The Pool at Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort

"Highlights include a palm-studded sixth-floor terrace with a compact but dreamy infinity pool and cabanas (one downside is that it all slips into shadow well before afternoon’s end—but hey, the ocean’s still a hop and a skip away) and the fine contemporary Mediterranean restaurant ilios (on the same floor, giving you an option of dining outdoors)"

"The family-friendly pool may have quite a few kids, but adults can easily sneak off to the prolific sunbathing areas flanking both sides of the hotel"

"Guests will find a big pool deck overlooking the ocean (though an outdoor pool bar is conspicuously absent), an adjacent restaurant with outdoor seating, a fitness center, a spa (including some outdoor massage huts), and a cafe on the ground floor (but this is the extent of the hotel's offerings, save for some meeting rooms)"

"The pool terrace boasts is appointed with a fleet of fashionable patio furniture"

"The Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort towers above the ocean, boasting a sprawling, elevated poolscape with the dramatic pool bar Balqony plunging into the horizon"
