English term or phrase: pool

Ich habe eine ganze Reihe von kurzen Hotelbeschreibungen mit "pools", innen, außen, Meerwasser, Kinder. Ich bin mir vom Sprachgefühl her unsicher was am Besten passt - "Pool", "Schwimmbad" oder "Schwimmbecken".
Beispiel:
- Guests have access to a restaurant with 'à la carte' menu, fully-equipped pool, meeting rooms.
- A private beach is available to guests with jacuzzi tubs and a modern Wellness Center with heated pool, tanning salon and personalized treatments.
- Guests have access to a restaurant, open heated pool and meeting rooms.

Danke für eure Ratschläge

Pool

Explanation:
Ich habe vor einiger Zeit Unmengen Kram für Hilton übersetzt. Ein "pool" hieß immer "Pool", nur gab es noch "Innen-Pool" und "Außen-Pool".

"Schwimmbad" könnte man bei einem großen, zentralen Innen-Pool nehmen.

Irene Schlotter, Dipl.-Übers.: Leider, leider - Schwimmbad klingt etl. zu groß und sehr nach trillerpfeifendem Bademeister (was in der Branche nicht so gut kommt), Schwimmbecken klingt nach einem Kachelbecken mit lauwarmer Brühe (ohne Luxus) ... also Pool.

Explanation:
wenn man die Grösse nicht kennt, Schwimmbad ist bei Reiseprospekten eher antiquiert
