I'm trying to compile a list of FL resorts with zero entry pools.
My Mom can't get into the regular pools anymore so want to find some summer options with walk in pools.

So far the ones I know about are:

Ocean Pointe Marriott.
Disney kidani
Wyndham Bonnet Creek
Hyatt Beach House

Any help appreciated.
Thanks. :)

- The main pool at HGVC Parc Soleil is huge and has a very large zero-entry section.
- The secondary pool at HGVC at Tuscany Village (aka I-Drive) is a smaller pool, but is zero-entry.

SSR must be after the remodel then cause this is my DVC home resort and I don't remember it. Thanks.

And Grande Vista is one of my favorites too. :doh:

Thanks for the Vistana.
I've stayed many times but it's always been too cold so haven't checked out the pools but I love this resort too.

It would be nice to know the year of construction where these zero entry pools are located. I think it's safe to assume that zero entry pools started to show up around 2000 or so in an effort to satisfy the Disability Act. Zero entry pools allow resorts to operate without having those mechanical lifts (which may or may not be dependable).

I know the zero entry pool at Ocean Pointe was constructed in 2005.

That makes sense and is probably why it's mostly in Orlando and very few on the beach.

One of the many pools at Vacation Village at Parkway in Kissimmee has a zero entry. I believe its the pool between bldgs. 16 & 17.

South Seas Club/South Seas Resort on Captiva Island has a zero entry pool among other pools on the property. Some units are beachfront and others are a short walk to the beach. There is also a free Trolley system that will transport one to different locations on the resort property.

The pool closest to the Bella building at the Sheraton Vistana Villages has a zero entry pool. This may be a repeat of an earlier post, but it's Villages, not Vistana Resort that I'm referencing
