Gran Destino Tower - pool?

We're looking at this hotel for part of our stay next year. I've seen a few of the youtube videos and it looks gorgeous. However, I have seen no mention of a pool. Does anyone know if it has its own pool? If it has, can anyone direct me to a review where it shows the pool?

It doesn't have it own pool, you have to use the awesome resort pool:



In addition, there are also a few smaller pools around the resort.

Wow, I'm amazed... all those extra guests using the existing pools! The main pool does look quite big though.
Thanks

THE Nearest pool is in the Cabanas area of CSR. Its a quite pool.

Its a short stroll from the back of the Hotel turn right.

The themed pool mentioned above is accessed over the water by bridge/path. Wee bit longer walk, but much more going on including restaurant and drinks.

During the development stage, Disney gauged the number of existing guests using the pool, and if there was capacity for the additional rooms.

Time will tell of course.

The majority of guests that will be using the Tower are convention guests that will be in meetings all day and not using the pool! There is also 4 pools at Coronado!

Not everybody uses a pool, I have yet to go to a Disney resort pool. We are at CSR next year so that will be at least two guests not using the pool.

When we last stayed at CSR the pools were always pretty quiet, especially the small pools, we were quite often the only ones using it.

Thanks for your input everyone. I've never stayed at a moderate before, the pools at the other hotels I've stayed at have always been busy so I was a bit surprised at no pool here. I assume they know what they're doing.

When the bridges opened we were speaking to a cast member he said the original plans had a swimming pool but they decided that they had enough pools for all the guess. He was talking to us for about 20 minutes as we were sitting on the benches along the bridge and he said we were the 1st guess he had seen sitting on them from the new bar and restaurant, he so came over for a talk it was interesting as he was telling us building of tower.
