“ The Perspective Rooftop Pool Bar at the Art Ovation Hotel is great. The service is friendly and attentive. There are enough tables and umbrellas for shade. Great place to grab drinks before heading out to dinner. ”
“ The perspective rooftop pool bar at the Art Ovation hotel is a great place to get a yummy tropical drink or some delicious food as well as hang out with friends or solo and enjoy the views, sunshine and sunset. I ordered the fresh fruit bowl and it was delicious with a wide variety of tropical fruits. And the bartender is talented and friendly and gives great service. I highly recommend. ”
“ While my group was dancing, we noticed a creep. We let him know that we were not interested in interacting with him in any way. He continued. We let the bouncers know that he was being extremely inappropriate. The bouncers handled it very quickly and very professionally. My group was able to have a fun, carefree time after that thanks to the bouncers. ”
“ Really nice bar, great service, great fresh fruit! Small pool, friendly environment, unpretentious. Great umbrellas for shade. Wonderful view! ”
“ I absolutely loved the attention to detail on each drink they served at this bar. My absolute fave was the green goddess with DMX the bartender made! Phenomenal! My second drink was a Mojito and equally as tasty. The drinks are standard pricing here, around 15 to 16 each which is normal for a hotel. I would love to come here and chill pool side sometime! I can't speak for the food. The chairs could use a deep cleaning if I am being honest. Overall though, the vibe and drinks were on lock! ”
“ Incredible experience at Perspective Rooftop Bar. Luciano, Rio and Carlos cultivated an inviting, energetic, and fun environment. The drinks were 12/10 and the staff were even greater. We will be returning. Highly recommend for any bachelorette, party,. ”

“ *World Traveler Review Comfortable Lounge Chairs, Good Food & Drink, Amazing Views Limited Umbrellas... arrive early! We purchased a ResortPass for 35 p/p for the day. Def recommend! It gave us access to the entire pool bar, restaurant, seating, towels, etc.. They have a pool steward that comes through occasionally... Taking orders, bringing drinks, bringing food, providing additional assistance. Just ask them! Seating for dinner/lunch is limited... Approximately eight tables. Each table has a glowing light for a unique look and feel at night. Tables have umbrellas at each table. *Note - many of the umbrellas that were used by the pool, were taken to support the tables at the restaurant, leaving very few umbrellas by the pool. Although we arrived early and got an umbrella, very few people had an umbrella and were forced to leave probably sooner than they would have if they had an umbrella for shade. Recommend asking for umbrella, or arriving early. ”
