What's Wrong With This Picture?

Composite? Hotel has dark swimming pool right at edge?

I just got this in my email ... and there just seems to be so much wrong with it I don't know where to begin.   I did, however, click on it and look at the photos.  But they're just photos of ... of scenery.  One of them is just of some water with some clouds and a sunset and you could get that almost anywhere.  Now, the Machu Picchu one might have had a view - but probably not of Machu Picchu. 

I'll say the views are "incredible."  Especially the one above.  How is that a hotel view?  Where's the balcony?  Come to think of it, this couple doesn't even look wet.  For all we know, they drove 300 miles from their hotel to get in that water, if in fact they even are in water. 

It is also my experience with hotels that you end up with the sucky view.  I have many vacation photos of the rooftop HVAC systems and kitchen vents.  I don't know who's getting the ones with views (I've stayed on both sides of all the Disneyland hotels and seen mostly parking lots).  It sure as all heck isn't me.

I have seen some beautiful views - far away from hotels and the like.
