I don't like the pool in the front of the suite, to me the view is out back and were we spent most of our time. The pools are all heated and cooled in the hot summer months. You only see other guests if you venture off your terrace or really try to look.One of the other guests walked out into the dessert and when they turned to come back they could look right into our suite. This should really not be an issue after a few more snake bits. If you like it hot then end of June - August. October we had strong sun and blue skies and spent lots of time out in the sun and and swimming in many of the pools.
