Lounging by the pool is an activity that most travelers to Jamaica enjoy, in spite of the fact that the beautiful beaches provide no less of a swimming experience! However, sipping a drink by the poolside, swimming up to a bar or having a dinner by the pool can add a lot to your Jamaica vacation. Jamaica has a number of hotels with good swimming pools that provide a vast list of amenities and facilities. We list here three of the best hotels with swimming pools in Jamaica for your perusal:
1. The Half Moon Montego Bay, Montego Bay
The Half Moon Montego Bay is one of the most luxurious hotels in Jamaica. Made for the luxury traveler, this 398 unit hotel boasts of 51 pools (can anyone ask for more) including an Olympic sized one. Apart from the beautiful pools, the resort also has a private 2 mile long private beach where visitors can indulge in water sports like snorkeling, scuba diving, water-skiing, kayaking, paddle boat, sailing, glass-bottom boat sailing, lilo and deep-sea fishing. The resort also has a 7,119 yard, par 72 championship golf course and offers facilities for horse riding, lawn tennis, squash, giant chess, croquet, bocci ball, table tennis and cycling.

2. The Round Hill Hotel & Villas, Montego Bay
The Round Hill Hotel & Villas is another boutique luxury resort in Jamaica that has been favored by celebrities past and present. The resort features a number of villas and oceanfront rooms designed by Ralph Lauren. Water babies will love the resort’s 25 swimming pools, including the infinity pool and activities on the private beach. Apart from the usual water sports, private yachts, sunset cruises and sailing tours can be arranged for guests. Golf lovers get free transportation to the nearby Tryall’s 18-hole, par-72 championship course. The spa, gym and on site restaurants are world class to say the least.
3. Mocking Bird Hill, Port Antonio
Even though the Mocking Bird Hill has just a single swimming pool, it is more than sufficient for this small boutique hotel with just 10 rooms. The hotel is recommended by people who want a relaxing and peaceful holiday by the seaside. The rooms are luxuriously appointed, but come without televisions and telephones, giving you the chance to listen to the songs of the birds and the sound of the sea at all times. This eco friendly hotel is one that is luxurious, yet affordable; with the friendly staff making sure that all your needs are met. Those who want to stay in touch with the world will appreciate the free Wi Fi and computer access. The Mille Fleurs restaurant on the premises comes highly recommended and is worth a visit even if you are not staying at the Mocking Bird Hill.
