arubanut Posted July 18, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 18, 2018 This will be my first time at Amber Cove... From what I see,there is NO fee? How is getting a spot by the pool? Is it like the craziness of Grand Turk? (GT just to many people:() Thanks for any insight with this port! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABQrobin Posted July 19, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Amber Cove pool is huge. If you go directly there, off the ship, it is no problem getting a good chair by the pool. You pay $20 for the umbrellas for the day, but they cover 2 chairs, so really big. You pay at a booth, then a guy comes and sets it up for you. The chairs on the right side in this photo are reserved for those buying cabanas for day. Huge umbrellas, but chairs are right next to each other. The pool have several fingers, running off from the Main swimup bar area. Walk around to find you best spot. robin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HealthyTouch101 Posted December 24, 2018 #4 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Just got back from a visit to Amber Cove. This was our first time there. We went straight there for a pool day. Found 2 loungers easily and the pool was clean and well-cared for. There are waiters that travel around and will deliver drinks, as well as a swim-up-bar. There is a separate pool that small children can use, but many were in the larger pool with adults. Neither was an issue. Easy slopes or steps into the water. Built in benches and even loungers in the water. Clean bathrooms available. There are two waterslides for all ages. Many lifeguards and also supervision of the slides. We had no regrets choosing a pool day there. Be sure to bring sunscreen! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chong67 Posted February 1, 2019 #6 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Free to swim in the pool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABQrobin Posted February 1, 2019 #7 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Pool is free, chairs are free...umbrellas were $20 for day and cover 2 chairs, as I recall. There is a booth where you pay cash, and they bring the umbrella to you and set up. That is where you pay for zipline also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skatie Posted February 6, 2019 #8 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Are there change rooms and wash off showers to use by the pool? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABQrobin Posted February 6, 2019 #9 Share Posted February 6, 2019 As I recall, that long gray and white building in background is the bathroom facility. I am pretty sure there are showers and changing rooms in there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the port is in a bay area and water is rather brown. They let people kayak in it but not swim or snorkel as far as I could tell. Don't think you would see anything anyway.
