The Cove at San Luis Resort in Galveston

Walking distance from one of the many beaches in Galveston is the San Luis Resort. If you don't like salt water or sand. Dip into The Cove pool and swim on up to bar for a drink. Once again, no pool pass, only residents of the hotel can use the pool. Also their menu has no prices online, so be careful running up that bar tab before you know how much you're paying.
