Stay here if you want early and evening swims. The heated rooftop pool is open 6 AM to 8 PM daily, for guests during their stay, with daybeds, towels and changing rooms provided.

The pool

The heated pool is on the roof in Spring Valley, with city skyline views and daybeds. Towels, a shower area and changing rooms are provided. Access is for guests during their stay, and the floor isn't published.

Our take

Kingfisher Nest is the other guests-only pool on our list besides Emara Ole-Sereni, and it has the longest hours we can publish: 6 AM to 8 PM. Golden Tulip's rooftop is open 7 am to 5 pm.

The Pool Lounge overlooks the pool and serves cocktails, bites and a grill on demand. The terrace lounge also hosts live music, DJs, comedy nights and karaoke. If you want quiet, ask about event nights when you book.

Tips
