Why it's on the list
The Blue Bay Resort & Spa features multiple pools, including two main outdoor swimming pools: the Peninsula Central Swimming Pool and the Peninsula Seawater Swimming Pool. A children's pool is available for younger guests, and there is also an indoor Hydrotherapy Pool within the 4 Seasons Mini Spa. Some executive double rooms and family suites offer private outdoor jacuzzis with sea views, providing an additional private bathing experience. The main outdoor pool areas boast Aegean sea views and feature pool bars for refreshments.
Why it's not higher
The evidence does not explicitly state that any of the swimming pools are heated, nor does it confirm specific opening hours for all pools. While views are mentioned, further details on the lounging space or specific pool dimensions are not provided.
