What is you location?Can you send a photo? Do you have any specific ideas of what you would like?
The world can never have enough trees. Maybe a cute little bench or a bordered flower garden .
Some designated edging filled with rubber mulch is excellent next to pools and any type of palm looks tropical and is easy maintenance. Annuals at the base of palms can add any color pop you choose to decorate with and can be changed easily as your pool and patio decor changes. There are so many types of palms to choose from too. Sagos practically take care of themselves and only need low maintenance in the spring time when the get new fronds and pop up little baby shoots at the base. If you remove those babies carefully you will have an endless supply of sago palms in just a few summers. There are some that grow well in shady areas too that are more frilly and soft looking.
Whatever you put near your pool or hottubs outdoors , don't forget that leaves and debris from biological materials are hard to clean out of pools... Perhaps a container garden that you can move when the wind blows leaves around.
