There are no water slides or hot tubs at these value-resort pools. Life vests and pool towels are provided; each pool area includes showers, restrooms, laundry facilities, and locker/storage options.
- Calypso Pool: main feature pool with themed fountain and kiddie pool section in the guitar headstock.
- Piano Pool: smaller, quieter option toward the back of the resort.
- Pool depths: approximately 3'6" to 4'9" (check signage at the pool).
