Pools & signature amenity: The Cove vs the hotel pool

Sunriver Resort – Pools & signature amenity

Sunriver Resort's standout water amenity is The Cove Aquatic Center — a full family aquatic complex.

  • The Cove includes indoor and outdoor zero-entry pools, hot tubs, a waterslide (Paulina Plunge), private cabanas and a splash area.
  • Resort guests receive complimentary access; recent expansions added a year-round indoor aquatic space.
  • Some vacation-home guests also use a separate Quarry Pool with splash pad and lakeside setting.

If family pool time and variety of water amenities are central to your trip, Sunriver is the clear pick.

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Bend South – Pools & signature amenity

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Bend South lists a single indoor pool as its main water amenity.

  • An indoor pool is available to guests.
  • Pool access is listed among the hotel's amenities and is wheelchair-accessible.
  • Pool is appropriate for a hotel stay but much smaller in scale than Sunriver's aquatic center.

The hotel pool covers basics and is useful for a quick swim, but it’s not a multi-venue aquatic complex.
