Pool life is the good life at this posh Miami Beach resort, where attendants cater to guests' every whim: from cleaning sunglasses to handing out carafes of lemon-infused water and complimentary snacks (curated daily by the hotel's chef, pastry chef, and bartender). They'll even wash your feet with a slow trickle of fresh water from a watering tin (we’re not kidding).

Throughout the day, pool attendants continuously make the rounds delivering alcohol-infused frozen delights (for free, no less) at this brand new Baja resort. Late afternoons arrive with the ultimate chill: aloe vera ice cubes to sooth your newly sun-kissed skin.

Be sure to order a “smoking champagne” when relaxing poolside at this Pacific Coast resort — this dreamy drink, a pioneer in crafty, shisha cocktails, combines fresh fruit, herbs, spices, and Champagne. The best part? You can request your bubbly, plus everything from Evian spritzes to suntan lotion — via Whatsapp. Just tap your phone, and a pool butler delivers.
