Choosing a hotel with a pool
A pool may be outdoors, seasonal, shared with a spa or closed for maintenance. Photos show a facility, not necessarily access during your stay.
In brief
Choosing a hotel with a pool
Ask whether the pool will be open on your dates, its hours, whether it is heated, whether access is included and if booking is required. Check rules for children and possible closures.
1. Confirm actual opening
Check opening dates and daily hours. An outdoor pool can close despite good weather; an indoor pool may close for maintenance or treatment sessions. Ask for confirmation for your stay.
2. Understand access conditions
Find out whether access is included in your rate, time slots need booking and capacity is limited. Also check towels and changing facilities.
3. Check rules and safety
Children’s hours, supervision, depth and accompanying-adult rules vary. A photo cannot establish suitability for a child or a traveller with reduced mobility. Ask directly when pool access is essential.

Before booking for the pool
