Read the latest TripAdvisor Reviews on the JW Marriott

  • Number of Waterfalls: Multiple Waterfalls are found streaming down the rock structures along your journey, but none of them cover a large section of the lazy river and are easy to float by without getting splashed.
  • Spraying Water: Water fountains flow from the bridges creating a stream of playful water into the lazy river.

  • Lifeguards: Lifeguards keep an eye on guests as they float around the lazy river. If they are not present, be careful as you float around, and keep an eye on your kids as they play.

Waterfalls at Every Turn (well, almost)

Entering the Lazy River, a gentle flow of water pushes you along on your inner tube. Beautifully stacked rocks form a wall around the edge of the 3-foot-deep (0.9 meters) river that flows around the entire pool area. Waterfalls can be seen around, almost every turn waiting to cool you down and add another wonderful sight and sound along your floatation path. Walking bridges add to the fun of your floating with streams of water flowing from the edges to get you wet but also act as a tunnel as you float underneath.

Getting Situated on a Hot Day

The Lazy River at the JW Marriott Grande Lakes is huge, but it can still get busy on hot Florida days. Getting to the pool area early is a great way to find your best seating and enjoy some time in the slow-flowing river before it gets crowded.

Water Slides

If you are looking for even more fun, head over to the exciting water slides that start at the top of Headwaters Tower. Three unique water slides are ready for you to plunge into the splash zones at the bottom.

  • Length: Approximately 520 feet long
  • Depth: 3.5 feet deep
  • Age Requirement: None Listed
  • Height Requirement: None Listed
  • Entrances: At the back of the water slides and Wake Zone, you will find one step entrance to the Lazy River. Another entrance is found on the opposite side. Both of these entry points use stairs to get to the rapid river. There is not a zero-entry point to the Crystal River Rapids.
  • Time it takes to float around: About 2.5 to 3 minutes
  • Unique Features: Wow! Speed, Relaxation, and Water Features! The speed at which you float around is probably the biggest stand-out feature of the Crystal River Rapids. It also has a large Sun Ledge where you can relax in very shallow water, and get some sun but stay cool.

Read the latest TripAdvisor Reviews on the Gaylord Palms

  • Number of Waterfalls: You will find three (3) waterfalls in the Crystal River Rapids. It is so fun floating through the cave with a waterfall at the beginning and another at the end. The waterfalls at the cave span about half of the lazy river width allowing you to go through or around the flowing water. Another waterfall is found flowing into the side of this fast-flowing river and is fun to slip under when you want to get cooled off.
  • Spraying Water: Watch out for the spraying water at one point in the rapids, where multiple streams of water pour out from the rock formation.
  • Tubes: Tubes are not provided and are not allowed in the Crystal River Rapids attraction. This is due to the fact that this Lazy River is faster than what you might be used to. Wearing a life vest is the best way to float around this fast-flowing river.
  • Lifeguards: Lifeguards are continually patrolling the Crystal River Rapids. This is more than a Lazy River. The Crystal River Rapids is a fast-moving ride so be sure you watch out for your smaller kids.

Experience the Thrills of Crystal River Rapids at the Gaylord Palms in Orlando

Let’s start with the Lazy River or, in this case, the Crystal River Rapids. Just seeing the word Rapids in the name should set your mind to thinking. Trust me, as you enter this lazy river, you will notice that it is a bit faster than the standard lazy river at other resorts. Water flows at about 3.5 feet per second, which might not seem fast, but you will feel the difference once you get in. The added speed makes the Lazy River at the Gaylord Palms stand out from the other Resorts. Since this is a faster river ride, inner tubes are not provided, as seen at other parks. Instead, you can put on one of the provided life vests to help you float along or get in without one. A floatation device keeps you above the water if you want to enjoy floating along the river. Also, this not-so-lazy river has a depth of 3.5 feet, making it a little deeper than the standard 3-foot lazy river at other resorts.

Get Refreshed under the Waterfalls of the Rapids

Multiple water fountains and waterfalls keep you cooled off as you float. In one turn, massive leaves rain water down on you as you pass under them. Our family loved going through the cave system with two waterfalls, one on each end. Waterfalls flow on the left side of the cave while you can escape the heavy water flow on the right. If you are with family or friends, watch out; they might push you into the waterfalls for fun. Another waterfall flows from a large rock wall, and water sprays out into the river from yet another wall. Be sure to give this River Rapids ride a try. It is very exciting and fun.

Feel the Adrenaline Rush at the Big Cypress Tower Water Slides

Want some extreme fun? Head over to the Big Cypress Tower to test the Florida Free Fall Water Slide. Get ready for some speed as you plummet from the top of the tower into a swirling bowl before dropping out into the splash zone. Grab a friend or family member and take on the Tamiami Twister, where you have two similar enclosed slides, and you can see who can get to the splash area first. Each water slide at the Big Cypress Tower requires the rider to be at least 48″ tall.

Conquer the Wake Zone

Extreme fun is waiting for you at The Wake Zone. Test your skills on the Flowrider machine at the Gaylord Palms in Orlando. Feel the water rushing below your boogie board as you work through your tricks on the water. The Wake Zone is an additional fee to ride, but for those looking for an adventure, it could be worth the added expense.

Book your stay at the Gaylord Palms Resort in Orlando and enjoy a wonderful time at the thrilling water park. Once you visit, it is easy to see why it makes the list of wonderful Lazy River Hotels in Orlando.

Read the latest TripAdvisor Reviews on the JW Marriott

  • Tubes: Provided for free and found at various entrances to the Lazy River
  • Lifeguards: Several stationed around the park and watching over the lazy river

Getting Settled in for your day at the Water Park

As you make your way through the entrance, grab some towels and find your seating for the day. We found it a good idea to get to the park when it opened to get the best seating. Of course, The Grove Resort also has Premium Seating or Cabanas for rent. This seating is an additional cost but does ensure you get a nice location for the entire day and might be worth the added expense.

Building Excitement with Water Slides

You will see the large water slide tower in the distance. Older kids and adults should head towards the water slides first to get the fastest rides. At the top of the tower, take your pick between the open flume green slide and the enclosed yellow slide. Both of these slides are great fun, and they are very different from one another. Give them both a try and see which one you like the most.

Relax on the Lazy River

When you are ready to slow things down but still be in the water, the Lazy River is the place to be. It was nice having multiple entrances to the Lazy River. It made getting in and out of different locations around the park easier. The splash zone connects to the Lazy River if you go on the water slides. Once you finish your descent from either water slide, you can start your journey along the slow-flowing river. Tubes are provided for free and are found all around the entrances to the Lazy River. At 3 feet, the Grove Resort Lazy River is the standard depth you will find at many of the Lazy River Hotels Orlando. Still, if you have smaller kids and need a life preserver, these can be rented for your time at the water park.

Lazy River with Tubes and zero entry access at the Reunion Resort in Orlando

  • Depth: 3 feet (0.9 meters)
  • Age Requirement: Not Listed
  • Height Requirement: Not listed

Zero entry is provided at the pool, and easing your way across the large pool to the lazy river is wonderful. You will also find multiple entry points and exit points along the way. Two (2) exit points at the water slide and one over at the kid’s splash park. Getting a ride on the Lazy River will take you to all of the other locations at the Reunion Resort Water Park.
  • Time it takes to float around: About 6 minutes and 30 seconds (depending on stops and speed)

Read the latest TripAdvisor Reviews on the Reunion Resort

  • Number of Waterfalls: Four waterfalls splash into the water from large rock formations as you float along this lazy river. Two waterfalls flow from the beautiful tall rock structures on the side of the lazy river. These waterfalls are easy to float by without getting splashed. In contrast, the two waterfalls at the cave system are more difficult to maneuver past. One waterfall is at the cave entrance and has an opening on the right side if you don’t want to have the water splashing on you, but on the exit, it is not easy to get through without the water splashing you. The waterfalls at the Reunion Resort keep you cool and are a lot of fun on a hot day.
  • Tubes: Inner tubes are provided for guests of the Reunion Resort in Orlando. You will see tubes at all entrances and exits, but most of the tubes are found at the main pool entrance to the lazy river.
  • Lifeguards: Lifeguards are on duty to keep an eye on guests as they float around the lazy river.

Lazy River Fun at Reunion Resort

My family and I had an amazing time floating along the Lazy River at the Reunion Resort. Big, yellow tubes are provided at the Lazy River entrance, making floating down the river enjoyable, and it was so much fun to do it together.

Thrills in the Cave Section

One of the most exciting areas of the Lazy River was the cave section, where we enjoyed the thrill of passing through the cave and encountering the waterfall at the entrance and exit. It was really fun as you entered the cave as you had dripping water inside. Other waterfalls also flowed down the rocks along the Lazy River path, providing a rejuvenating break from the Florida heat.

Relaxation in the Back Section

We especially enjoyed the back section of the Lazy River, where we found a more secluded area with lounge chairs and additional seating. It was a great place to relax and escape the crowds around the kids’ splash park and the large zero-entry pool.

Safety at the Lazy River

It felt safe along the Lazy River at the Reunion Resort, with Lifeguards positioned at various locations. As a parent, it is reassuring to have someone looking out for the well-being of your kids as they have fun in the Lazy River.

Crowds and Timing

Depending on the time you visit the Water Park at Reunion Resort, the Lazy River can sometimes get crowded. We found that getting to the park early and finding a more quiet space on the back side of the water park was a great option. It was also nice having access to the water slide steps from this area.

Recommendation

Overall, I highly recommend the Reunion Resort Water Park as one of the top Lazy River Hotels Orlando. Reunion Resort is great for anyone looking to have a fun and relaxing time with their family.

Read the latest TripAdvisor Reviews on Cabana Bay Resort

One of my favorite places to stay when visiting Universal in Orlando is the Cabana Bay Beach Resort. There is just something about the 1950s theme in this resort that makes it stand out. While you can’t go wrong with any of their resorts, the Cabana Bay Beach Resort is the only Universal Orlando Resort with a Lazy River and a Water Slide.

Get in some Exercise While Exploring Cabana Bay’s Massive Pools

Universal’s Cabana Bay Resort is huge! Getting from the Lazy River to the Water Slide takes a little effort. But let’s take this as a great way to exercise and enjoy the journey between the two massive pools at this resort.

Journey Through the Calm Lazy River at Cabana Bay’s South Courtyard Pool

Having two (2) large pools at Cabana Bay breaks up the number of guests at the Northern Courtyard and Southern Courtyard Pools. However, you will find the wonders of a 650-foot lazy river at the South Courtyard Pool. Palm Trees tower over the river, and greenery provides a pretty surrounding. Watch out for the water fountains continuously flowing in a stream at locations along the river. Two (2) waterfalls add excitement along your journey and the tranquil ride.

Don’t Forget Your Inner Tube! Purchase One at the Tube Shack

While having an inner tube for the lazy river is not required, it is more enjoyable. Tubes are not provided for free at the Lazy River, but you can bring your own or purchase one at the Tube Shack beside the Lazy River. Adult and Kid-sized tubes are available for purchase and are great souvenirs with the Cabana Bay logo.

Fun for the Whole Family: Water Slides and Kid’s Splash Area at the Northern Pool

We also enjoyed our time at the Northern Pool, where you will find a 90-foot water slide. Built into a structure resembling a multi-tier diving tower, climb the stairs to the top of the slide and ride down into the splash zone. Zero entry is available at both pools, making it a much safer environment for the little ones. Talking about little ones, Cabana Bay also has a wonderful kids’ splash area with bubbling fountains and sprinklers near the steps of the water slide. White sand adds to the feel of a day at the beach with sand between your toes and a fun place for kids to play.

Make the Most of Your Day with a Poolside Cabana Rental at the Northern Pool

If you want your own private space and a guaranteed spot by the Pool, consider renting one of the poolside cabanas at the northern Pool.</

Book your stay at the Universal Orlando Cabana Bay Resort and your family will love the pools, water slide and lazy river.

  • Lifeguards: Lifeguards are stationed at multiple areas of the lazy river and Stormalong Bay Water Park. As you watch the lifeguards diligently pace back and forth watching the water, it gives you a sense of peace that your kids are being watched very closely.

Read the latest TripAdvisor Reviews on Disney Beach Club

If you want to stay at a Disney World Resort with a Lazy River, there are only two options, the Disney Beach Club or Disney Yacht Club Resort. These two properties on Crescent Lake are in the Disney World Deluxe Resorts level and offer guests a relaxing stay with 3 acres of water fun at Stormalong Bay.

Build a sand castle and relax by the pool

Build a sand castle in the sand beside the sand-bottom pool, or get your lounge chairs set up and relax by one of the other pools at Stormalong Bay. Grab a tube near the lazy river, and float along the water, moving from pool to pool. Slow moving, this is truly a river that adds to the lazy part of your day. Lifeguards are constantly watching from perched seating and walking back and forth on the water’s edge to keep an eye on you and your family.

Experience the Stormalong Bay Lazy River

There are no tall trees around the Stormalong Bay Lazy River, as you will see at other resorts in Orlando with a Lazy River. There are also no waterfalls or spraying water as you gently float along. It is a beautiful location, though with a North Eastern feel. A couple of large wooden step bridges allow guests to walk over the lazy river and give you a small cave-like feel as you go underneath. At a depth of 5 – 8 feet, the Lazy River at Disney Beach and Yacht Club is the deepest we have seen at an Orlando Resort. Enter from multiple locations into the 250-foot circular part of the river and float very slowly. We enjoy the relaxing rate of this lazy river as it takes about 6 minutes to make it around the short loop. As you leave the main part of the lazy river, float along the path that connects you to the open pool areas.

Slide down the 230-foot water slide

To get to the massive 230-foot water slide, exit the water park gate and walk over to the large shipwreck on the beach. Climbing the stairs that lead to the mast of the ship is an exciting climb. Once at the top, we could see the entire beach area and the Disney Boardwalk. Then, getting in position, it is time for the adventure as you start in a dark, enclosed tube section of the slide, making your way to twists and turns before splashing down at the main pool. A lifeguard is stationed at the top of the slide and the splash-down zone to keep things running smoothly.

Relax in a Cabana overlooking the Pools at Stormalong Bay

Cabanas are available for rent at Stormalong Bay. A private setting and a guaranteed spot by the pool can be a wonderful addition to your day

Access to Stormalong Bay

Stormalong Bay is for guests at the Disney Beach Club and Disney Yacht Club Resort only. A lifeguard is located at the entrance checking guests as they enter.

Book your stay at Disney’s only Lazy River Hotel in Orlando, the Disney’s Beach Club Resort, and experience the largest water park at a Disney Resort.
