Summary of reviews related to the 'Pool' categoryWhen it comes to the pool at Moody Gardens Hotel Spa and Convention Center, opinions seem to be mixed. Some guests rave about the "fantastic" indoor and outdoor swimming areas while others complain about the "small" size of both. Some also note that the hot tub is "decent size" while others mention that the "one" hot tub for the entire hotel is not enough. Additionally, a few guests report that the outdoor pool was "unreasonably cold" and that the indoor pool room smelled strongly of chlorine.

Despite these complaints, many guests seem to have had an "enjoyable" experience at the pool with several commenting on how much they "loved" it. Families in particular found the pool to be a hit, noting that it was "great for the kids" and that their children "enjoyed" it. Some even mention the presence of a "kid play area" and a "Palm Beach pool" that added to the fun.

The swim-up bar was also a popular feature, though some guests note that it was closed during their stay. Regardless, many appreciated the "bar staff" and the ability to enjoy a drink poolside. Some guests do express frustration at having to go down to the lobby to get pool towels with one guest likening the experience to "staying at some ghetto hotel."

Overall, it seems that the pool area at Moody Gardens hotel has its pros and cons. While some guests had issues with size, temperature and amenities, many appreciated the cleanliness, beauty and overall experience of the pools. It may be worth checking ahead of time to see if the swim-up bar is open and to confirm the temperature of the heated pool, but for the most part, guests seem to have enjoyed their time in the water.
