Cabana Bay

There's plenty of pool space to enjoy at Cabana Bay. The hotel has two large pools, a slide and its own lazy river!

The hotel pools are split into two sides of the hotel, the Cabana Courtyard pool area and the Lazy River Courtyard.

At the Cabana Courtyard area you can find the slide with the fun waterfall feature at the end. As well as the pool, there's also a hot tub. The Cabana Courtyard is also where the majority of the pool side activities take place. It's a fun area to hang out in with picnic tables and a beach area with table tennis tables. There are even private Cabanas for rent.

The Lazy River Courtyard is the more relaxing side. There's a large pool and long lazy river. You can even rent floats to get the full experience of the lazy river. On this side you can also find The Hideaway Bar and Grill.

Aventura

The pool at Aventura is small but perfectly formed.

With only 600 rooms only one pool is needed to satisfy Aventura's guests. The beautiful white and blue pool is the perfect place to sunbathe and enjoy the gorgeous Florida weather. You can grab a cocktail from Bar Sol which is located right as you walk outside.

For those who like to spend the evenings relaxing by the pool there's a fire pit and a hot tub. Just like Cabana Bay Beach Resort there's a splash pad for kids to play in.

Winner

Cabana Bay Beach Resort is the obvious winner when it comes to pools. This doesn't mean the pool at Aventura is poor, it's just hard to compete with the water paradise that Cabana Bay offers.
