The Royal Hideaway's largest pool is right next to the beach. It's big enough for some serious swimming and because of the proximity of the enticing Caribbean, it's usually fairly quiet.

Since the Royal Hideaway is an adults-only resort, you also won't find childrens' playthings hindering your exercise laps either.

For the less energetic, there are shallow relaxing areas too.

The second pool is often arranged for a game of volleyball or other light hearted entertainment. It also has deep and shallow areas, and makes a great spot to cool off after lunch at the Beach bar or Spices.

From here, one can admire the Royal Hideaway's Caribbean style architecture and the lush tropical gardens surrounding the villas.
