Makassar Hotels With Indoor Swimming Pools

Best Western Plus Makassar Beach pairs its indoor pool with a restaurant offering halal, vegetarian, vegan and dairy-free breakfast options, so a rainy morning swim rolls straight into a meal without a special request or a taxi ride to find something a picky eater will accept. The hotel sits eight minutes' walk from Losari Beach, close enough that a dry evening still allows the usual promenade stroll after dinner, and the fitness centre gives a restless teenager somewhere to burn energy that does not depend on the weather either, before the whole family regroups for the evening meal back at the hotel restaurant.

For younger children, an indoor pool with no sun and steadier footing near the deck reduces two of the more common causes of a bad afternoon, sunburn and a slippery, unshaded surround. Older children and teenagers tend to get more out of Aston Makassar Hotel & Convention Center, where the indoor pool sits alongside a fitness centre and the hotel's central business district location puts Fort Rotterdam and Losari Beach within a fifteen-minute walk for an activity swap once the pool loses its novelty for the afternoon and everyone wants to move around a little more.

Neither hotel positions itself as a budget option, and the trade-off is straightforward: weather-proof swimming and a central location cost more than a basic outdoor pool further from the waterfront. Families on a tighter budget who can accept an outdoor pool and a small chance of a rained-out afternoon have far more choice among the 3-star properties covered in the general swimming-pool list for this city, where Dalton Hotel Makassar and similar options run noticeably cheaper per night without giving up a working pool entirely. Book the pool-facing rooms if that view matters more than the exact star rating.
