Best Pool Hotels in Vero Beach

Taking design inspiration from Miami, this Vero Beach outpost (owned by musician Gloria Estefan and her husband, Emilio) is a favorite for couples and families in need of a quick getaway. With art deco furnishings and portholes looking out over the white-sand shoreline, the Costa d'Este Beach Resort & Spa offers guests a more relaxed resort atmosphere than that found in crowded Miami Beach. Recent guests praise the spacious rooms, superior service and pet-friendly accommodations this resort offers. Rooms are contemporary in design and feature a balcony or patio. When you're not relaxing in your room, lounge by the outdoor infinity-edge pool, take a nighttime stroll along the beach or check out Ocean Drive's shops and restaurants. For an extra dose or relaxation, book a massage at the on-site spa.

This Kimpton property in Vero Beach, Florida, has a lot going for it, from a stretch of cracker-colored sand to its boutique-y attention to detail. Guests laud immaculate conditions of the rooms, which include microwaves, minibars, flat-screen TVs and Atelier Bloem bath products. Many also have balconies. And when you're not lounging in your room or on the beach, recent guests suggest an afternoon by the pool. Cap off another sun-drenched day with the hotel's evening wine hour, then head to one of the two on-site restaurants. Nursing a sunburn? Let the White Orchid Spa detox and hydrate your skin. You'll find the Kimpton Vero Beach Hotel & Spa on Ocean Drive on the city's barrier island. Keep in mind, if you're a member of the Kimpton Karma guest loyalty program, you can redeem or accrue points while staying here.
