Say Goodbye to Basic: How to Create a Resort Style Pool at Home

by | Dec 29, 2025

Does your backyard swimming pool feel a little… uninspired? Many pools built ten or twenty years ago were designed with a “cookie-cutter” approach—standard white plaster, basic blue tile, and a simple concrete deck. While functional, these pools often lack the personality and wow factor that homeowners crave today.

If you are tired of looking at a plain rectangle of water, it is time to make a change.

At Classic Marcite, we believe you shouldn’t have to book a hotel to experience luxury. We can help you say goodbye to your boring and basic pool and say hello to the resort style pool you have always dreamed of.

Moving on from “Boring and Basic”

A “basic” pool often suffers from outdated aesthetics. The finish might be dull, the waterline tile might be faded, and the overall vibe just feels flat. It’s a pool you swim in, but not necessarily a space where you love to linger.

Transforming this space doesn’t always require digging a new hole in the ground. Often, a high-quality renovation is all it takes to completely alter the atmosphere of your backyard.

Designing Your Luxurious Oasis

What exactly makes a pool feel like a resort? It comes down to the details and selecting the right custom pool finishes. Here is how we can elevate your pool experience:

  • Premium Surfaces: Swapping out old plaster for a premium aggregate, like Pebble Tec, immediately changes the water color to a deep, inviting blue or a Caribbean turquoise.

  • Modern Tiling: Replacing outdated 6×6 tiles with modern glass mosaics or natural stone creates a sophisticated, high-end look.

  • Upgraded Features: Adding features like tanning ledges, water descents, or LED lighting turns a standard pool into a visual masterpiece.

By focusing on these elements, we create a resort style pool that everyone will surely enjoy—from the kids splashing around to the adults relaxing with a drink by the water.
