The Paradise Palms Resort Swimming Pool
The communal swimming complex is one of Paradise Palms’ main attractions. The resort describes its heated pool as approximately 2,400 square feet, with waterfalls, a grotto, a waterslide, two hot tubs and a splash pad for younger children.
It is a lovely place to spend time away from the theme parks, whether you want to cool off in the Florida sunshine, relax on a sun lounger or let the children enjoy the water features.
The pool area also has food and drink options nearby, making it convenient to spend a few hours enjoying the facilities without returning to your accommodation.
Pool hours, safety rules and access arrangements are set by the resort and may change. Check the official resort information during your stay, particularly if you are travelling with young children. The communal pool is not a substitute for supervision, as the resort states that there is no lifeguard.
Clubhouse, Cinema and Arcade
There is more to Paradise Palms than the swimming pool. The clubhouse provides a range of facilities for days when you want a break from the theme parks or need some indoor entertainment.
Free Cinema
The resort advertises a cinema with scheduled daily showings. It offers a welcome opportunity to escape the heat or enjoy a quieter family activity after a busy morning.
Check the current film schedule and screening times at the clubhouse, as these may change.
Arcade and Games
The arcade provides additional entertainment, with features listed by the resort including a pool table, driving games, crane games and virtual-reality games.
It can be a useful option for keeping older children and teenagers entertained, particularly when everyone wants a change from swimming or sightseeing.
Fitness Centre and Sauna
If you prefer to keep active during your holiday, the resort has a fitness centre. The official resort information states that a valid ID is required for entry and that guests aged 16–17 must be accompanied by an adult.
Check current access arrangements and the availability of individual facilities before your visit.
Sports Courts
Paradise Palms offers sports courts for activities including tennis, basketball, volleyball, pickleball, shuffleboard and soccer. Equipment rental arrangements and access requirements should be confirmed with the resort.
These shared facilities add flexibility to your holiday, giving everyone opportunities to stay active and enjoy time together.
Bar, Grill, Café and Marketplace
Paradise Palms has on-site food and drink options, which can be particularly convenient when you want to spend the day enjoying the resort.
The Bar & Grill advertises a menu featuring options such as burgers, chicken wings and fries, with drinks available. The café and marketplace serve Starbucks products, pastries and ice cream, alongside convenience items.
Opening times vary by facility and can change, so check the resort's current information during your stay.
You can, of course, also make use of your holiday home's kitchen for breakfast, snacks and family meals. Having both self-catering facilities and on-site dining gives you the flexibility to choose what works best each day.
Choose Your Paradise Palms Villa or Townhome
