H2O Pool + Bar

H2O is a hidden gem. You wouldn't know about this place unless you stayed at the San Luis hotel that it's connected to or if someone introduced it to you. The martini's are amazin. The white chocolate is a fave of mine as well as the blue bikini, neither of those are on the menu but please ask and try one! The food is good but it doesn't come with much, just enough to cushion your drinks. Go for a swim while you're at it or lounge in one of the covered cabanas. In the cooler months and at night, they light the torches so enjoy the mood. The waitresses are cordail and sweet but if it's crowded expect t wait a little longer.

So I must say that I am a HUGE fan of drinking in the pool, and this bar was awesome when it first opened. I have been here twice now, and the first time we went was amazing. The second time was only alright because now you need a wristband to drink in the pool. If you do not have a wristband, they will find you, and ask you to get out of the pool. Now you can only obtain a wristband by actually staying at the San Louis. My friends and I managed to avoid these people for a while, but it is annoying, especially when you pay so much for drinks in the first place. H2O bar is fun, expensive, and if you want to drink in the pool, you better find a wristband. Otherwise you will drink on the sidelines, and then, why not just stay in Houston? If anything, I wouldnt mind paying for a wristband. Maybe they could offer that?

I thought my friends and I were going to look BLINDINGLY glamorous swimdrinking at this very beautiful and popular vampire bar.  When we arrived, we were promptly escorted back down the stairs and told that we weren't hot enough to join the undead orgy and sacrifice.

I'm still giving this place five stars because it looked really cool way up above the rest of the squalor of Galveston where we belonged.  Like an aquatic bordello of the gods.
