What is a swim-up room?
A swim-up room has a swim-up pool, which is usually a semi-private pool that you can access directly from your own room. You slide right into the pool from your private terrace. Depending on the hotel facility, the pool can be a private pool or a pool available only to a few rooms, or it can also be accessible to all hotel guests from the other side. Normally it is a separate pool for some exclusive rooms and only these swim-up rooms can use the pool. If you are looking for a luxury hotel vacation, you should treat yourself to a villa with a private pool.What is the difference between a swim-up pool and private pool?
Strictly speaking, a room with a private pool is also a swim-up room – as long as the pool starts right at the furnished terrace and you can swim in from the room, so to speak. The private pool may or may not be a swim-up pool if it is located somewhere on the property. All of the hotels I’m featuring here have swim-up pools just as you’d imagine that means a direct pool access from your private terrace.1. Spick and span: TUI BLUE Zante Maris on Zakynthos
