Editor's note
The Santa Catalina boasts two distinct pool experiences: a serene ground-level pool and a more exclusive rooftop option. Guests appreciate the architectural beauty surrounding both, with the rooftop pool offering an elevated perspective. The pool staff are consistently lauded for their attentiveness, ensuring a relaxing and well-serviced environment with readily available towels and friendly bar service. The atmosphere across both pools leans towards calm and sophisticated, aligning with the hotel's overall elegant charm.
