Tourism & Travel / health and beauty centre in a hotel
Spanish term or phrase: "espejo de agua"
This appears in a list of things offered by a hotel's health and beauty centre (together with steam baths, jacuzzi etc). Does anyone know to translate it into English?
Many thanks in advance.

Tampoco estoy 100% segura de a qué se refieren en el texto... pero ante la duda me gusta esta opción- además, a veces en los textos salen cosas ambiguas que tampoco quieren decir una cosa específica ¿no? Sobre todo en los textos de márketing, etc.
Muchas gracias a todos.

agree  Kathryn Litherland: "reflecting pool" is the correct and usual term in English. I don't think "mirror of water" was the proper choice
