I've been arguing with my pool builder for over a year about the way our spa spills over to the pool. I don't think it is done correctly. They actually forgot to do until after they had poured the shell. They had to break it up and insert the drain tubes. I think it looks very sloppy. But I searched and couldn't find any pictures of this set-up here or anywhere else online. Any thoughts?
Spa to pool spillover (does this look right?)

It looks very industrial, doesn't it? Hard to say whether it detracts from the overall appearance of your pool without seeing a wider-angle photo, however. If you still have some leverage with the pool builder (or even if you don't) and are very unhappy with the result, insist that the builder re-do it -- and this time, BE THERE to supervise! 
It seems that most builders/buyers like wide-mouthed open spa spillovers; but I chose to have one that is under the coping, rectangular, slate lined and only a few inches above the pool water line, so as to be almost obscure and nearly silent. The spillover in the picture you provided resembles a stormwater diversion from a culvert. Ouch!
