Family-friendly Hotels with Water Slides in Orlando

When searching for the suitable Orlando Hotel in Orlando with water slides for your family, it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With a little guidance, it can actually be quite fun! Here are some friendly tips to help you narrow down your options and create unforgettable memories:

• Age-Appropriate Amenities: When choosing a hotel, consider the age of your children. Some hotels feature large water slides, while others offer kids’ splash parks with smaller slides. If you have children in both age groups, it’s best to find a hotel that provides a combination of large and small slides to accommodate everyone.
• Safety Features: This is very important when you have smaller kids. Of course, you will be watching over them while they play in and around the water but it is always nice to have a second set of eye to help out. When safety is of utmost importance, consider hotels with lifeguards, clearly posted safety rules, and well-maintained water attractions.
• Additional Water Features: Waterslides are great but having more water park activities is better. Lazy rivers are always a great addition and are a fun adventure for all ages. Smaller children and older adults will appreciate zero-entry access into pools, and the little ones will love having their own splash park.
• Proximity to Attractions: If you are visiting Orlando with your family, its a good chance you will visit Disney World, Universal, or SeaWorld. Keeping this in mind, it is important to choose a hotel that’s conveniently located near the attractions you plan to visit. If you stay at a Disney Resort, you get the benefits of Complementary transportation but this is not the case at all nearby hotels. Be sure to check with the hotel to see if they have a shuttle service to the parks you want to visit. It just makes the stay easier.
• Family-Friendly Perks: Saving money is huge on a vacation to Orlando. Look for extras at the hotels you are considering, like free meals for kids, on-site restaurants, or organized activities. Some hotels even have character meet-and-greet that add a whole new level of fun.
• Budget Considerations: Whether you’re looking for a luxury resort or a budget-friendly option, Orlando has something for every price range. Make sure the hotel’s amenities align with your family’s needs and have a great trip to Orlando.

When you keep these tips in mind while searching for your next stay, it will help to guide you to the perfect family-friendly hotel with water slides in Orlando. Doing so will help to ensure that your vacation is as memorable as possible.

The Loews Sapphire Falls Resort is part of the Universal Resorts in Orlando and is an amazing tropical escape. We loved our stay here and enjoyed the relaxed island vibe. We found many exciting activities at the resort that our whole family enjoyed. The main attraction is its expansive and very unique pool area. What makes it different is the walkway, right in the middle of the pool, gently slopes to deeper water on both sides.

Of course, we also liked having a water slide that splashed down in a private area of the pool so as not to affect anyone else enjoying the quiet areas around the pool. The lush landscaping makes you feel like you are in a tropical paradise. We found that if we went to the pool before the crowds, we could always find seating tucked away from the main groups around the pool. It feels like your own private paradise.
