Enjoy your investment
I agree with this. That is what we did. Our last pool had a built in spa - very uncomfortable to sit in, and you need to heat it separately. In the summer, the heated water bleeds over to the pool and you don't want that in the summer here.

If you add an above ground hot tub, there is no need to get a gas heater. It's far more expensive to heat with gas than electric, and if you don't have natural gas at your home, propane is considerably more than natural... plus you need to add a propane tank somewhere on your property.
