Oh my gosh I think this is incredible! To be able to swim next to the ocean without worrying about jellyfish or the undertow of the ocean, yet still be able to hear the waves next to you Cheers to the scientists who was able to make a dream come true by using his intellect of formuals in order to keep this water crystal clear, this is amazing!!! I so badly want to go there. One day I will. And I dont see it as a waste, because it is actually as i understand from the ocean water itself. Great creation!

The reason to have a pool next to the ocean is becase the sea next to Chile is freeezing. The relatively shalow pool, on the other hand, is warmed by the sun so it is quite pleasant. I have been to the resort. It is great.
