Not technically a hotel, but what a beautiful place for a swim.

After seeing these pictures, the screaming kids and floating Band-Aids at my neighborhood pool seem even less tolerable. For now, I’ll just close my eyes, imagine the breathtaking landscapes at the Banyan Tree Hotel or the Palms Hotel, and start saving for my next summer vacation.

Nice pools - only when you're on vacation. Instead of taking home a souvenir, why nat take the pool home with you, or at least the idea of it. We did, and built a Caribbean-style pool with swim-up bar and Cuban palapa-top as well... as in *we* built it, not subcontract it out. Check it out at www.vacation-ideas-spain.com
