Unforgettable Hotel Pools on Florida’s Paradise Coast

The hotels on the Paradise Coast understand this. That’s why they go to great lengths to create extraordinary pool environments on their properties. Here are just five of the many Naples and Marco Island hotels you can count on to deliver an unforgettable poolside experience. 

Naples Grande Beach Resort

The luxurious Naples Grande Beach Resort’s three pools each offer distinct experiences. The big, family-friendly Mangrove Pool, terrific for kids, gradually deepens from inches to approximately five feet. The star attraction is a spectacular waterslide that twists 100 feet around a landscaped rock tower and through waterfalls, providing a refreshing thrill for everyone.

A more relaxing time awaits at the adults-only Palm Terrace Pool, which has private cabanas available for rent. Both locations are bordered by a lush mangrove forest, with a boardwalk that leads to the gleaming Gulf beach. Finally, the Hibiscus Hideaway provides a more private setting for guests looking to do some water aerobics or lap swimming.

JW Marriott Marco Island Beach Resort

A 30-acre luxury retreat, the JW Marriott Marco Island Beach Resort sits next to a wide stretch of private Gulf beach, and has three pools that provide convenient access and sweeping views. Get your splash on at the vast Tiki Pool, ideal for family fun with its waterslide and waterfall. Quinn’s Pool, lined with palm trees, invites more quiet experiences. Guests at the 94-room, adults-exclusive Paradise by Sirene — a resort within a resort — have access to a rooftop pool and sun deck, with valets catering to your every whim.

Top tip: Watching the sunset from the top of the nine-floor Lanai Tower is not to be missed.

Hilton Marco Island Beach Resort & Spa

The pool at the Hilton Marco Island Beach Resort & Spa is all about fun and convenience. It’s easily accessible from anywhere on the 310-room property, which is an advantage for families with small children. The pool is surrounded by colorful umbrellas and palm trees, and offers plenty of fun toys like noodles and kickboards. The covered Deck at 560 restaurant is just steps away, and a short boardwalk leads you to an open expanse of white-sand beach.

Inn on Fifth

Situated right on elegant Fifth Avenue South in the heart of downtown Naples, Inn on Fifth offers an intimate sun-swim-and-relax experience. The small pool is situated in a large courtyard, surrounded by a lovely deck with abundant lounge chairs, umbrellas, plants and trees. This is a perfect spot for grownups to sip cocktails and slip into the water for refreshing dips — or slide into the adjacent hot tub. When it’s time to get out of the pool, you’ll find all of Naples’ shops and restaurants within easy walking distance.
