Rooftop Pools at Mida Grande Resort: How Many and How They Differ

Mida Grande Resort in Phuket has 6 pools in total: 4 on rooftops and 2 with bars on lower levels. The difference is more than height: rooftop pools give a view and fewer crowds during the day, while bar pools give easy access to drinks and food without walking to a restaurant.

How many rooftop pools are there and why four

Direct answer: four rooftop pools are spread across different buildings in the complex, so you usually don’t need to cross the whole property to reach water — the nearest rooftop pool is almost always next to your own building.

Four separate pools instead of one large one reduce the main crowding risk of resort infrastructure — everyone returning from the beach at the same time and filling one pool. If your building’s pool is busy, the next one is close by.

How do rooftop pools differ from bar pools

Direct answer: rooftop pools are about view and quiet air, bar pools are about convenience when you don’t want to change and walk to a restaurant for a drink or a light snack.

Pool type	Count	What it gives
Rooftop	4	view of surroundings, fewer people during the day
With bar	2	drinks and food by the water, no need to change

Choosing between them isn’t a choice of housing as a whole — both types are available to guests in any apartment category, including compact studios like Deluxe Pool View 40 m².

What time of day works best for a rooftop pool

Direct answer: early morning and late evening are the best times — less sun, fewer people, and a sunrise or sunset view becomes a reason to go up there instead of the beach.

During the day in high season, the sun feels stronger on a rooftop than at ground-level pools — worth factoring in when planning pool time, especially with kids.

Do you need to choose a building based on a specific pool

Direct answer: no — the distance between buildings inside the complex is small, and any of the six pools is reachable within a few minutes, so apartment choice is better made on other criteria — size, view, floor.

If it still matters which pool is closest to specific apartments, it’s worth asking before booking, since the layout differs between buildings.
