There is something simply hypnotizing about a beautifully designed pool coruscating under the brightest of summer suns. As an avid swimmer, I can't recall a single hot day of my childhood when I wouldn't have to be forcibly taken out of the water, so keen I was to make the most out of it that my fingers would go all wrinkly. Now I can confidently say that any of the hotel pools I am about to introduce you to would convince anyone to do just the same — and with no regrets whatsoever.
