When we stayed at the GF last month, we saw women wearing the robes at the pool at night when it was chilly.
I was wishing I had been as smart.
I had my beach cover up, which provided no warmth at all against the chilly night air.
During the much warmer days, I didn't see anyone with the robes at the pool.
I think it's a matter of them being practical, and people not caring how fashionable they may or may not be.
As for the GF being stuffy, that is pure nonsense.
I arrived at the GF after a day at AK. I was hot sweaty, dusty etc....and I didn't feel a bit out of place. I was in too much awe at first....and by the time I had showered and walked about the place. I was in love!
Every single cast member was friendly, the other guests were all as average looking as we were.
There wasn't a thing stuffy about the place.
