Pool is gorgeous, but it certainly would not be the deciding factor on where I vacation. Beach/Ocean > any pool.

The pool is actually a salt water pool, not fresh water, so it's the same as being in the ocean. In addition, the pool is warmed to 26C, which in the Chilean winter can be almost 10C above the temperature of the ocean.

I've just come from Chile two weeks ago, and read a very interesting article on this.

Haven't seen anything like that before, the aerial view gives an idea of the massive size of the 'pool'. Dreeeeeamy post.

Cool, but what's the point. The ocean is right there.

So if I wanted to go into the real ocean I'd have to swim across this huge pool or walk around it
