The Benefits of Custom Pool Mosaics for Hotels

Raise your hand if you want to go to a hotel. All in favor, say aye!

Staying in a hotel is one of the pleasures in life. For the business traveler, it offers a well-earned retreat from the pressures of work. Buying, selling, internet marketing, phone calls, headaches, Zoom meetings. It’s all too much. Repeat after us: “Where’s the pool?”

A hotel is an ideal escape. It means a comfortable, clean environment – a place to rejuvenate. If they happen to have a gym, all the better. And if they have a pool? Game over – enter the decompressing anti-anxiety zone.

For a family, staying at a hotel means running away from home – the perfect respite, and you don’t have to travel far. It could be right across town. Even if you’re visiting family and they are kind enough to invite you to stay with them, sometimes you just want your own space.

What’s not to like about someone else making the beds and tidying up the room? Most hotels these days offer some sort of food, whether it’s a sit-down eatery or a continental breakfast. Let’s face it: we enjoy someone catering to us for a change – and all the better when the day starts with donuts and coffee. One popular hotel chain hands out snack bags upon guest check-out, which is a brilliant touch.

More hotels are focusing not so much on the commonplace, but on branding. They want to be known as the hotel that provides the best customer service and attention to detail. In short, they want to be the one everyone wants – the one with great accommodations. They don’t only want your business – they want your repeat business. Savvy hotel managers know that travelers share their experiences with other travelers. Word of mouth is a powerful marketing tool.

How often have you heard someone say, “Don’t stay there, the service is horrible,” or “That’s an awesome place – you will love it”? How often do you check online and read the reviews? Looking at reviews is just a standard part of shopping these days. The ultimate consumer report is the one that includes first-hand experiences.

But what makes the difference between staying at any old hotel and staying at one you can’t wait to get to? It’s all about the service and the amenities. Fresh sheets, soaps, shampoo, white towels, fluffy pillows, coffee right at your fingertips, continental breakfast, wifi, 24-hour desk service, luggage carts. And the ultimate – the swimming pool.

Since the question of whether or not the hotel has a pool is one of the first things people ask when booking a reservation, it’s not just good sense to provide one; if you want to compete with other hotels, it’s imperative.

So what is it that makes a pool so appealing? There are several reasons – here are just a few.

Recreational Benefits

Even though family vacations can be fun, traveling is exhausting, and being cooped up in the same small cabin of a car for hours can spell trouble. This is where people can get on each other’s nerves, and pent-up energy pushes our buttons and brings out the meanness in all of us.

Sound familiar? Are the kids bursting at the seams? Save your sanity and send them to the pool. Some hotels provide lifeguards. If this isn’t the case where you are staying, you can always grab a book, watch the kids while they swim, and let them wear themselves out. People get along better when they are not so wound up. A pool means movement, and movement is conducive to sleep.

Therapeutic Benefits

First, let’s state the obvious: staying in a hotel that has a pool feels luxurious. It’s an utter splurge. Even if your selection is not a 5-star hotel, a clean, well-maintained pool area provides a retreat where you can put your feet up, sip bottled water, and let the world float away. Bye-bye, chaos.

Relaxation, replenishing, rewinding, unwinding – not on anyone’s time. It’s you time. Freeing, renewing, quieting.

There’s something about being near water that makes people feel good.

Aesthetic Benefits

If you know anything about art therapy, then you already know that it is recognized as a mental health treatment. Just as the weather affects people in different ways, so does color.

While yellow has a tendency to excite and red is linked to passion, purple can entice creativity. Just as green is earthy, blue makes us think of water.

There’s a reason pools are blue. The calming effect of blue could make you think of the ocean, even if the beach is nowhere in reach.

Color is important to well-being. Even therapeutic recreation programs are using art therapy for the elderly. People who are depressed can find solace with a paintbrush in their hands. Color is self-expressive and non-binding.

Many hotels are turning to mosaics as a way to include more color in their poolscapes. Think of it as pool painting – a ceramic paintbrush that captures colors that delight, relax, and sway with movement at the same time.

At Blue Water Pool Mosaics, there are visual receptors for every taste. Color can signal playfulness, retreat, warmth, cold, positive, and negative. With pool mosaics, you can swim with the dolphins, bask in the sun, play in a coral reef, become a part of marine life with underwater diving, look for starfish, outswim a shark, and marvel at the mermaids.

The very essence of pool mosaics is color; vibrant, soothing, intoxicating, spiritual, contented, radiant, exhilarating, chroma color. It draws the eye like a Picasso on canvas. It’s spellbinding. Healing.

There’s something about staying at a hotel with a pool. There’s something altogether different about staying at a hotel with a pool designed with Blue Water Pool Mosaics. Your customers know it, and you know it. It’s the difference between customer satisfaction and major bragging rights.
