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.
