I did not use the pool but I did look at it and it was beautiful, very clean and maintained well. My room overlooked the water and the view was stunning. This is my third time staying at this hotel. They have a shuttle that will take you to the cruise port for free and it also will drive you anywhere in the immediate area within a 2-mile radius I believe."
