What are the Pools like at OKW

[fairytale]

Hiya All

We've decided to have a change this year and stay at OKW rather than SSR.

However, now looking at the swimming pools @ OKW I'm thinking the choice is fairly limited in comparision to SSR.

Can anyone shed any light on what the pools are like please?

We have 2 older sons whom live for the pool when we go away.

Pools are nice - there are 3 in total (I think). The main pool is good but I would say that its probably better for younger kids (nice slide, pool games etc). The other pools tend to be a little quieter though.
OKW as a whole is lovely - a little quieter than other hotels but we wouldnt stay anywhere else.

1 main pool, 3 smaller ones.
We used the main pool once in 4 trips, too busy for us, much prefer the smaller pools.
Pics here of 3 of them (Main pool, Turtle pond & South Point) http://www.mouseplanet.com/6800/Old_Key_West_Photo_Tour
And one we have spent most time at Millers Rd. http://millerroad.com/2011_(Fall_Photos).html#14

we prefer the quite pools at both SSR and OKW, but find the main pools at SSR will have more than OKW, as you have 2 with water slides and the wtaer features at the grandstand at SSR. whereas OKW has the slide only at the main pool

I'm sitting by the main pool right now! Smallish slide, although it's quite fast. Not been too busy this week, we've found loungers easily around 3pm each day. We prefer shade but sunny ones around too.
Our kids love pools and seem to be enjoying it. There's a very hot, large bubble pool as well that the wife has already spent a lot of time in.
We've not tried or even seen any of the quiet pools yet.
