Same with my GF. We were at the sand beach pool a couple of years ago and this lady engaged us in conversation. She said she preferred the sand beach pool and called the Villa Pool the "boring pool". Now, for anyone who never stayed at Portofino, the Villa Pool has to have one of the most elegant, beautiful & luxurious settings of any pool, but its generally very quiet since the kids & teenagers usually hang at the sand beach pool. Villa only has a smattering of people mostly over 30. Well, my GF's umbrage was really raised at that comment and she proceeded to loudly argue the merits of Villa. She still brings it up all the time and readily admits she loves the Villa Pool(which she sarcastically still refers to as the boring pool, with a chuckle) and greatly prefers it over the larger sand beach pool....So, we too will be at the Villa Pool for many hours. I'll be wearing one of my many light colored soccer shirts on many of the days. If you see one, holler over & we can have a drink or two.
