This is a tough one. While several Orlando resorts offer fantastic water park experiences, we would have to choose a few for the top of our list.
- The Grove Resort & Water Park stands out for sure in 2025. It’s one of few resorts with a full on-site water park, including a lazy river, water slides, a FlowRider surf simulator, and a splash zone for little ones.
- JW Marriott has to be on the list with the updated, massive water slides you typically would find in larger water parks in Orlando. Add the Splash Cove for the kids and a lazy river, which certainly tops the list.
- Gaylord Palms definitely makes our list. What a unique place to stay with its beautiful glass atrium full of wonder and the water park features. With the addition of 2 large, towering water slides, a long lazy river, and a Wake Zone Flowrider, this resort has no shortage of water fun.
- Westgate Lakes is always a good choice if you want many outdoor activities and a great place to stay. We love the Westgate Resorts for their convenience and lower prices (typically). The full water park at Westgate Lakes is also impressive, with a Lazy River, a kids’ splash park, and multiple large water slides. It is a great place to cool off any time of the year.
