The other thing we absolutely loved was the spa connected to the pool - the water flows over into the pool and it was really fun to sit in the spa while the kids swam in the pool.
Keep in mind your pool location with big trees ( leaves clog the filter) and where you will get shade for a patio - maybe tall cypress trees that don't lose leaves? The closer to the house was better for us..
We really loved having an inground pool and our house was always filled with neighbors and friends so we got to have the kids stay home instead of wanting to go elsewhere to play. I really miss it even though we have one of those gargantuan pools now down the hill in our backyard, it's not the same as having an entertainment patio right outside the house where you can BBQ and swim.
Have fun with it!
