Best Hotels with a Pool for Stays in Porto Velho

Golden Plaza Hotel by Easy Class scores an excellent 9 out of 10 from nearly 700 guests in Porto Velho. Its rooftop pool with sun loungers is the highlight for families, a cool break from the city's heat with a view over the rooftops. Rooms are air-conditioned, and some have a balcony and a spa bath, a nice treat for parents once children are asleep. A daily buffet breakfast gets everyone ready for the day, and Wi-Fi is free throughout.

Pousada Nossas Raízes keeps things relaxed and green, which is welcome in a city as hot as Porto Velho.

Rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms, and depending on the room you look out over the lake, the pool or the inner courtyard. Guests score it 8.9 out of 10 from more than 350 reviews.

L'acordes Hotel is the Porto Velho pick I would make for a family that wants a pool after a hot day in the city. The outdoor pool is the main draw for children, rooms are modern and air-conditioned, and a buffet breakfast is served every morning. Parents can use the well-equipped gym, the tour desk helps plan outings, and pets are welcome too, so the family dog does not have to stay at home.

Rede Andrade Aquarius in Porto Velho has an outdoor pool open all year and a leafy garden, which I would mention first to families facing the Amazon heat.

A fitness centre is available, pets are welcome, and WiFi is free in public areas. Guests rate it 8.7 out of 10 across more than 1,900 reviews.

Rooms are air-conditioned with an LCD TV, a minibar and a private bathroom, WiFi is free, and a buffet breakfast is served. It scores 8.7 from 443 reviews.

Hotel Caribe is a practical Porto Velho choice for a family flying in, as Governador Jorge Teixeira de Oliveira Airport is 8 km away and private parking on site is free. Rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms, and WiFi is free. Children have no dedicated facilities, but parents can use the sauna, steam room and fitness centre, and the sun terrace gives everyone a place to sit outside after a hot day.

Oscar Hotel Executive is a modern four-star hotel in central Porto Velho with air-conditioned rooms and a rooftop pool with panoramic views of the Madeira River.

I would recommend it to couples and business travellers who want a central stay with a rooftop pool and a river view.

Samir Hotel Comfort in Porto Velho has an outdoor pool open all year with a sun terrace beside it, and I would mention that first to families in the Amazon heat.

Guests rate it 7.7 out of 10 across more than 300 reviews, a fair rather than high score.
