Guayaquil Hotels With a Swimming Pool
12 family-friendly hotels with swimming pool in Guayaquil . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Twelve hotels across Guayaquil confirm a swimming pool, from rooftop pools above the airport district to the waterfall-fed outdoor pool at Grand Hotel Guayaquil next to the Metropolitan Cathedral. In a city where afternoon temperatures sit close to 30 degrees for most of the year, a pool is less a resort amenity than a practical way to fill the hottest hours of the day without melting down toddlers or parents. Options range from central hotels a few blocks from the Malecon 2000 to riverside picks near Puerto Santa Ana, so the pool itself is rarely the deciding factor over location.
Guayaquil sits at sea level on the Guayas River in Ecuador's tropical lowlands, distinct from the cooler Andean highlands most first-time Ecuador visitors expect from photos of Quito or Cuenca. Humidity stays high year-round and the rainy season runs roughly December through May, which makes an outdoor pool useful on dry days and a covered or indoor alternative worth checking for wetter months. The city's flat grid means pool hotels near the centre are rarely more than a short taxi from the Malecon 2000 and Parque Seminario's iguanas.

🏊Why Guayaquil is Great for Hotels with Swimming Pool
Rooftop pools solve a real space problem in central Guayaquil, where downtown lots rarely fit a ground-level pool and garden the way suburban hotels can. Fortich Apart Hotel runs its pool on the roof above a sauna and steam room, giving families a full wellness floor without leaving the building, and Hotel Rio Guayas by Art Hotels pairs a rooftop pool with river-view family rooms 1.4 km from the Malecon, so families get the view without paying for a suite that faces it directly at ground level. Both properties also run a fitness centre one floor away from the pool deck, useful for a parent who wants a workout while the rest of the family keeps swimming under a lifeguard's eye or a hovering aunt's.
Five-star properties tend to build pools into a wider wellness offer rather than a single feature bolted on for marketing. Oro Verde Guayaquil's outdoor pool sits alongside a hydromassage spa and four restaurants in the commercial district, and Radisson Hotel Guayaquil pairs its pool with a free airport shuttle, useful for families landing tired and wanting to swim before unpacking properly. Sheraton Guayaquil goes further with a hydromassage tub and sauna next to the pool, opposite Mall del Sol for a rainy-day backup when the pool itself is not an option.
A handful of pools come with extras worth choosing around specifically rather than treating as a generic amenity. Grand Hotel Guayaquil's outdoor pool includes two small waterfalls next to a playground and game room by the Metropolitan Cathedral, a strong pick for families who want the pool and downtown sightseeing in one walkable block without a taxi in between. Wyndham Guayaquil, Puerto Santa Ana adds river views and beach access alongside its pool for families basing themselves in the riverside Puerto Santa Ana development instead of the historic centre proper.
Parent's take
Checking into Grand Hotel Guayaquil after a morning at Parque Seminario watching the iguanas, a family found the pool's small waterfalls loud enough to mask traffic noise from the street outside, and quiet enough by early evening for a last swim before the Metropolitan Cathedral's bells marked six o'clock from across the block, right on cue for dinner.

Hotels in Guayaquil with swimming pool, sorted by guest rating.

Hotel Rio Guayas by Art Hotels
Guayaquil
Wonderful
7 reviews
Hotel Rio Guayas by Art Hotels offers family rooms with private bathrooms, balconies and river views, plus a minibar, TV and soundproofing in every room. A rooftop swimming pool, spa facilities and a family-friendly restaurant with vegetarian and vegan options sit on site, and breakfast runs continental, American and buffet style. The hotel is 1.4 kilometres from the Malecon and five kilometres from the airport.
Why families love Hotel Rio Guayas by Art Hotels
Families staying here get river-view balconies without leaving the family-room category, a combination that usually costs a suite upgrade elsewhere. The rooftop pool and soundproofed rooms cover the two complaints that sink most family stays: nowhere to burn energy, and noise through thin walls. A restaurant built around vegetarian and vegan options serves picky eaters better than most hotel kitchens in the city.

Radisson Hotel Guayaquil
Guayaquil
Wonderful
787 reviews
Radisson Hotel Guayaquil offers air-conditioned family rooms with walk-in showers, flat-screen TVs and work desks, plus an outdoor swimming pool and a fitness centre. A free airport shuttle runs to Jose Joaquin de Olmedo International Airport, three kilometres away, and a buffet breakfast with local specialities is served daily. Saint Francis Church is 3.8 kilometres from the hotel, and the Malecon is 4.4 kilometres away.
Why families love Radisson Hotel Guayaquil
Families staying here get a free airport shuttle that removes one taxi negotiation from an arrival day with jet-lagged kids. The outdoor pool and fitness centre split adult and child downtime across the same afternoon without either group waiting on the other. Distance to the Malecon and Saint Francis Church means this suits families planning to rent a car or use taxis for sightseeing rather than walk everywhere.

Sheraton Guayaquil
Guayaquil
Wonderful
720 reviews
Sheraton Guayaquil sits opposite Mall del Sol, five kilometres from the city centre, with an outdoor swimming pool, hydromassage tub, sauna and a kids club plus bike rental. Rooms are air-conditioned with an LCD TV and work desk, and Restaurant La Fuente serves international cuisine with live evening entertainment in the café bar. The airport is a three-minute drive, and free parking is available by reservation.
Why families love Sheraton Guayaquil
Families staying here get a kids club and bike rental alongside a full spa setup, letting parents book a massage while a supervised activity keeps kids occupied instead of hovering by the pool. Mall del Sol across the street covers a rainy afternoon or a forgotten packing item without a taxi. A three-minute airport transfer makes this a strong pick for a short stopover rather than a riverfront-based week.

Wonderful
1,121 reviews
Grand Hotel Guayaquil, Centro Historico sits next to the Metropolitan Cathedral in the historic downtown, with an outdoor pool built around two small waterfalls, a fitness centre, a playground and a game room. Rooms carry a traditional decor with high-speed WiFi, flat-screen and cable TV, and air-conditioning, and La Pepa de Oro restaurant serves on site.
Why families love Grand Hotel Guayaquil, Centro Histórico
Families staying here get a playground and game room in the same building as the pool, covering three different kinds of kid energy without leaving the property. The cathedral-adjacent location puts Parque Seminario's iguanas and the historic core within walking distance, a rarity among Guayaquil's family hotels which cluster further out. Traditional room decor reads as dated to some travellers rather than a design choice, worth knowing going in.

Wyndham Guayaquil, Puerto Santa Ana
Guayaquil
Wonderful
1,383 reviews
Wyndham Guayaquil, Puerto Santa Ana offers a swimming pool, fitness centre and beach access, with SMART TVs and free WiFi in every room. Rooms are fully carpeted with large windows, heating, air-conditioning and private bathrooms, and some offer panoramic river views. The on-site restaurant serves international dishes, and the Guayaquil Municipal Museum is eight kilometres away, with the airport 4.8 kilometres from the property.
Why families love Wyndham Guayaquil, Puerto Santa Ana
Families staying here get beach access alongside a swimming pool, an unusual pairing this far inland along the Guayas River, worth confirming details on at booking since Puerto Santa Ana is a riverside district rather than an ocean coast. Panoramic river-view rooms cost a premium but suit families who value a window seat over a few extra square metres. Carpeted rooms and heating are genuinely useful on the occasional cool, air-conditioned overnight.

Holiday Inn Guayaquil Airport by IHG
Guayaquil
Wonderful
1,188 reviews
Holiday Inn Guayaquil Airport by IHG is a four-minute walk from Jose Joaquin de Olmedo International Airport, with an outdoor pool, business centre and a fitness centre offering city views. Rooms have free WiFi, coffee machines and HD TVs, with daily housekeeping included. A buffet breakfast is served, and Guayaquil city centre is a fifteen-minute drive.
Why families love Holiday Inn Guayaquil Airport by IHG
Families staying here trade a four-minute airport walk for distance from the Malecon, a fair swap on a red-eye arrival or an early departure with young kids in tow. The outdoor pool and fitness centre with city views cover a stopover day without needing to leave the property, and daily housekeeping resets a room fast after a travel-day mess. Fifteen minutes from downtown means this fits a landing-and-departure stay better than a full family holiday base.

TRYP by Wyndham Guayaquil Airport
Guayaquil
Wonderful
1,517 reviews
TRYP by Wyndham Guayaquil Airport is two kilometres from Jose Joaquin de Olmedo International Airport, with a spa, swimming pool and fitness centre on site. Fully carpeted rooms have wooden work desks and minibars, and some include separate dining areas. A daily buffet breakfast covers eight bread varieties, juices, fruit and waffles, and the Malecon is six kilometres away.
Why families love TRYP by Wyndham Guayaquil Airport
Families staying here get a spa and pool combination two kilometres from the runway, useful for a long layover turned overnight stop or the night before an early flight out. Rooms with a separate dining area let a toddler eat and nap on different schedules than the rest of the family without everyone crowding one table. The eight-bread breakfast spread covers picky eaters better than most airport hotels manage.

Unipark by Oro Verde Hotels
Guayaquil
Wonderful
1,586 reviews
Unipark by Oro Verde Hotels sits beside Parque Seminario, home to the city's free-roaming iguanas, and inside Unicentro Shopping Mall, opposite the Metropolitan Cathedral. Rooms have air-conditioning, a safe, cable TV, a minibar and a hair dryer, and the fitness centre includes a hydromassage pool and sauna. Malecon 2000 is three blocks away, and the airport is a fifteen-minute drive.
Why families love Unipark by Oro Verde Hotels
Families staying here can walk to the iguanas of Parque Seminario before breakfast and to the Malecon after dinner, with a shopping mall attached for a rainy-day fallback. The hydromassage pool and sauna give parents recovery time while older kids window-shop at Unicentro downstairs. Being embedded in the mall means less street-level quiet than a standalone hotel, worth weighing for families with early sleepers.

FORTICH APART HOTEL
Guayaquil
Wonderful
309 reviews
Fortich Apart Hotel puts families in spacious rooms with kitchenettes, so bottle warming and snack storage do not depend on room service. The rooftop swimming pool, sauna and sun terrace sit above a garden level, and a fitness centre and hot tub cover the adults' half of the day. Parking is free on site, and the property is two kilometres from Jose Joaquin de Olmedo International Airport, an easy transfer with young kids and luggage.
Why families love FORTICH APART HOTEL
Families staying here find the kitchenette the real advantage: reheating a bottle at 2 a.m. without calling the front desk changes a trip with an infant. The rooftop pool draws older kids out of the room in the late afternoon while the sauna and hot tub sit one floor below for parents trading off supervision shifts. A 19-minute walk to Saint Francis Church suits a stroller better than a long day of sightseeing.

Oro Verde Guayaquil
Guayaquil
Excellent
707 reviews
Oro Verde Guayaquil is a five-star property in the city's commercial district with an outdoor swimming pool, a spa offering hydromassage, and a gym. Rooms are air-conditioned with marble floors, work desks, a free minibar and cable TV. Four restaurants cover breakfast through late dinner without leaving the property, and the Guayas riverfront is a 1.5-kilometre walk. The airport is a ten-minute drive.
Why families love Oro Verde Guayaquil
Families staying here find enough on-site dining that a fussy eater's dinner does not require a reservation search after a long travel day. The outdoor pool and hydromassage spa give parents a cooling-off option in Guayaquil's humid afternoons, and marble floors keep rooms noticeably cooler than carpeted alternatives nearby. It leans upscale in price for what is, functionally, a solid city-centre base.

Cedros Inn Boutique Hotel
Guayaquil
Excellent
241 reviews
Cedros Inn Boutique Hotel offers an outdoor pool four kilometres from Guayaquil's town centre and cathedral. Rooms have satellite TV, air-conditioning and private bathrooms with free toiletries, and the property runs a 24-hour front desk, garden, terrace and shared lounge. Free parking is available, and the Malecon 2000 is 4.4 kilometres away, with the airport five kilometres from the property.
Why families love Cedros Inn Boutique Hotel
Families staying here get an outdoor pool without the price tag of a downtown five-star, useful for an afternoon cooldown between planned outings. The garden and terrace give young kids room to move that tighter central hotels do not have, and a 24-hour front desk covers late check-ins after a delayed flight. Being several kilometres from the Malecon and cathedral means budgeting taxi time for sightseeing days.

Luxva Hotel Boutique
Guayaquil
Excellent
777 reviews
Luxva Hotel Boutique offers rooms with private balconies overlooking a garden or the year-round outdoor swimming pool, alongside a tennis court, sun terrace and lush garden. A hot tub and coffee shop sit inside, and the property provides private check-in, a 24-hour front desk and concierge service. Free on-site parking is available, and the hotel is four kilometres from Jose Joaquin de Olmedo International Airport.
Why families love Luxva Hotel Boutique
Families staying here get a genuine outdoor pool open all year, a rarity worth checking against Guayaquil's steady heat, plus a tennis court for older kids who need to burn energy before dinner. The garden setting keeps the property quieter than hotels facing a main avenue, useful with a light sleeper. It sits further from the Malecon than central options, so families without a car should budget for taxis to reach the riverfront.
💡Tips for Choosing a Hotel with Swimming Pool in Guayaquil
- 1Check whether the pool is rooftop or ground-level before booking if you have toddlers; rooftop pools like Fortich Apart Hotel's often have less shallow-end space than courtyard pools.
- 2Plan pool time for the 12 to 3 p.m. window specifically; it lines up with Guayaquil's hottest, most uncomfortable hours for walking outside with kids.
- 3Pack reef-safe sunscreen even for a hotel pool; several rooftop pools in the city have limited shade structures around the water.
- 4If travelling in the rainy season, roughly December to May, confirm the pool is uncovered or ask about indoor alternatives before counting on it daily.
- 5Ask about pool hours at check-in; a few properties close the pool by early evening rather than running it until dark, which can surprise families used to later swim times.
