The Carmen is the pick on this stretch of our list for an infinity pool with sea views. The pool is on Deck 5, for hotel guests, with a rooftop bar open 12:00 to 20:00.
The pool
The Deck 5 Roof Top in Centro, on Calle 8 Nte, has an infinity pool with sea views from the pool and the bar. Breakfast is served there from 8:00 to 12:00. The catch is that pool hours aren't published, only the bar's.
Our take
The Carmen and The Palm share Calle 8 Nte in Centro, and both keep the pool for staying guests. The Palm opens its roof bar to non-guests and the Carmen doesn't say it does, so The Palm is the easier roof to reach without a room. The Carmen is the one with an infinity edge.
The Carmen is a 3-star hotel rated 4.1 on Google from 1498 reviews. Pool hours aren't given, so the 12:00 to 20:00 bar window is the only schedule to plan around. The top suite also gives access to the Sky bar.
