Summary of reviews related to the 'Pool' categoryWhen it comes to the pool at Moody Gardens Hotel Spa and Convention Center, opinions seem to be mixed. Some guests rave about the "fantastic" indoor and outdoor swimming areas while others complain about the "small" size of both. Some also note that the hot tub is "decent size" while others mention that the "one" hot tub for the entire hotel is not enough. Additionally, a few guests report that the outdoor pool was "unreasonably cold" and that the indoor pool room smelled strongly of chlorine.

Despite these complaints, many guests seem to have had an "enjoyable" experience at the pool with several commenting on how much they "loved" it. Families in particular found the pool to be a hit, noting that it was "great for the kids" and that their children "enjoyed" it.

The swim-up bar was also a popular feature, though some guests note that it was closed during their stay. Regardless, many appreciated the "bar staff" and the ability to enjoy a drink poolside. Some guests do express frustration at having to go down to the lobby to get pool towels with one guest likening the experience to "staying at some ghetto hotel."

Overall, it seems that the pool area at Moody Gardens hotel has its pros and cons. While some guests had issues with size, temperature and amenities, many appreciated the cleanliness, beauty and overall experience of the pools. It may be worth checking ahead of time to see if the swim-up bar is open and to confirm the temperature of the heated pool, but for the most part, guests seem to have enjoyed their time in the water.

Hotel with Swimming Pool Outdoor Pool
Summary of reviews related to the 'Pool' categoryClarion Pointe Galveston Seawall's pool seems to evoke mixed reactions from guests. On the positive side, many appreciated the pool's cleanliness and overall niceness. The pool area, described as cute and clean, offers a few pleasant features such as palapa tables and an excellent location by the seawall, making for a relaxing and scenic swim. Guests frequently mentioned the pool being cleaned regularly, contributing to a clean and fun overall experience.

However, several issues were noted about the pool. It is evidently small and often crowded, leading to discomfort among many visitors. Furthermore, the temperature of the pool has been a common point of critique, as it is not heated and can be uncomfortably cold, even on sunny days. Cleanliness has been another concern with some guests finding the pool cloudy, murky or even green. The pool area also experiences wet floors and it appears that the pool can get messy with unruly children disrupting the calm atmosphere.

Additionally, the pool has faced operational issues, including being closed at times due to construction or other reasons, which was a significant inconvenience. The lack of enough lounge chairs and issues like leaking water and small pool towels add to the list of minor yet notable drawbacks.

In summary, while the pool at Clarion Pointe Galveston Seawall is well-positioned and can provide a pleasant experience when conditions are right, guests have encountered enough issues to warrant a temperate enthusiasm. More consistent maintenance and straightforward operational transparency could greatly enhance the experience for future visitors.
