No. The ground floor has a game room, restaurant, fitness center and the cabana bar thingy. No rooms that I saw anwhere on 1st floor pool side. I dont blame them, it would seem to me, as a 5th floor guest, that I was intruding on people if their rooms opened to the pool. The resaurant has patio seating by the pool. (nice place to eat I felt). On gardenview side, there are some 1st floor rooms, I think. I seem to recall a family room like this. It is very quick from any room to the pool area, and the hotel curves around the pool in a half circle, with multiple entrances. The family room I say on the first floor (assuming that is what it was, was gated. I dont know if you could just walk out, but again, from the inside, its a few seconds to the pool
