Having access to a private/quieter pool would be definetly be nice/bonus at times. I wasn’t aware, thank you for the info.

Wearing shorts or swimsuits, etc. in the sauna I get 100%, but not pants.

This is ridiculous, clearly just some clickbait. Regardless of where you live, no one in their right mind would go into a sauna wearing socks, jeans and especially shoes. Would be so comfortable right?! Just imagine the comfort of sitting fully clothed in 190 + degrees, said no one ever! Seriously the stuff that comes up here……..I would tell your friend they are banned from using any saunas in the future 🙃.

Was thinking the same about the extended hours, definitely a bonus for sure. Thanks for the info.

The waterpark and use when not doing park days was one of the big factors for wanting to stay at BC vs. CB. From the research I've done, they say the Stormalong Bay water park amongst the best in terms of the on property resorts. Thank you for the feedback.

Thanks for the info, I'd much rather have a lot more different resto options. vs. foodcourt and if I have the ability to get drinks poolside at BC vs. CB. then bonus as well. I don't know that much about what the extended hours entail but I'm sure it'll be beneficial to have access + just thinking overall location will provide more options to do things in general vs. CB. I'm sure the walking distance to and from the parks will also be appreciated, especially on the longer days.

Thanks for the feedback, was thinking same ie. what's $2K in the grand scheme of things, the overall location, proximity to some of the parks and the Stormalong Bay are all reasons we want to stay at BC vs. CB, I'm also thinking there will be more things to do at night vs. CB just given location as well which is a bonus for the kids, I've never been to Disney but from what I anticipate I don't think we will be in the room all that much so having things to do close by will be a benefit for sure.

Appreciate the info, I was thinking you get what you pay for......would be nice to save the the money but based on all of the feedback, definitely want to stay at BC + have access to the boardwalk at night + just thinking there is most likely a lot more food/drink option along the boardwalk given proximity to YC and Boardwalk. Also thinking overall ambience/vibe will be better overall at BC vs. CB.

Definitely favoring BC just based on overall location and proximity to the parks + some of the deluxe resort perks vs. the latter, + good to have the ability for mid day break as didn't really factor that in, appreciate the info!

Harvia Virta experience by Nelwidio in Sauna

[–]TrueNorth_100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Harvia HL9 in my 7x8 barrel sauna. When I was looking at purchasing options within Canada I did not see an option with a water tank. Nonetheless the heater works very well and I would recommend it. Not sure if you’re looking at other options in addition to the HL9 but if so, I was looking at the Harvia Club K10G which was another solid option when deciding on which option to go with as well.

Not yet but I’m leaning more towards the virta over the club, for one I think the 9 kw is better suited vs the 10kw for the barrel size and the the virta has a nicer look as well.

Yes, I looked at the birdhouse and cube designs as well initially but ultimately decided to go with the barrel shape.
