The Gulfview Hotel - On the Beach boasts a nice pool deck and hot tub, providing guests with a perfect spot to relax after a day in the sun. The heated pool is kept clean and offers a lovely ocean view, as does the wonderful hot tub. Guests also enjoy the private beach that comes with the hotel. Lounge chairs are abundant in the pool area, however, some guests would have preferred more shade. Despite the small size of the pool, guests loved it, particularly the convenience of having it so close to the beach. The pool and hot tub were well used and guests were thankful for the supply of towels provided by the hotel. The only negative comments were about the hot tub being out of order at times and the strong chemicals used in the pool. While no pool guard was present, one was recommended to help control the numbers of non-guests at peak times. Nonetheless, overall, the pool area and outdoor leisure space were impressive and a great addition to the hotel.
