Why it's on the list
The Kiani Beach Resort offers a variety of swimming options, including two large outdoor pools and two indoor heated pools. One of the outdoor pools features extended swimming lanes. A dedicated children's pool is also available for younger guests. Select rooms and suites offer individual private pools with views of the sea and mountains.
Why it's not higher
While there are two indoor pools, one of them is not heated during June, July, and August. The outdoor pools can become busy, and the hotel explicitly states that day passes are not available for outside visitors.
