entryway, with a frosted glass door for privacy. The shower was spacious and had a bench inside — a nice touch for those who like to relax in the shower or for anyone with mobility issues.
The highlight of the room, of course, was the swim-up feature. Right outside my sliding doors was a small patio area with two lounge chairs and a small table, which led directly into a shallow pool that connected to the main Hideaway pool, making it easy to hop in and out of the water throughout the day. The pool water was warm and inviting, and it was a nice touch to have direct access to the water without having to fight for a lounge chair by the main pool.
Overall, the room was comfortable and had all the amenities I needed for a short stay. While the design choices were a bit lackluster, the swim-up feature more than made up for it and provided a unique and enjoyable experience.
