Pools at WL, AKL and Poly

[zad's mom]

I'm trying to decide where to stay between these three resorts. Can someone please tell me which resort has the biggest pool, are they heated, and what the differences between the three? Thanks.

I think you should be able to find great pictures at http://www.allearsnet.com/ but from my experience with Poly and AKL I would choose Poly over AKL if you're basing it on the pool. Mainly because their pool has a volcano slide that my 8 year old son loved. You slide through the volcano so it's covered and kind of neat...however if your children would be scared in sliding through a tunnel..maybe you'd be better off at AKL. Both are nicely sized and heated and have zero entry. The pictures might help you out more, though.

Enjoy!

I think AKL's pool is bigger, not positive but it seemed that way. DD loves both AKL and Poly pools, we've not been to WL yet. They're all heated. Ummm, AKL pool resembles an African watering-hole, and you can see some of the animals, has a nice slide and a great play area. Poly pool is near the beach, has the volcano slide already mentioned, really pretty!

AKL has the largest pool of the three you asked about. It has a non-themed slide and is zero entry.

Poly is zero-entry and has a slide that winds through a volcano (part is dark).

WL has a freeform shape with a slide through rocks, isn't zero-entry and has a area that has a "current".

Thank you all for your response. I have three-year old who likes to swim (but might get scared of the dark-part of the volcano slide) and the info. you gave me is quite helpful.
