And if you want to party at the same time, there are plenty of opportunities to do this at one of many hotels in the area. DJs will put on various shows so that you can dance in the water and splash up a storm. If you would prefer your time by the pool to be a little more relaxing, there are plenty of opportunities to unwind as well in quieter spots.
