For fun in the sun, grab your floppy hat and look for hotels with swim-up bars, where you can order the food and drink without having to interrupt your dip. These five hotels offer some of the best swim-up bars in the world, where guests can conveniently find cocktails, food, and more.

1. Hyatt Regency – Maui

Maui is well-known for its feeling of relaxed romance, and the swim-up bar at the Hyatt Regency Maui fits right in with the island’s vibe. Located in a grotto between two-free form pools, guests have to swim beneath two waterfalls to get to it. You’ll find a sense of seclusion while you cozy up with a loved one — or just experience a feeling of adventure in the cave-like setting.

2. Caesar’s Palace – Las Vegas

Many hotels have swim-up bars for beverages, but what about rounds of blackjack? At the Fortuna Pool at Caesar’s Palace, guests can not only order their favorite cocktail, but also place bets at in-pool gaming tables. For a unique stay on the Strip, look into Hipmunk deals at Caesars Palace Las Vegas.

3. The Regent Palms – Turks and Caicos

The Regent Palms in Turks and Caicos has an outstanding swim-up bar for both drinking and dining. Called the Plunge Bar, it has in-water booths where guests can enjoy private, secluded tables. While the experience of dining at the Plunge Bar is unique, what makes it so extraordinary is the scenery: It overlooks an infinity pool over the vast Atlantic.

4. Room Mate Grace Hotel – New York City

One of the best swim-up bars is located somewhere totally not beachy: New York City! At the Room Mate Grace, the swim-up bar is located in a pool in the hotel’s lobby. While the pool itself is small, it features a long bar where guests can order cocktails without toweling off. The bar has become a popular nightlife spot where people don their swimsuits year-round.

5. Bel Air Collection Resort & Spa – Cancun

There are two swim-up bars at the Bel Air Collection Resort. If you’re looking for privacy while you have a drink, this is the place to find it. The bars have private in-water booths with tables, in addition to traditional bar seating. One of the best parts about the Bel Air in Cancun is that it’s for adults only, so you can expect to find some peace and quiet if you’re looking for it.
