Ensuring your hotel has a swimming pool available

You relax and lie down in the sun next to the hotel swimming pool. You open that book you have been dying to read for the past six months. You sigh deeply in satisfaction. Sound good? When choosing your hotel ensure it has a swimming pool by completing a well researched hotel reservation. Researching your hotel reservation The quickest and easiest way to find hotels at your destination is to go online and visit a hotel reservation website. Do a search for the city you are traveling to and you will be presented with a list of available hotels in that area. Narrowing down by facility You should then choose a hotel that appeals to you and click for more information. Amongst the detailed information on the hotel will be the hotel's: - address - detailed description - photos - map and directions - consumer reviews - room facilities - hotel facilities Under the list of hotel facilities if a swimming pool is available you should see "swimming pool", "indoor pool" or something similar. If the hotel you have chosen does not have a swimming pool then you should go back to the search results page and choose another hotel. Compare hotels by facility Another method to find hotels with swimming pools is to choose three of your favorite hotels from the search results and compare the three hotels side-by-side. You can do this by 'ticking' the box next to each hotel's listing in the search results then clicking the "Compare" button at the bottom of the page. This will display a list of the most popular facilities with travelers. If a facility is available at a hotel, a 'tick' will be displayed next to that facility. You can then compare whether each hotel has a 'tick' next to "swimming pool" or not. The comparison tool is also handy for when all the hotels have swimming pool facilities and you want to know which other facilities each hotel provides such as an gym, spa or cocktail bar. Confirm After confirming the hotel reservation online you will receive the hotel's phone number. Give the hotel a call to ensure the hotel swimming pool in available for your use on the dates on your stay.
