Mokara suits overnight guests, since the rooftop pool and whirlpool are heated and open 7am to 10pm year-round. The hotel doesn't publish any day-pass or non-guest access.
The pool
Mokara's pool is on the rooftop in Downtown, over the River Walk, with downtown city views. The hotel heats it and opens the pool and whirlpool 7am to 10pm all year. The Rooftop Café beside the pool serves salads, sandwiches and cocktails.
Our take
Mokara matches Emma's 7am to 10pm window and is heated, which Emma doesn't say. Access is where they differ. Emma, Drury Plaza and others sell day passes, while Mokara lists no day pass and no non-guest rules.
The catch is the café, which is open seasonally from 11am to 6pm, so food isn't guaranteed. Parking is valet only, at $35 daily or $55 overnight.
