The centerpiece of the Cabana Bay Beach Resort is the pair of courtyards with enormous zero-entry swimming pools. The 8,000-square-foot zero-entry Lazy River Courtyard pool has a sand beach and a lazy river with waterfalls and water cannons.

The 10,000-square-foot Cabana Courtyard pool features a sand beach with a dive tower and waterslide, interactive kids' play area, and cabanas for rent.

The pool areas are the venue for a variety of family-fun activities, including hula-hoop contests, splash contents and poolside movies. There are also four fire pits where families can make s'mores. S’more kits are available at the Bayliner Diner, or you can bring your own supplies.

You can take a fun and relaxing journey down the lazy river where you’ll float by lush landscaping and encounter waterfalls, water cannons, and other interactive water features.
