Question Wrist Band colours at Grand Riviera Princess??

I understand that there are different wristband colours depending in what room type you are staying in, which distinguishes what 'perks' you are entitled to.

Does anyone know what the colour of the wristband is if staying the Regency Club Deluxe Junior Suites and what 'perks' this entitles you to??

Secondly, does anyone know if there are any washroom facilities near the pools at the Resort? I just read a review where someone states that bathrooms are no where to be found.

are you trying to gear your outfit to match your wristband?
...and use the pool...everyone else does - mostly

Yuck! Wristbands for Villas were black, Platinum were gray, Junior Suites were beige and kids (non-drinkers) were electric green.
Platinum had a lounge by the pool and we didn't spend much time in the big pool so I have no idea where bathrooms would be, aside from the main buildings and buffets.
Hope that helps a little!

Bathroom locales by pool

Yes, the bathrooms were a pain in the something** to get too. We were in the 3000 section deluxe suites--the last area before platinum--on the sunset side. When we were in the pool, we stayed mainly by our room. So we just had to walk up one flight of stairs to use the bathroom. As far as I knew the bathrooms were on the other side of were the towel exchanges are. However, with that said, because of the set up of the resort, i.e. the gardens and meandering pools, that can be a pretty long walk. My suggestion is to use the pool. HOWEVER! The women I was with--thought i was absolutely revolting (they are probably right) for even thinking about going to the bathroom in the pool. So, I mainly walked upstairs. Just believe you me--take your time on those floors. I slipped once. I'm just glad I didn't hurt myself!!!

GROSS--we didn't. we went back to our room.
As for color--i can't speak for everyone or every room....i don't know what regency club is, but we have a junior deluxe and ours were a creamy/beige color as adults and my son's was a neon green as a child.

There are also restrooms behind the 'sun wear shop' located just before the bridge to the beach....go up the little ramp to the right of the shop and they're right there.

smrtypants: Thanks for the update on Wristband colours. The Regency Club Deluxe Junior Suite is through Transat Vacations. By the way, I hope you will be doing a review of your vacation. I'm dying to read about it.

Moppi: Thanks for the update on the restroom near the gift shop. So, I guess I did read correctly, there are NO washrooms close to the pools. Can this be so??
