Check this view of Sheraton’s Krabi Beach Resort pool uploaded last October. Most reviews of this resort on Tripadvisor were favourable, but not all…
Stayed there with my wife in October for 2 weeks and we were disappointed due to several reasons. For such a huge hotel, there is not much space around the pool area and the pool is for the size of the hotel too small. Especially if you want to relax and you are looking for a quiet and shady place. Then there are too many kids running and playing around the pool and kids are usually noisy, especially if there are many of them coming together. Even on the beach, there are only a few deckchairs and some trees, but this is not enough to find one and to have the full day a shady place. There are no sunshades available…[TripAdvisor]
A view of the back of the Omni Hotel & Villas we stayed at in Cancun. I took this shot around 8 AM one morning. Cancun was wonderful. I ate so much, there, everyday!
A small and discreet hotel in the heart of the city’s art and business precinct, the Adelphi is recognized as an award-winning architectural icon of Melbourne.
At the Adelphi, less is more, and it is essential that you have experienced something special, something refreshing and something very different.
Only kids, and visitors from the north, would dare the pool in December. The temperature, according to the radio a few mintues before this picture was taken reported a temperature near 60 degrees (fahrenheit). The photographer, a local, was wearing a big sweater and wool pants! No wonder the kids stayed close to the hot tub!
We love aerial views of hotel swimming pools here at HotelSplash.com. This terrific image featuring the view from a guestroom at the GCI Hotel in Surfer’s Paradise, Australia also highlights the swim-up bar. It’s the building below with the red roof.
Investigate a few other hotel options in Surfer’s Paradise before you check into this hotel though - recent TripAdvisor reviews are less-than complimentary.
My stay at this location was a horrible experience. Unfortunately it was the last hotel we stayed in during a long trip around Australia and the second hotel we stayed in at Surfers Paradise…[TripAdvisor]
Perched adjacent to steep rice terraces looking out to a temple on the opposite hill, this extraordinary property’s individual Villas are all constructed in contemporary Balinese style with thatched alang-alang roofs.
Check out the view from one of the hotel’s private villas:
The view from the private infinity pool in our hotel bungalow.
Resort hotel swimming pools usually feature gorgeous views of the surrounding terrain or the local beach. The pool is a means of relaxing and enjoying one’s stay, but the view is often the central feature.
At the Lan-Sei Water Resort in the Philippines, the family-friendly resort swimming pools themselves are a central feature of the guest experience.
Check out Kris, Josh, Bryan and Beth enjoying their aqua adventures below.
Some hotel guests prefer to lounge in a serene, secluded resort setting far away from other guests. And then there are guests who savor the congestion of an urban oasis where one can see and be seen.
Check out the deck-side pool action at Miami Beach’s Delano Hotel, part of the Morgans Hotel Group.
The pool itself is not big but more for posers than anything practical. However, there are beds surrounding the pools which you can laze on and the waiters constantly check if you’re ok for drinks. If you don’t fancy the hotel pool, you can walk onto the private beach area which has free double sun beds for you to catch some sun…[TripAdvisor]
…The best part is the water park. It only has two real slides, but it’s a ton of fun. They also have a sea water pool that has a ton of fish. You snorkel through it and it’s like being in a big fish tank. People even can look through windows at you. The beach is not all that great because it is so shallow and you have to have something on your feet. This place is perfect for families and the staff is so much fun….[TripAdvisor]
Johannesburg, also known as “eGoli”, is the most populous city in South Africa. The city is affectionately known as “Jo’burg”, “Jozi” and “JHB” by South Africans, and is one of the 40 largest metropolitan areas in the world.

We don’t advocate hotel “funny business” here at HotelSplash.com, but if you’re in Krabi, Thailand and this is the resort pool next to your hotel…Whoa! That would be be hard to resist.
There is nothing like taking a running leap into a warm pool on a freezing day. Montreal has its share of freezing days, and this steamy pool at the Hilton Bonaventure looks inviting enough. Of course with no guests actually in the pool in the image above, perhaps this day was just a little too cold.
Marshall McLuhan, Canadian philosopher and scholar is rumoured to have swum here. In case you don’t know, McLuhan is well-known for coining the expressions “the medium is the message” and the “global village”.
There are specific things that we look for when we post hotel swimming pool photos on HotelSplash.com. Cool looking rooftop vistas, dreamy looking facilities, exotic places, exotic hotel guests enjoying the hotel pool…things like that.
Sometimes we get lucky and find all of these things in one image - like this photo taken at the Banyan Tree Hotel in Bangkok.
My partner and I stayed at the Banyan Tree from the 8th October for 3 nights. Being a travel agent I am very fussy when it comes to hotel and like things to be executed ‘just so’ and I have to say I was blown away by the Banyan Tree.
The hotel is not the newest but is lovingly maintained and I got the impression that the staff are all justifyably pleased of their establishment…[TripAdvisor]
On our trip to KC we stayed in this great hotel with a pool. The kids thought it was so cool to swim outside when it was cold.
Nothing can stop kids from being kids. Luckily, hotels located in “non-tropical” climates recognize this so they often make sure that the kids get to enjoy their outdoor pool facilities 365 days a year.
