The Pool at Kimpton Angler's Hotel

"For those who'd rather do the beach than the pool, stop by the front desk to pick up a beach goodie bag complete with sunscreen, toys, water, snacks, and even the latest best-selling novel"

"Which room to book: Sunbathe on your own personal rooftop deck in the three-story Pool House Manor Villa, which also has balconies for peering into the pool area"

"There's a top-notch restaurant, free off-site gym passes, and a small, but serene pool"

"The petite pool area feels like a secret—and with only a handful of plush loungers, this is an unlikely locale for any raucous parties"

"The pool is tiny, and the beach is a ten-minute walk, but guests are pleased to be removed from the riffraff"

"Chill out in a poolside cabana or on a sun bed (where you can also get an outdoor spa treatment), or stroll a couple of blocks to the beach, where the Angler’s guests have beach concession billing privileges in a designated area of the sand near 7th Street"

"The wonderfully contemporary tower units have private sunning gardens or rooftop terraces with hot tubs, and single-floor kings are set around a lovely pool"

"Although the pool is small, the hotel is an easy walk from the beach and provides towels and beach chairs"

"A lushly landscaped courtyard boasts a pool and an under-the-radar, yet tasty, restaurant and the hotel is only a few blocks from the beach"

"And while the little pool may raise furrows on the brows of unsuspecting beachcombers, the location is quieter than anything on the beach, which is only a short stroll away"
