RANKING BEST HOTEL POOLS FOR LITTLE KIDS 👶
 B RANKING BEST HOTEL POOLS FOR LITTLE KIDS 👶
 Because not all hotel pools are created equal when you’ve got little kids… ☀️Baha Mar (Bahamas) – Best for Variety
The waterpark just can’t be beat! Three resorts, one mega waterpark with a toddler splash pad, wave pool, and lazy river. Plus flamingos + sea turtles and cliff jumping. My kids constantly ask to go back here. ☀️Four Seasons Costa Rica – Best Pool-to-Beach Flow
This pool is beautifully designed with families in mind—shallow areas for little kids, plenty of shaded loungers, and just steps from two gorgeous beaches. The hardest decision you face each day is where to go first… pool… beach… pool… beach. ❄️Fairmont Whistler (Canada) – Best Winter Pool Scene
Skiing, snowball fight, jump in pool — that’s the routine in Whistler every day. I love this hotel pool because of the connected indoor + outdoor flow, and cozy saunas on the deck. (Tip: I like to sneak the kids here first thing in the morning before ski school for a quick dip in the snow, all to ourselves.) ☀️Auberge Susurros del Corazón (Mexico) – Best for Little Explorers
This beachfront pool is calm, quiet, and made for little explorers—think shallow shelves, smooth rock formations, and varying depths that create built-in play zones. It’s a great spot if you’re looking for a scene that’s not overwhelming for a baby or little kid. ☀️Four Seasons Orlando (Florida) – Best Lazy River
My kids would not exit this lazy river!! Round and round we went for hours. It’s beautifully designed among the trees, and you can hop out of the “river” for a quick dip in one of the pools, or check out the splash zones too.

⭐️This villa had it all: room to spread out, 22 m pool, beautiful grounds for kids to explore, private chefs, and a dreamy Provençal setting.
We explored nearby towns like ⭐️Gordes - Have dinner at @airiellesgordes ⭐️I’isle Sur La Sorgue - knwon for antiquing ⭐️Saignon - Have dinner at Le Jardin Sur La Toit ⭐️Roussillon- The town is a breathtaking orange color.
