Another in our Closest To series…The closest Hotel Pool Water Slide to Los Angeles can be found at Terranea Resort in Palos Verdes. There may be a water slide at a hotel pool in Los Angeles proper, but we have yet to find it. Terranea is just outside the city limits, in …
We’re starting a new (hopefully regular) feature at Hotel Swimming Pools. We’ll pick a big city and then give you unique hotel pool options within driving distance–when to find the best slide, who’s got a lazy river to float, and other pool options we know you love. Since we’re So. Cal …
The Hyatt Regency Century Plaza is one of our favorite properties. Historical, iconic and centrally located in Los Angeles, it’s been a favorite of celebrities, politicians, and world leaders since it opened in 1966. Ronald Regan stayed there so often it was once nicknamed the “West Coast White House.” It also …
Reader/contributor KS visited Casa De Campo in the Dominican Republic in late July. He says it was hot and humid and the pools could not be more welcome. It’s a golf resort, on the beach, with an equestrian center. So the pools aren’t the main attraction. But when you need …
Here’s another Reader Swim from another hope-to-be regular contributor, KB. KB is a travel industry professional who promises to share photos of the pools he encounters during his frequent travels.

We turned two last month (June 26, to be exact) and here’s the cake we made in celebration: Those are rock candy pieces in the pool, in case you are wondering. White cake with white (and blue) frosting. Requisite behind-the-scenes photo: Here is last year’s cake, in case you are …
Yeah, okay, it’s almost August and if you visited this property now, you’d probably have to put up with triple digit temperatures and air so dry you can’t even spit. And don’t even get us started on the issues you just might encounter if you happen to have skin darker than …
If we weren’t already married, we would SO be doing this. The link is to a Miami Herald article about a couple renewing their vows, underwater, with mermaids at the Ft. Lauderdale Sheraton. It’s the hotel in the movie “Analyze This,” where mermaids appear in portholes behind the bartender in …
It’s not Wednesday, but we’ve added another Paris pool to our wish list! It may not be The Ritz, but it sure sounds interesting. Molitor has a rich history (we learned about it here)—a hotel at the site of a restored public pool from the Art Deco era. According to the hotel’s web …
