The Pool at The Pillars Hotel & Club

"Make sure to spend some time at the hotel's charming free-form pool, which overlooks the Intracoastal Waterway—by day, there's free iced tea on tap and you can book an alfresco massage at the spa"

"Most rooms have views of the Intracoastal Waterway or pool, with French doors opening to individual patios or balconies"

"The hotel's highlight is its courtyard pool, which features a beautiful view of the Intracoastal Waterway, but those wanting to stay directly on the beach may consider the Pelican Grand Beach Resort, which is larger but has a similar beach-cottage feel in the rooms and restaurants"

"A gorgeous pool and courtyard create a relaxed ambience"

"Quiet, intimate British-colonial-style hotel with plush rooms, antique furniture, lush gardens and a pool, sitting just a block from the ocean on the Intracoastal"

"Pool and patio overlook the water, with its continuous parade of yachts"

"Out back is a modest-sized kidney-shape pool, along with a dock where you can dine with sweet views of the water and the yachts gliding by (gourmet multi-culti fare courtesy of Chef Youssef Hammi with exotic touches from his native Morocco)"

"This 18-room boutique charmer blends the intimacy of a B+B with all the comforts of a hotel—including warm croissants for breakfast, a heated pool overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway, and iced tea and lemon water in the lobby and poolside"

"Rooms 22 and 23 are the smallest and least expensive rooms, but they open to a capacious terrace overlooking the pool area, with views of the waterway beyond"

"Tucked away on the Intracoastal side of Fort Lauderdale Beach, Pillars Hotel is a charming, historic boutique property with a kidney-shaped swimming pool and orange-striped lounge chairs"
