TRAVEL COLLAGE: 15 PICTURE-PERFECT POOLS AROUND THE WORLD

Puerto Rico: St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort

Are you a beach or a pool person?

I can answer without hesitation that the beach is my clear preference.
However, when the real-feel temperatures soar north of 100 degrees,

sometimes even the beach can be too hot. 

I don't like going into the ocean to cool off, so unless there's a breeze,

I'm much more comfortable in a pool
(emphasis on IN the pool).

Last weekend, we had a record-breaking heat wave in this part of the country.

There's no pool here, and driving to the beach on a Saturday or Sunday 
wasn't even a thought --

the traffic would be INSANE.

 The only way to stay cool was to be inside with the air-conditioning blasting,

 and doing some arm-chair pool hopping around the world.

 13.  Practice your backstroke in Grand Cayman Island, steps from Seven Mile Beach, ranked one of the "10 Best" in the world? 

 14.  Relax in a spartan pool set among whitewashed buildings in the small village of Megalochori on the island of Santorini in Greece?
