The pool where we are in Tavira needs heating all year round, but it may be I'm a wimp!!

Seriously though is the heating charge laid out prior to booking or is it advertised with heated pool and then they have hit you with this after booking?

We had a villa in Lagos a few years ago and didn't bother with heating the pool. It was a welcome relief to cool off to be honest and this was in September. We soon got acclimatised to the 'coolness.' Hope this helps.

We were in a villa a week back. Initially pool was cool but by end of week had warmed up and was quite pleasant for swimming - not quite as warm as the Andaman, but OK. So I imagine August would be even warmer.

The average daytime temperatures here just now are 31C/88F so a bit of cool water is what people need. Witness the huge numbers in the sea today, sea temp around 24C.
