The Pool at JW Marriott Hotel Quito

"This futuristic pyramid is a world unto itself: there's an ATM, heated outdoor pools for adults and children, four restaurants, a well-stocked gift shop, and a gym with fitness classes"

"The sizable heated pool, complete with waterfalls and a Jacuzzi island, is a nice fit for the equatorial climate"

"A well-equipped gym hosts fitness classes, the spa offers body scrubs, wraps and massages, and the expansive outdoor heated swimming pool is an urban resort oasis decked out with cascading waterfalls and a central Jacuzzi island"

"Lounge chairs and poolside service cater to those who while away the hours in the fresh air as they nap to the sounds of the waterfalls"
