Does Sapphire Falls have a slide?

A 16,000 square-foot pool with two sand beaches and cascading waterfalls spells fun and relaxation, as does the water slide, a children's play area, cabana rentals and more.



Yes, Loews Sapphire Falls Resort at Universal Orlando features a fantastic resort-style pool that includes a water slide. The pool itself is massive—a 16,000-square-foot, zero-entry white sand beach pool—and the slide is a popular highlight for families. It is a traditional twisting slide that drops you into a dedicated splash area of the main pool. In 2026, the resort remains a favorite among Universal guests because it offers a "tropical Caribbean" vibe with premium amenities like the slide, a large hot tub, and poolside games, all at a lower price point than the "Premier" hotels like Portofino Bay or Hard Rock. While the slide at Sapphire Falls is not as high or intense as those found at the nearby Volcano Bay water park, it provides excellent entertainment for children and teenagers during a "resort day." The pool area also features the Drhum Club Kantine, allowing parents to enjoy food and drinks while keeping a close eye on the slide exit.

Winner: Universal Studios Universal Studios wins because there are more characters to meet all around the park. We love the two parks just about the same.
