There\u2019s nothing more annoying than having to drag yourself out of a heavenly pool and into hot weather, find a towel, dry off, locate your flip flops and march\u00a0over to the bar\u2014all just to order a margarita. It’s either that or wait until a server happens to walk by, which is never often enough. But getting your next drink is a lot easier at these hotels, where you just have to swim up to the bar and perch yourself on an underwater bar stool, staying cool while imbibing a\u00a0tropical\u00a0drink.<\/p>\n
