Spooky 
I have to say that after seeing these pics, I’ve decided I’d love to visit this place as much as I’d love to visit Devil’s Pool, at Victoria Falls, in Zimbabwe. It’s just one of those sights that simply takes your breath away.
This man-made wonder is 1013 meters long covers 80 acres, its deepest end reaches 115ft and it holds 66 million gallons of water. If you want to take a dip in the world’s largest swimming pool you’ll have to travel to San Alfonso del Mar in Algarrobo, Chile, where a computer-controlled suction and filtration system continuously pumps water from the ocean, keeping crystal clear.
Although it wasn’t cheap, costing around $2 billion to build and another $4 million/year for maintenance, the pool seems to be worth it as it has been attracting huge crowds of curious tourists, since it opened in December.

That looks so cool! If only i was older. The hotel doesn’t look that bad. I’ve seen worse. funny dumb guy skit from T – Lada. LOL
Yeah this place is sweet i was there last thursday-
ZOMG NO WAY STEVE!!I WAZ THURR 2!Zomg!
It is pretty cool, I live a block away. I can see it every day from my bedroom window. My 2 million dollar, 28 story, 17 acre mansion, not to brag or anything, has a perfect view of it and the ocean. It’s definitely a place to consider moving. The pool is ridiculously large though and it’s a great place to cool off. I don’t think it’s big enough though, because if you can see the end, it’s too small.
were is this place or swimming pool
Ummm…I think most ocean front hotels have pools….. I would love to go somewhere like this. You feel like you are at the beach (and you are) but you don’t have to deal with the sand and the waves and all that stuff if you just want to relax. Don’t get me wrong, I love swimming in the waves, but you can’t really relax in the ocean. I would totally go here if I had the $2000 it would cost in air fair for me.
Chile is not communist. Are you really that ignorant?
google it sherlockt
good place to have sex lol
with me?? Please with me
nice pool and all that,i wonder what other fanciful thing they will do next,that they are intelligent enough really shows that we are made in the image of God,cos God is the master creator.
Because of the sharks. They eat people.
send me some mor pics of swimming pool.
too bad the country’s leadership is so corrupt, the government deprives its citizens the guarantee of running water.
…looks like the foreigners have plenty of it.
ignorant fucks need not reply. move on, approve of this evil side of globalism and ask some fucking questions.
peace and love,

Wonder how many lifeguards working there?
i wounder how big it is and if there are any diving boards
chile is not comunist. It is a beatifull country with lovely warm people and the fastest growing economy in South America. The Andes mountains is nearby and all year snowed over. In summer time the snow melts and run down to the ocean in lovely cool steams of 0 degrees. So while you have all this beauty and lovely temperatures in summer with a freezing ocean how do you attract tourist. Build a fricken big POOL. !!!!!!!
Yo, try $2 BILLION
Ocean water temperature is low in Chile because of the Humboldt current coming from Antarctica (the opposite effect of the Gulf current raising it in Europe), not from snow melting.
Yes, many stupid and resentful people posting. I am from Argentina, Chile´s ocasional enemy (their goverment boasted of helping the British during the Falkland war, but that´s another story), and I can still admire this engineering feat. And then I go to -warmer, friendlier- beaches in Argentina and Brazil . . .
Is this far enough from Mexico?
so large pool
Because the ocean is cold in Chile. Check upwelling

It looks amazing but did it really cost $2 Billion, thats crazy money. It may look amazing but give me the Caribbean Sea made by nature any day of the week.
Hello, Im from Chile, we are not communists, also, no evil government prive us of fresh, drinkable water, please If you don’t know enough of a country don’t talk things like that, the internet is a open place where anyone can learn about a topic before give opinions, use this resource at your benefit.
The concern about the cost of the giant pool is because the cost is expresed in Chilean PESO, about 1/542 U$D.
Also for the friend from Argentina PLEASE WE ARE NOT ENEMYS, PEACE FOREVER.
That’s a lot of pool to be drained when someone poops.

Glad to see that there’s a native Chilian here. Just in case anyone doesn’t know the traditional greeting in Chile is “Pisco es peruano!” Make sure to say that to all your Chilian friends.
