Ah, the simple pleasures of the swim-up suite. Do they ever get old? I think not.

And apparently neither do the folks behind AlSol Tiara, a new all-inclusive resort in Cap Cana in the Dominican Republic. The 115-room hotel has devoted a third of its inventory to the water’s-edge suites, which open out to an ocean-view lap pool.

We’re told that since the resort opened 10 months ago, the swim-up suites, (which face either the ocean or the adjacent Cap Cana marina) have been consistently sold out. And sure enough, when we visited they were fully booked.

However, we managed to get a sneak peek at suite 2101 between guests. Enjoy!
