I'm staying at Aventura and am wondering if I pool hop to Sapphire Falls or the quiet pool at Portofino Bay, can I shower/change at the other hotel or do I need to go back to my room at Aventura?
Can't comment on Sapphire Falls, as I just walked back to Aventura to shower/change. The Villa pool at PBR has an outdoor shower by the restrooms, and free lockers inside. I have done a quick shower and change there. That is my favorite pool hop, I order the fruit plate and relax for hours there.I'm staying at Aventura and am wondering if I pool hop to Sapphire Falls or the quiet pool at Portofino Bay, can I shower/change at the other hotel or do I need to go back to my room at Aventura?
Thanks! An afternoon at the villa pool with a snack sounds exactly like what I'm looking forCan't comment on Sapphire Falls, as I just walked back to Aventura to shower/change.

You are supposed to stop at the concierge desk (at the other resorts) to get an access card. Your Aventura card won't open the gate. I did that at SF. When going to the Villa pool I have usually just followed someone in, but if there's no one around you need to get a card there also, which is more of a trek from the pool area.Thanks!

I just need to use my room key for access to the pool, right? I can just show up and don't need to "check-in" with the front desk?

Hot tub! This keeps getting better! We're going next month so if it's too cold, I thought at least it would be nice to relax by the pool and have a snack. But hot tub sounds reallllly nice after a long day at the parks.Like @georgina said, you have to stop by the desk for a "pool key," which they will just hand you straight away so it doesn't take any time. The Villa pool is right past the spa from the main pool, so it's easy enough to use the lockers/shower at the villa pool then wander past that pool to the main pool with the water slide, if you desire. The Villa pool also has a hot tub right next to the showers/lockers.
And just an added note unless it was already mentioned, you’ll need to show your room key at concierge as proof and then they’ll give you their pool access key.Thanks, off to the concierge desk we'll go!
Are you able to access the fitness center as a non-resort guest? I know you can at Cabana Bay, but I don't think the premium resorts allow it? Not sure where SF falls in that range.Sapphire has a shower and changing area in the bathroom inside the fitness center.

The pool key card will give you access, I've used it to get in to the showers/lockers at SF.Are you able to access the fitness center as a non-resort guest?
