From my understanding the rumored problem right now is not that access is not policed but that supposedly absolutely nobody but top tier suite guests are allowed to use the Thermal Pool. Last stories we heard was that passes are no longer sold and not even spa treatments give you access to the pool and veranda.
I would definitely be interested to purchase a pass for my upcoming trip at the end of the month so any information if they are still selling them on Pursuit would be very much appreciated.
