Why it's on the list
The Seaside Grand Hotel Residencia features two outdoor swimming pools: a family-friendly heated pool open year-round and an adults-only infinity pool. The extensive spa area includes an indoor saltwater Thalasso pool heated to 30 degrees, a cold water plunge pool, and a jacuzzi. The main outdoor pool area is spacious, quiet, and surrounded by palm trees, with a pool bar offering food and beverages.
Why it's not higher
One guest noted that the pool chemicals seemed to be out at times, recommending showering after use. While the hotel is not adults-only, it feels like it should be, which might not suit families seeking a lively children's pool environment.
