Top 10+ Incredible Hotel Swimming Pools  
COOL

These are the some of the most amazing swimming pools in the world!

1.	La Casa Que Canta, Zihuatanejo, Mexico - The spectacular infinity pool, with rounded ledges for lounge-like seating, looks out upon a heart-melting Pacific Ocean tableau. An additional, “free-form saltwater pool” with connecting Jacuzzi lies near the crashing waves below, and includes private sunning decks and grottoes. The hotel also offers several “Private Pool Suites” with “plunge pools” on their terraces.
2.	The Biltmore Hotel, Coral Gables, FL - With 700,000 gallons of water and 23,000 square feet, the Biltmore’s historic swimming hole stakes its claim as the largest hotel pool in the continental U.S. It once was the vintage Hollywood backdrop for water ballets and fashion shows, but the crowd bleachers have given way to a quieter collection of stylish cabanas. The old diving platform has been refashioned as a multi-tier waterfall, which cascades in front of a French-Caribbean restaurant.
3.	Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, NV - If you’re seeking sedate refinement, look elsewhere. At the Hard Rock, the volume is cranked: this party-scene piscine features sandy beaches, swim-up blackjack at the island bar located in the pool’s center, and grass-shack cabanas with phones, fridges and personal misting systems.
4.	Bacara Resort & Spa, Santa Barbara, CA - This tony California resort mixes old-Hollywood with Mediterranean chic, and its three “zero-edge” saline pools are distinguished by one of the most important swimming-hole features: location, location, location. The tiered pools, lined with private cabanas, step down toward a glorious view of the Pacific.
5.	St. Regis Resort, Bora Bora - The adults-only Focal Pool has a swim-up bar and private day-bed cabanas; or follow in the honeymooning steps of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban and choose the luxury Royal Estate with your own private swimming pool.
6.	Paradisus Riviera Cancún, Mexico - The hotel’s three pools are nestled in a re-created Mayan village (pre-“Apocalypto”) and surrounded by outdoor “treatment areas” featuring therapies like the traditional Mexican Temazcal steam bath. If you prefer more saline in your swim, step onto the nearby, 5,000-foot stretch of private Caribbean beach.
7.	Blue Lagoon, Iceland - Okay, so it’s not technically a hotel pool, but we couldn’t resist the steamy appeal of Iceland's grand geothermal resort—the Blue Lagoon—which is a short bus ride from Reykjavik city center hotels (such as the Hotel Nordica). The sprawling, man-made pool is surrounded by lava fields (and snow in the winter). Sit back and soak up the salutary seawater ingredients (minerals, silica and algae), or indulge in one of many luxury spa treatments.
8.	Club Dauphin Pool at the Grand Hotel du Cap-Ferrat, French Riviera - The heated, seawater, Olympic-size “horizon” pool is perched on the Mediterranean for breathtaking views while you backstroke along the Riviera. Private cabanas are also available.
9.	Le Meridien, Hurghada, Makadi Bay, Egypt - The resort’s 68,889-square-foot swimming pool, which snakes around the hotel, is considered the largest pool in the Middle East.
10.	Hyatt Regency, Kaanapali, Maui, Hawaii - This half-acre pool is nestled among lava formations and waterfalls. It features a swim-up bar, a 150-foot water slide, a new kids’ pool with sand beach, an island with tide-pool simulator, and “dive-in” movies projected on an outdoor wall.
