1. Grand Wailea, A Waldorf Astoria Resort — Maui, Hawaii
The Wailea Canyon Activity Pool at Grand Wailea tops our list of the best hotels with pools for kids, and for good reason. It is one of the most elaborate resort pool complexes in the world. This 770,000-gallon water wonderland spreads across nine pools and six levels. Truly unique is the world’s first water elevator, a signature feature that gently lifts swimmers up to the next pool level.
Families can float along a lazy river, explore hidden caves, splash under six waterfalls, and swing out over the water on a Tarzan rope swing. There are also seven waterslides for your zipping pleasure. The most exhilarating option is the Outdoor Lava Tube Slide, a 14-second ride that drops three stories at speeds up to 22 miles per hour. Younger kids love the sand “baby” beach, while adults gravitate toward three Jacuzzis and a swim-up bar.
Those aged 18+ can escape the excitement at Hibiscus Serenity Pool. The bottom of this pretty pool is decorated with 630,000 glass mosaic tiles shaped like Hawaii’s state flower.


2. JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa — San Antonio, Texas
The River Bluff Water Experience at JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country serves a big dose of super‑sized fun in a setting that showcases the natural beauty of Texas Hill Country. Little ones love the zero‑entry children’s pool, where animal‑shaped fountains and three small water slides keep them content. Bigger kids and adults can take on four thrilling full-sized water slides. Meanwhile, everyone can unwind together at the resort’s sandy beach area.
A highlight is floating along a Cyprus-tree-lined, 1,100-foot-long lazy river with walls formed from natural stones. For some mischievous entertainment, kids can spin and pump various water cannons to spray other guests afloat on the river. This was my toddler son’s absolute favorite part of our stay years ago.


3. Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa — Oahu, Hawaii
Disney CEO Bob Iger set out to create an aquatic playground that would stand out among the best hotel pools in Hawaii, and Aulani delivers. Most of the resort’s water play centers around Waikolohe Valley, home to the zero‑entry Waikolohe Pool. The resort’s Waikolohe Stream lazy river winds through palm trees and tropical blooms, with surprise fountains and a bubbling volcanic cave along the way. Families also love Aulani’s two full‑sized waterslides, five whirlpool spas, the Menehune Bridge play structure, and the Keiki Cove Splash Zone designed for young children.
I loved Aulani’s water features so much that I wrote a full guide to water activities at Aulani Resort. When you tire of splashing in the hotel pools, check out the best things to do in Oahu with kids.


4. Fairmont Scottsdale Princess — Scottsdale, Arizona
For a beach day in the Sonoran Desert, the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess impresses with 9,000 square feet of soft white sand beach leading to the zero‑entry Sunset Beach Pool. Summer in Scottsdale brings dive‑in movies and lively laser-light-show pool parties, making the Princess a favorite for Arizona staycations among Phoenicians like me. With heated hotel pools all year-long, though, there’s always splashy memories to be made.
With six pools total, families have plenty of ways to cool off. Kids flock to Sonoran Splash for its two twisting 200‑foot waterslides. For a mellower family-friendly experience, Sunset Splash is the place to be. Meanwhile, the Princess Pool offers views of the TPC Stadium Golf Course and the resort’s lagoons. Grown‑ups can retreat to the adults‑only Sonoran Landing Pool or the Well & Being Rooftop Pool for spa‑day serenity. For Privado Villas guests, the Privado Pool overlooks the TPC Scottsdale Stadium Golf Course with McDowell Mountain views in the distance.


5. Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa — Maui, Hawaii
I have been to Maui several times, and as a hotel pool fanatic, the Hyatt Regency Maui is my go-to resort. It’s home to some of the world’s first fantasy pools, which meander through the property’s lush landscaping. The Lahaina Pool features waterfalls, a rope bridge, and a basketball hoop for an aquatic game. Best of all for big kids is the hotel’s 150-foot lava tube slide. For a quieter experience, head to the smaller Napili Pool.
The resort’s Keiki Lagoon is a zero-entry pool area designed for little kids. It’s the perfect place for playing with water toys and pool floats. There are also play fountains aplenty for splashing and a 25-foot waterslide for toddlers and young grade-schoolers.

At night, the central Falls Lagoon Pool transforms into a laser light show that bounces off the water.

8. Disneyland Hotel — Anaheim, California
My whole family was spellbound by the magic of the Monorail Waterslides at the Disneyland Hotel.

Meanwhile, younger kids can glide down a two‑lane mini‑slide and splash in playful bubble jets.
The pool complex also includes the E-Ticket Pool, a more traditional pool. A quieter D-Ticket Pool is where to go to swim laps to burn off theme park treats. Cabanas are available to rent, which include shaded seating, a TV, and dedicated service. Additionally, Disneyland Hotel Villas guests have access to the artist’s palette-shaped Palette Pool and Steamboat Willie Splash Area filled with pop jets, play fountains, a waterfall, and more.

Private cabanas are perfect for getting the kids to actually sit down and eat when you order lunch from the poolside café. Keep the swimsuits handy for when the sun sets because that’s when dive-in movies and s’mores making begin.”

The pools are complimentary for resort guests and those staying at nearby sister properties, Hilton Grand Vacations Club Kohala Suites Waikoloa and Hilton Grand Vacations Club Kings’ Land Waikoloa. Day passes are also available for purchase. My family stayed at Kohala Suites and loved the extra space to spread out, a quieter on‑site pool, and a more relaxed vibe.
