Outdoor Hot Tub Renovation

The outdoor hot tub will be closed starting November 5 , 2012  to perform a renovation. The project will involve removal and replacement of the tile and the cement in the hot tub.  The curing process for the work is about 4-5 weeks.  We anticipate that the hot tub will re-open on or about December 10, 2012.
The indoor pool will be open during this time. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.  Please contact the Front Desk at 603.745.9900 for more information.

update 12/4/2012:  The pool has been resting at about 60-70 degrees as it continues the curing process.  The recommended curing time is 3-4 weeks.We plan to start slowly increasing the water temperature starting on Saturday December 8, 2012 back to the normal 102-104 degrees. The goal is that at some point on Monday December 10, 2012 we will be able to reopen the hot tub.  Thank your for your patience.
