Full Vacations
Start With the Pool.
Build the Vacation Around It.
Most people pick a destination, then find out the pool is underwhelming after they've already booked. We help you do it the other way around.
Plan My Vacation with Bill ✦Here's the honest version of how most vacation planning goes: you decide on a destination, pick a hotel based on price and location, and check the photos to make sure it "looks nice." Two months later you show up and the pool is smaller than it appeared, there's no poolside service, and every chair has a towel on it from 7am that nobody comes back for until 2pm.
A pool-forward vacation starts differently. You know, before you book, whether the pool at this hotel actually delivers — what the service is like during peak hours, whether the water temperature is maintained, if the bar is actually swim-up or just adjacent. You pick the destination in part because the pool is excellent, and you don't have to adjust your expectations when you arrive.
That's what PinthePool is for. Browse our reviews, find a property with a rating worth your vacation budget, and book with confidence.
Top Pool Destinations
Cities where the pools are a reason to visit, not just an afterthought.
Las Vegas
The undisputed capital of the resort pool experience. Day clubs, infinity edges, floating bars, and pools the size of small lakes.
Miami
Rooftop pools with skyline views, art deco beach clubs, and resort pools that blur into the ocean. South Beach and Brickell each bring something different.
Orlando
Disney and Universal properties anchor the market, but the surrounding resorts have invested heavily in their pool complexes. Don't overlook them.
Scottsdale
Desert resort pools done right — multiple pools, adults-only areas, swim-up bars, and the kind of hospitality that Arizona resort culture does exceptionally well.
Hawaii
Ocean pools, infinity edges pointed at the Pacific, and resort properties that understand the pool as a destination in itself.
New York City
Rooftop pools with Manhattan views. Tight spaces, big ambiance, and a scene that's as much about being there as swimming.
