Insider Tips to Oasis Lagoon Pool at Perfect Day at CocoCay

Everything you need to know before taking a dip in the Caribbean’s largest freshwater pool.

Perfect Day at CocoCay, the newly reimagined destination by Royal Caribbean, has made headlines with its record-breaking attractions.

But one of the coolest features you can look forward to on this exclusive private island in The Bahamas is Oasis Lagoon.

The largest freshwater pool in the Caribbean, it has everything you need to unwind and savor the island vibes, Coco Loco in hand. Here’s what you need to know.

Lounge All Day

Oasis Lagoon at Perfect Day at CocoCay is the ‘largest freshwater pool in the Caribbean’ — and it truly is massive.

This larger-than-life hangout encompasses three swim-up islands that are perfect for kicking back and soaking up the sun, and multiple coves that each offer a different kind of vibe — not to mention plenty of in-water seating and tables.

Partially-submerged loungers also line the entire perimeter of the pool — prime real estate if you want to work on your tan without having to leave the cool comfort of the water. You always have the option to upgrade to total privacy and exclusivity in your own cabana, that come with concierge service.

Visiting Oasis Lagoon with kids?

No problem. Oasis Lagoon is totally family-friendly — there’s a cove with a sloping entry designed just for little swimmers plus lots of space to splash around, and the deepest part of the pool measures just four-and-a-half feet.

Island Vibes All Day

While it definitely offers plenty of secluded areas for those who just want to relax and disconnect, Oasis Lagoon is also the perfect spot if you’re looking for a good party with a DJ keeps the beats coming strong all afternoon.

The swim-up bar is hands-down one of the best things to do at Oasis Lagoon — it’s where you’ll find most of the action, and with 23 in-water seats, you don’t even need to leave the pool to grab an ice-cold beer or your favorite tropical drink.

Cool and Complimentary

Access to Oasis Lagoon is completely free for guests visiting Perfect Day at CocoCay, and all the chairs and umbrellas that surround the area are also free as well.

There’s a complimentary towel station nearby, too, so you don’t have to worry if you forgot to grab a towel on your way off the ship — just make sure you return it before you board again.

The only thing you need to pay for at Oasis Lagoon are the cabanas (should you choose to reserve one) and the alcoholic drinks, but if you’ve already purchased a beverage package for your cruise, you can also use it on the island.

Dig Into Delicious

One of the great things about Oasis Lagoon is that you don’t need to wander far to grab a bite if you start to work up an appetite.

A nearby Snack Shack makes for the perfect pit stop to refuel on beach day favorites before diving back into the Caribbean’s largest freshwater pool.

Open from 11 a.m. until 45 minutes before boarding time, the Snack Shack serves up complimentary hot dogs, crisp salads, fresh fruit and all kinds of other options to suit different tastes and diets.

If you’re a meat lover, don’t miss the signature Shack Burger, made with a special top-secret Shack sauce you won’t find anywhere outside of Perfect Day at CocoCay.

Just make sure you save some room for a sweet treat after your meal — the Snack Shack offers some of the best homemade cookies and brownies on the island.
