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.
