Best Indoor pool house plants

We are buying a house that has an indoor swimming pool room. I'm new to indoor plants around pool!
  I live in a town on the New Mexico/Texas border. We have all 4 seasons here and will be using pool heater during winter months.
What are the best plants?

    Hi there!

    I have a summer kitchen - unheated and I put my Boston Fern there during the winter months.  It gets the sun in the morning.  

    I would imagine any indoor plants would thrive - they'd probably enjoy the humidity.  Orchids like humidity but not heat.

    A good hoeing is worth two waterings.

    In some ways you're spoiled for choice in such an environment. It's warm and humid so will suit many tropical plants.
    The only problem I can think of is chlorine in the air which will not suit some plants.
    Those that I  have seen in the UK are mostly various palm trees in big pots.
