Too big of a space at corner?

My pool is currently being installed. To me, the hot tub is the focal point and all I can see is this gap between the tiles. I would think they would start from this corner when placing rather than ending here with gap. The other side looks perfect (noted in third picture). They told me it's normal and won't be as noticeable once water is in the pool, but to me, I don't think it looks right. Is this gap acceptable? Thank you.IMG_7105.jpegIMG_7106.jpegIMG_7110.jpeg
 
Welcome to TFP.

The tile guy might have planned the tile layout better and given you wider grout lines to not have a large grout line at that corner. But he didn't.

I doubt anyone, other then you, will notice it.

If that is your only issue with the tile work you got a pretty good job.

Even for my for tiles edges around skimmer is really bad . Is this white grout or light grey . I had light grey but it looks almost white so very noticeable
 
Here is something similar on ours.
Same general idea as yours .
They started both sides of inner corners of spa with full tiles to avoid that, however that grout line is slightly wider
Our grout is sand colored so its probably not as noticeable.
That being said, I dont think it will be noticeable at all with water.
