Sunny Kissimmee wouldn’t be complete without plenty of pool bar options. And in this area, there are so many to choose from that allow you and your family to spend all day relaxing by the water with a drink in hand and a meal ready to eat. Take a look at a few of the most amazing pool bars in the area below. 

Meliã Orlando Celebration

You may already know about Meliã Orlando Celebration’s amazing 360-degree pool, but did you know they have incredible poolside service as well? Lounge by the heated pool and relax with a drink in hand while watching the little ones splash around or enjoy a quiet moment to yourself in the jacuzzi. The shade of the palm trees casts a perfect shadow from the sunshine that beams down almost daily in sunny Kissimmee. 

And coming soon to Meliã Orlando Celebration is The Wilson – a neighborhood bar and restaurant featuring a globally-inspired, seafood-focused menu. It’ll feature vegetarian options with an array of cuisine from around the world. This new spot serves the pool deck, so you won’t even have to lift a finger to feel like you’ve stepped into an international haven. There’s always something new to see! 

Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate

For complete relaxation and serenity, dive into the many pool options at Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate. With an adult-only pool, zero-entry family pool, lazy river, and the only wave pool at a resort in Central Florida, you’ll have plenty of choices depending on who you’re vacationing with. Before hopping into the crystal blue waters, grab a refreshing drink or delicious meal at the pool bars overlooking the lazy river and nearby the family pool. 

Croc’s is the spot for fresh salads, grilled sandwiches, and fruity cocktails to enjoy while watching your little ones float around the lazy river. You can even catch your favorite team on one of the outside televisions while you cheers fellow fans. For an afternoon pick me up, stop by Trevi’s Terrazza for your favorite beverage and snacks. No matter which pool you choose to lounge near, there’s plenty of food and drink options waiting to be served.

Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center

Whether you chill out under a private cabana near the fast-paced river or visit the SandBar frequently for salads, flatbreads, signature burgers, and so much more. Plus, grab a fun drink like the watermelon cucumber cooler, Cadillac margarita, or Mai Tai! 

You and your family can spend an entire day poolside when you have the convenience of the SandBar along with all the different options for enjoying the Florida sunshine. After all, the bar serves the Cypress Springs Water Park and South Beach Pool, Crystal River Rapids, and the multi-level water playground for kids of any age. From zero-entry swimming pools and a 35-foot drop slide to kiddie obstacle courses and a secluded pool away from the kids, Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center has it all.

Margaritaville Resort Orlando

Come and see for yourself what being on island time is truly like at Margaritaville Resort Orlando. While you’re soaking in the sun rays and enjoying the soft breeze, stop by Salty Rim Bar & Grill for frosty margaritas, delicious hamburgers, and more that’ll quench your thirst and satisfy your hunger! 

The poolside bar also serves amazing chicken nachos, Jamaican fries, an array of sandwiches, and even handcrafted popsicles. Everything on the menu is a perfect pairing for your margarita in hand. You can even order your favorite umbrella drink and cheeseburger right from your lounge chair or cabana. So, sit back and relax in this tropical oasis.

Reunion Resort

Rest assured that Reunion Resort has thought of everything during your next Kissimmee vacation. Find your favorite spot at the pool and spend the day splashing around in the heated pool while ordering your favorite mixed drink, draft beer, and a variety of tasty menu items at The Cove Bar & Grille. From Clubhouse Wings and barbecue beef nachos to a Reunion house salad and classic hot god, there’s a snack for everyone on the menu. 

If you visit the water park (and we definitely suggest you do!), stop by the Drifters Grille for light meals, ice cream treats, and a full cocktail menu. Spend the day resting and soaking up the memories you’re making while having a completely relaxing time. The bar is in a great location to watch the little ones play while you enjoy your drinks in peace so soak it up while you can! 

You can also dine in elegant style at Eleven, a rooftop restaurant offering a variety of small plates and craft cocktails that boasts breathtaking panoramic views of Orlando.
