Summer splashin': Kid-friendly hotels with water parks

Summer has arrived, and the heat has come along with it. It's time for kids everywhere to dive into the nearest pool and splash through any sprinkler they can find. And can you blame them? It's only early June but it is hot.

So if you're planning a family getaway this summer and want to officially be thee coolest parent alive, you may want to consider choosing a hotel that has a water park in its backyard. Lazy rivers, colorful slides, grottos, and waterfalls will keep kids busy for hours on end, and will allow them to be the toast of the town when they return home (a few days with a water park equals major bragging rights on the playground).


We've put together a slideshow of Oyster.com's hotels with water parks, so it's easy for you to browse through the kid-friendly hotels in Las Vegas, Hawaii, Orlando, and the Caribbean that can make your kids' dreams come true this summer.
