The white stripes of my swimsuit dried an awkward shade of yellow. Luckily a Tide bath seemed to remove most of the chlorine. But I digress. During the weekdays I was here the Splash! Club didn’t really get hopping until Friday afternoon when I left. There were only a handful of people on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. I loved the concept of the swim up bar and the drink prices weren’t terrible. Anyone can use the pool, you don’t have to be a guest of the Grand Islander or Islander Inn. You do, however, need to be 21 years old. Awesome. There is also a huge pirate ship bar. Pool also has a nice waterfall. My only issue is that the bottom of the pool could use a decent scrubbing and the top some skimming. I really dislike chilling in water filled with Mayflies, human hair, and random bits of trash. Gag. Worth checking out but I recommend a weekend if you want to party with others not part of the gang you brought with you.

I managed to have a pretty good time here. There were a lot of people standing around in their own piss which was pretty cool.

This pool is pretty cool.
It features «The World’s Longest Swim-​up Bar!» Minus the fact that the water is green from wasted people pissing in it – and it smells a lot like Sea World — it was decent and fun. It was loud and very party oriented.
I was rritatated that pool towels were not offered — as I was a guest of the Grand Islander (the hotel this is attached to). I was very foolish and didn’t remember what Towelie, of South Park fame, told me. I didn’t bring one. «Always bring a towel!»

Okay– what a great concept! I loved this place. Harder to enjoy when sober, but still a good time.
Let me set the scene for you:
Live music above you on a balcony, beautiful sunny day, sitting at a bar drinking a cold one (insert your drink of choice here) — in water! Loved it.
I was a bit apprehensive when i arrived given the incredible amount of chatzkie’s but it wasn’t so bad after all. However, I would recommend preparing yourself in advance to wait a while before being served as there are times when the service definitely lacks.
This was probably the highlight of my weekend though as we met so many great people!
