If you are not keen on the idea of taking the lift down (or up) in your swimsuit<\/a>, or being wrapped up only in a towel while making your way to (or from) the pool, you will love the indigenous idea of a room with direct pool access.<\/p>

That\u2019s right, simply take a few steps, literally, from the bed and jump right into the water. And there is no need for a private jet to reach the Maldives<\/a>\u00a0because these hotels right in Asia will do, at least for now. So from Kuta Beach\u2019s Four Points to Boracay\u2019s Resort, we\u2019ve got your pool vacation<\/a>\u00a0planned!<\/p>
