I love this photo of me and my parents at Hearst Castle, taken some time in the mid 1970s and not just because of the hat an stylish jeans I’m wearing or my parents matching coat collars (my mom isn’t actually taller than my Dad, she and I are …
It’s no Atlantis, but I’d say Splashtopia at Rancho Las Palmas is the closest thing we’ve got in Southern California. I’ve only stayed one night and just a few hours at the pool, but since it was my first visit to a “super pool,” we went all-out and got the …
Marina Bay Sands, Singapore is often on Top Ten lists of noteworthy hotel pools. The 2,561-room hotel, built for a mere $5.7 billion has become something of a landmark, known most for its Sands SkyPark. The SkyPark is massive with nearly three-acres perched at the top of the hotel’s three, …
Is this one of the ten hotel swimming pool plagues (along with leaky swim diapers and over-zealous chair savers)? or a really cool feature? Check out this red pool in Morocco. It’s the Murano Resort Marrakech and according to Aqua Magazine it’s the red tile that gives the pool that scarlet …
These shots are way too good not to share. Ubud Hanging Gardens is an Orient-Express property in Bali that takes hanging to an entire new level. The curved infinity-edge pool is set on two levels, perched over the rain forest and surrounded by lounge chairs for soaking up what looks like …

Really, another hotel pool worth checking out in Utah? Sorry, Utah, I’ve got nothing against you. But I’m sort of surprised to be drooling over another Utah hotel pool. And this one is definitely drool-worthy. Amangiri is a small, suite-only hotel near Lake Powell in Utah (just a few …
Check this out. The article asks if this is the scariest hotel pool you’ve ever seen. Really? We’d have no problem checking that out. It’s at the Holiday Inn, Shanghai Pudong Kangqiao and I guess the property is billing it as somewhat of a thrill ride: ” If you are brave …
When my daughter was 5, she and my husband went on a trip to Beaches Turks & Caicos, without me. The place has a huge pool, PLUS a 45,000 square foot water park that sounds like it just might rival, or at least make an attempt at competing with …
