October sunshine, big lap pool?

Hi,

I'm looking for something elusive - a hotel with guaranteed sunshine and heat ideally in Europe (not north Africa) with a good sized lap pool which is not outside hotel rooms so I can swim before breakfast.

My husband has found hotel Annabelle in Cyprus but the indoor pool doesn't look much more than 8 or 10m.

Could do Carribean, but the hotels with good lap pools are behemoth hotels for the US market.

We like Mr & Mrs Smith type places.

Would also consider a villa if the pool is over 12m long.

Has anyone stayed anywhere like this?

It can be indoor or out so long as I can do my lengths everyday!

10 lane 50m pool. You would need to book your lane space though as it is heavily used by many clubs but it’s a great place.

This is all brilliant thank you so much!

I will look through to see which of them looks most Mr&Mrs Smith 😂

i often have this issue too.

we regularly do Paphos in the autumn. The outdoor pool at The Annabelle (not the lagoon one) is heated and is great in autumn. Also, the Almyra (next door) has a sizable adult pool which is usually deserted in autumn as it’s quite chilly. I did memorable early morning laps there in November, quite happily.

Enjoy your break.
