Orlando Hotels with Pools

Listing Orlando hotels with a pool would list almost every hotel in Orlando. The decision is what kind of pool, and for whom.

30-Second Verdict

Toddlers need zero-entry. Adults need a separate quiet pool, not a quiet corner. Teenagers need something to do. Winter travelers need to ask whether the pool is heated, because a Florida January is colder than the photographs suggest.

The five kinds that matter

Pool types in Orlando and who they suit
TypeWhat it isWho needs it
Zero-entryA beach-style slope into the water rather than stepsToddlers and anyone unsteady on their feet
Sand-bottomA pool floor of sand rather than tileYounger children, and it is rare
Adults-onlyA separate pool with a minimum ageCouples, and families who want one hour of quiet
HeatedTemperature-controlled through the cooler monthsAnyone visiting between November and March
RooftopA smaller pool on the roof, usually with a viewCity hotels and couples

Heated is worth asking about

Orlando gets genuinely cool in January and February, and an unheated pool is unusable then. Hotels do not always state it, so ask directly if you are travelling in winter.

The picks by pool type

Disney's Beach Club Resort in EPCOT area
Best sand-bottom pool

Disney's Beach Club Resort

EPCOT area★★★★

  • On-Site
  • Best Rest Day
  • Pool
  • Lazy river
  • Water slides
  • Walkable to a park
  • Works without a car

Stormalong Bay's sand floor and shallow areas make it unusually good for small children, and the circulating channel and slide keep older ones busy. It is the strongest pool on Disney property.

Best for: Families with younger children on a Disney trip

Watch out: Restricted to Beach Club and Yacht Club guests, and busy. Deluxe rates.

Golden Oak, Walt Disney World★★★★★9.3/10157 reviews

  • Luxury Pick
  • Pool
  • Lazy river
  • Water slides

  • Luxury

The adults-only pool is far enough from Explorer Island that the two do not hear each other, which is what separate should mean and rarely does.

Best for: Mixed groups who want genuinely different days

Watch out: The highest rates in Orlando.

Two pools and a slide on a raised deck, which is a long way from what a convention hotel usually offers and the reason this hotel appears on leisure lists at all.

Best for: Convention travelers and families on the strip

Watch out: Rates follow the events calendar rather than the school one.

The trade-off

The best pools in Orlando sit at hotels that charge resort fees, and the hotels that charge no resort fee usually have a rectangle. There are very few exceptions, so decide how many pool hours the trip really contains before paying for the difference.

Common questions

Are Orlando hotel pools heated?

Many are, and not all. Orlando gets cool enough in January and February that an unheated pool is unusable, and hotels do not always state which they are. Ask directly if you are visiting in winter.

Which Orlando hotel has the best pool?

Stormalong Bay at Disney's Beach Club and Yacht Club Resorts is the best hotel pool on Disney property. Four Seasons Resort Orlando has the best overall, because it runs a family water area and an adults-only pool properly separated.

Do Orlando hotels have adults-only pools?

The luxury resorts generally do, and most family resorts do not. Where one exists, check how far it is from the family pool: a quiet corner of the same deck is not the same thing as a separate area.
