7 Hotels with Pools in Orlando for Family Travelers

The Orlando World Marriott brings its Falls Pool Oasis pool game to the big leagues. Their recent pool makeover saw the installation of two 200-foot winding water slides, a 90-foot speed water slide as well as lots of pool space. The hotel is a short jaunt from Disney World, SeaWorld, and Universal Studios, however, there is no lack of amusement at the resort!

Each of Disney’s six Caribbean Beach villages has its own elaborate pool along with the gigantic Spanish-fortress themed main pool complete with water cannons and water slides that will have your kids in their bathing suits before you’re even done checking in.

The Hard Rock Hotel brings the party poolside. A sandy beach, a 260-foot slide, interactive fountains and play area will delight the whole family to no end and the underwater sound system will have everyone dancing.

While we doubt you’ll get bored poolside with the half-acre-large, grotto-themed pool with 12 waterfalls, a water slide tower, and even a rock-climbing station, but the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress also has a lake. Indeed! With 1000 feet of sandy beach access on the private lake Windsong you can do water sports and or build sand castles galore.

The huge pool complex at the Floridays Resort Orlando has options for the enthusiastic lap swimmer, the water splasher and the Jacuzzi chiller. With so many options for ducking out of the hot Florida sun, you’ll have to get the whiteboard marker out and create an activity schedule just for the pools here.

The JW Marriott Orlando Grande Lakes is part of the huge Ritz-Carlton-Marriott complex. With poolside dining and drinks, an enormous lazy river outdoor pool, you won’t have to leave the water till your fingers are pruney. Remember to wait 30 minutes after eating before getting in the water! Just kidding–that’s an old wives tale.

Take a break from the cannonballs and hit up the lap pool while the kids enjoy the interactive play area. The Marriott’s Grande Vista resort has four swimming pools, giving you plenty of space to spread out, as well as whirlpool spas, steam rooms, and saunas.
