The hotel's swimwear policy bans:

Jeans and pants {all long trousers to us Europeans}
Cut off clothing {long trousers cut down to shorts)}
Baggy clothing (jeans or shorts) {This seems to mean any denim or long shorts}
Athletic gear {My guess is this bans short running shorts, Lycra running shorts and all square cut shorts above the knee}
Underwear
See through clothing {Anything in a light colour}
Offensive prints {All prints are offensive to someone}
European sunbathing { being British I'm European and therefore banned from sunbathing, all Americans of European descent would also be banned from sunbathing, many Afro-Americans have a trace of European blood going back to before the civil war and should also be banned from sunbathing, this rule is deeply rascist and probably illegal}

The rules above ban all mens wear from the pool area except plain dark coloured swim thongs, swim briefs and square cuts, or going in naked. They also ban a significant part of the human race who have European descent.

The sign by the pool area saying "No speedos" is not supported by the hotel's official published rules and could be challenged in court. The sign was ambiguous and Speedo should challenge the hotel in court for misuse of a registered trade name and bring it into disrepute. The poolside ban would also ban all Speedo brand non swim brief products.


Would a cross dressing, or trans-sexual man be welcome in this pool if he/she chose to wear a skimpy bikini identical to that worn by his sister ? One thinks not.
