What a holiday happy treat for Roseville Rotary! Forgot to take photos of the generous buffet with ham, beef bites in what tasted like bourbon sauce, salmon with cream sauce, asparagus, broiled reds, etc. and homemade cookies for dessert! Entertainment by the Swedish Institute Mens' Chorus was so fun, many songs in Swedish. Always love a night at Pool and Yacht!

Visited the P&Y Club for a party thrown by my office (roughly 55 people). The bar service was open the entire time and was not only very helpful, but also made the drinks strong (which is always a plus). The servers would even go around to the tables to refill all drinks and make new cocktails should you require it. I ordered an Old Fashioned (pictured) and it was fabulous. Our meal was pre-plated with pop-over buns as a starter, then a strawberry salad with vinaigrette, followed by the main course of potatoes, asparagus and cheese covered chicken with another, but different from the salad, vinaigrette. A tray of assorted desserts followed the main meal featuring mini cheese cakes; regular cakes such as chocolate, red velvet and carrot cake; along with mini apple pies and some brownies. The meal was amazing. The chicken was cooked well and was not at all dry and the seasoning on the main course was delicious. If you are looking to have a small event, I would definitely look into renting this space. Your dining overlooks the Mississippi and the room reminded me of the inside of a yacht.

Old Fashioned with Maker's Mark

Plated lunch of chicken with cheese and vinaigrette, potatoes, asparagus on a bed of spinach.

The worker were super rude. They did not feel welcoming at all. We came off the river wanting some dinner and did not want us.

A classic supper club crossed with an old timey private club (think dirty dancing) perched on the edge of the Mississippi River in St. Paul. You have to be a member (I think) to dine there and expect to be surrounded by lots of seniors. Their menu is loaded with all the classics - ribeye steak, baked potatoes (loaded), wedge salad with French and Roquefort (aka blue cheese) dressing, and not a bad value.

This is a supper-club in which you must be a member to dine. I was able to attend an event hosted here. The food was underwhelming. I think if you really like popovers, it may be your thing. Popovers don't really wow me in general, though. The baked potato was cooked well?!?! I can't say too much else about the food because it was generally unremarkable. As far as the atmosphere - I was shocked to learn the place had recently been remodeled. I felt like I was in the 90's. Things did seem well taken care of as opposed to warn down, but something about it didn't seem so new. Three stars = A-OK. I wouldn't seek it out on my own volition, and it wasn't horrible.

Love this place! The food is exquisite the staff are so friendly and nice! Kevin the chef greets you at your table making everybody feel so special. The place is usually packed so do call and make a reservation . I have dined in the bar and the restaurant both are delightful! Can't say enough nice things about Moe the general manager she makes you feel at home and welcomed there. Moe's skills at whipping up the table side bananas foster are beyond compare!

We just love this place! I've been coming here with my parents in the '70s and it remains one of our top favorite spots. Our friends always want to come here too. The food is wonderful!!!!! The staff exceptional!!!! The view is great and you can actually have a conversation and hear each other talk, which many places it's just too noisy.

Spent Friday afternoon at the Pool and Yacht Club with some kiddos. The pool is pretty bare bones. Small with a little water slide and a smaller kiddie pool. Still it is almost quaint in its simplicity with traditional green and white umbrellas and staff that wanders around bringing beverages and taking food orders. I liked the lifeguard on duty to keep a closer watch on my charges in the pool, so I could focus guilt free on my book for a few hours. There food menu also had plenty of kid friendly options, traditional fried food fare, and surprisingly some good looking healthy wraps and salads. I opted for the steak fajita with sweet potato chips. I watched a plate of nachos to be reckoned with go by as well. Not sure what a membership costs here, but imagine it is significantly more affordable than any country club. The pool was busy with stay at home moms, nannies, and their kids, but never so crowded that there wasn't enough room to play or swim. The facility is also fairly small compared to some of the larger community pools I've seen, so it isn't overly loud, easy to lose your companions, or impossible to find an empty chair to lounge.

I am just celebrating my 5th year of membership at The Pool and Yacht Club. I could not be happier with my membership. The setting is gorgeous in any season. Nestled riverside the views are always spectacular. My friends and family have enjoyed many celebrations, summer balcony dinners, happy hours and poolside chats. The team at Pool and Yacht are simply THE BEST!! From the minute you drive up the valet greets you, the host team makes you feel like they've been waiting all day to seat you at a special table. The service staff always deliver top notch service. They have tasted the specials and help you make decisions when there are so many awesome menu items to choose from. The Bartenders are friendly and creative with their mixes. Moe (the GM) makes you feel like a guest in her own home. She makes her rounds and visits with everyone. Moe's interactions make me, my friends and family feel special. Kevin, the Executive Chef, LOVES to talk about what he has been working on in the kitchen or the fresh order of seafood he has just received and how he is going to prepare it. He clearly loves his craft! The experience is I receive at P&Y is unmatched.

Great club with excellent management and staff. The food is fabulous and the staff is very professional and caring. They have great weekly specials, fun events and make sure their members have a wonderful experience.

Pool and Yacht Club

Ratings and reviews, location and contact.

While in the St. Paul area recently for my son’s wedding, my wife, daughter and I took a boat ride on the Miss River. On the boat ride I noticed the Pool and Yacht Club on the bank of the river. It looked very inviting... so I called to see if they offered reciprocity to members of the yacht club to which we belong. I was told that they did not have a reciprocity agreement with other yacht clubs, but they did invite us to come as guests, since they are a “members only” club. The experience was delightful. We were eating at an odd hour so the kitchen was not fully “up”, but our server showed us what would be available on the menu. The food we were served was excellent, and the service was superb. We could not have been made to feel more welcome. It was a beautiful afternoon, so we chose to eat on their outside deck and enjoy the view of the Miss River. An afternoon very well spent. If I lived in the St. Paul area I would seriously consider membership in the Pool and Yacht Club. More

View of the river, very serious about their service, good food, nice decor appropriate for a view of the water and a sense of old world. Nice treat--go and enjoy.

You won't get better food nor finer service than at this Twin Cities classic restaurant perched right next to the lovely Mississippi River. Table-side views of the river valley abound through the many glass windows give you a view that looks the same as General... Pike would have seen back in 1804. The hostess is charming and welcoming. The Chef often visits you and his delicious creations right at your table. Service is friendly and the price is right. Check it out. You'll be back! More

We are members here, and consistently find the food to be disappointing. Pool menu is very limited. Mostly fried foods with a few other attempts at healthy fare (e.g., very bland "Asian lettuce wraps"). Food is very basic. Food at the restaurant is OK. Lots... of typical Midwestern, heavy food. Overpriced for the quality. Brunch buffet on the weekend is OK - lots of fresh fruit and made to order omelets. Bottom line - go for the pool (if you can brave the crowds and the less than clean environment) or the events, but not the food. More

Service is second to none. The food is excellent, we've been here several times for dinner and weekend brunch and have been very pleased with both. I would highly recommend. Excellent place to have a large celebration or meeting. The staff will attend to you... as if you are the only ones there. More

This is a private club but you can get a one day pass to evaluate. Poolside has full bar and grill with chair side service. Get there early though on weekends it will fill up. Lifeguards on duty, nice slide for the kids. Across the... street is the Lounge and Dinner Restaurant. There is a dock with room for 3 to 4 boats to tie up. Reservations highly recommended. Most tables have good view of river but towards back not so great. Super wait staff and chefs that do it right. Expect to pay a little more but not bad. Look for a $70 check for two. More

Great food, outstanding steak, I was invited there my some defense industry moguls and it was a great experience. Parking was a bit weird but once you got inside, the experience was wonderful.

Wonderful veranda (reserve early!) several stories above and often literally right over the Mississippi River (especially during high water times!). Bald eagles often seen soaring overhead, houseboats lazily putt putting up and down the river, occasional logs, kayaks and canoes floating by: Mark Twain would... be right at home. Even occasional Mississippi big Paddlewheel riverboats - no gamblers or people of ill repute (this is Minnesota in the 2000's, not the roaring 1800s). Location is unique because club is grandfather-claused to exist right on the river. Department of Natural Resources will absolutely not allow any more buildings this close (and will not allow club to expand). Boo! So this is the place: enjoy it before the bureaucrats find some reason to shut it down - but that's not likely to happen with all the politically connected people you might glimpse there. Food is another story. Sometimes incredible, sometimes so-so. Key here is that the kitchen staff will jump to make you happy. If you have the time, that is. All in all a nice place to eat either in the cool breezes of a summer evening or cozy inside in the middle of a bitter winter, watching the frozen river. Tip: For an extra-ordinary event, ask the club to host a get-together dinner or lunch for your group down on the beach patio. My extended family from East and West Coasts claim the summer afternoon dinner we had on the beach was probably the most magical they can remember. More

The staff treat you like your a guest in their home. The menu is extensive and the food always taste great. Best of all is the beautiful view of the Mississippi river. Its a very lovely spot for any occasion.

I've eaten here many times. The food is always exceptional. The ambience is cozy, perhaps a bit dated, but just they way members like it. This is a members only club, so join, or find someone you know who is a member. My favorite spot... here is on the veranda, overlooking the river on a sunny evening. The steaks snd seafood is great and the service first class. More

Excellent venue for a buffet and have the grandkids meet Santa! Everyone working there was friendly and over the top helpful. Couldn't have been better! Plus, it was the REAL Santa.... instead of an imposter! :-)

I've been a member at Pool & Yacht for over 3 years. I run all my St. Paul business appointments, charity functions and many personal nights out there. The remodel is beautiful!!! Summer on the veranda is the best location in the Cities on a... summer eve. Food and drinks are outstanding & affordable and the service is second to none. Pool side in the summer is also a great experience, especially for the kids. Unlike community pools this one is clean with qualified lifeguards. Order a drink, food and watch your kids play....soooo much fun!!! More

A great spot for our luncheon. This structure has been here for a very long time and they just keep going. Some renovation going on but still a great view, great service and delicious food. A pleasure to be there.

The pool and yacht club has been a fixture in Lilly dale for decades, but never taken the time to inquire about joining. A family member passed away and the luncheon afterwards was here. Very nice interior overlooking the river. We had a Cesar salad... with the pasta bar. Lots of choices plus meatballs,shrimp,chicken and scallops. All prepared while you watch. Very good. More

We met a group of Good Friends here for a festive dinner and was impressed with the food and staff. We would come back here again.

The Four Pools at Disney’s Beach and Yacht Club (Photos, Hours, and Details)

When it comes to the pools at Disney’s Beach and Yacht Club Resorts, you’ve got options. Four pools are available between the resorts. However, most guests will prefer the resort’s feature pool, Stormalong Bay. It’s no secret that we consider it the best hotel pool at Walt Disney World .

However, those wanting to enjoy a peaceful spot at the pool or take a quick swim near their room will want to be aware of the resort’s other options. For instance, you might have a day when you want to enjoy the pool and get laundry done simultaneously. Or you might wake up early one morning and have a few minutes to enjoy the quiet pool before the main pool opens. If so, you’ll have options.

Below, we’ll discuss each of the quiet and feature pools at Disney’s Beach and Yacht Club. We’ll review their location, pool hours, and other amenities you’ll want to know beforehand.

Major Refurbishment Note: From January 2025 through June 2025, Stormalong Bay and Shipwreck Pool at Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts will be closed for routine maintenance. Guests may see or hear construction work during daytime hours. During this time, Guests are welcome to swim at the Tidal, Admiral, and Dunes Cove leisure pools. (This was originally scheduled to end in May of 2025.)

Disney’s Beach and Yacht Club Pools

As mentioned above, Disney’s Beach and Yacht Club has four swimming pools. They are as follows:

Stormalong Bay

Dunes cove pool.

• Admiral’s Pool

We’ll preview each pool further below.

Pool Hours at Disney’s Beach and Yacht Club

During our visit, pool hours at Stormalong Bay were between 10:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. However, hours are subject to change. During the summer months until Labor Day, the hours are usually extended one hour until 11:00 p.m.

Quiet pool hours were posted during our last stay from 7:00 a.m. through 11:00 p.m. These pool hours are pretty consistent throughout the year. However, you’ll want to know that the quiet pools at Beach and Yacht Club do not have lifeguards or other attendants.

Are the Pools Heated?

Disney’s Beach and Yacht Club pools are heated to 82 degrees. So, in the event of cooler weather, they usually remain open. However, if the outside temperature drops to around 50 degrees or lower, the pools will close until warmer temperatures return.

Complimentary Towels and Life Jackets

Complimentary towels are provided at each pool at Disney’s Beach and Yacht Club, so you can use the extra room in your suitcase for something else.

Life jackets are also provided at each resort pool. They come in a wide range of sizes.

Mobility Lifts

Pool lifts are available for guests with disabilities or limited mobility. Here is a photo of the lift at the Beach Club’s Tidal Pool.

Changing Areas

Each of the resort’s pools has a nearby restroom. However, Stormalong Bay has an area with dedicated showers, a room to change, toiletries, and towels. If you find this area busy, you can use the shower inside the resort’s gym. The gym is adjacent to the pool, and I don’t think most people know this extra set of showers exists.

Stormalong Bay is more of a water park than a pool. It’s so large it would be difficult to photograph in its entirety unless you had an aerial view.

Most guests (including my family) stay at Disney’s Beach or Yacht Club because of Stormalong Bay. Most of our days are spent relaxing at the pool. However, we do visit the parks for entertainment in the evenings.

Toward one end, a wading pool features a large sandbar in the center of it. Smaller children can spend hours digging in the sand and enjoying this pool area.

Another kiddie pool is available inside the shipwreck, across the walkway from Stormalong Bay. The ship also serves as the entrance to the pool’s water slide. The photo below shows where the tube slide begins at the top of the ship’s mast.

Stormalong Bay has three hot tubs scattered throughout the pool area.

Guests can take in scenic views of Disney’s Boardwalk across the lake from some places around the pool. Stormalong Bay has plenty of seating. But be warned, the good seats are often taken early. During our stay at the Yacht Club this summer, I waited in line for the pool to open each morning to get a table and chairs in the shade. Places in the shade are pretty limited.

Cabana rentals can be reserved up to 60 days in advance, but they sell out quickly. If you want to learn more, we have a review of renting a cabana at the Beach Club . We also have a complete guide for Stormalong Bay that includes photos and videos of every pool feature. If you plan to spend some time at this pool, it has some tips that will likely be useful.

Tidal Pool at Disney’s Beach Club

Disney’s Beach Club has two additional quiet pools. The Tidal Pool sits on the front side of Disney’s Beach Club. It is the smallest of the three quiet pools between the resorts. While this pool sits near the walkway to Epcot, a laundry room sits on one end, blocking the view. Rooms on the other three sides surround the pool.

To access this pool, take the main hallway off the resort’s lobby. Follow the signs that say pool, and after a few turns, you’ll reach a doorway leading out to the pool. You can’t miss it.

This pool is often the least busiest of the three quiet pools. However, if you’re visiting when the weather is warm, don’t be surprised to find a reasonable number of guests at all the pools.

A hot tub sits adjacent to the pool.

Here is the laundry room by the pool. We have a separate article with the locations for all the laundry rooms at Disney’s Beach Club .

Next, the Dunes Cove Pool is located near the back of the resort. This is the formal pool for the Beach Club Villas. The buildings in this wing are mint green compared to the blue of Disney’s Beach Club.

While the Dunes Cove Pool is exclusive to guests staying in the Beach Club Villas, resort guests can access it. However, this pool area will likely be out of the way and is often busy.

This pool was recently completely resurfaced. We stopped in on a chilly day to check out the updates. Everything looked fresh and new.

A hot tub sits behind the Dunes Cove Pool.

A foosball table and a life-size chess set are available.

Here are a few tables with chairs and loungers around the pool.

Admiral Pool at Disney’s Yacht Club

At Disney’s Yacht Club, guests have access to the Admiral Pool. If you take the hallway off the lobby and pass The Marketplace at Ale and Compass, it will dead end at doors that lead to the Admiral Pool. It’s a peaceful pool area surrounded by trees on one side.

This pool is a little off the beaten path. If your room doesn’t face it, you might not know it was there.

All the quiet pools have a maximum depth of 4’3″. However, Stormalong Bay has some areas that get as deep as 8′.

A hot tub is available on the far end of the pool.

A large laundry room sits at the back of the Yacht Club’s Admiral Pool. We have a post with specifics for laundry at Disney’s Yacht Club if you want to learn more.

Hurricane Hannas Waterside Bar and Grill

You’ll have two options if you want to enjoy a meal or cocktail at the pool. You can order something and take it to the pool of your choice. Or you can visit Stormalong Bay and order from the poolside bar and grill, Hurricane Hannas.

During busier times, servers wait on guests at the pool deck. However, this often takes a while because only a few servers wait on the entire pool area. On my last visit, a server left us a menu. It was over 30 minutes before he returned to our area. While it wasn’t his fault, if you want something quickly, you are probably better off ordering it at the location.

We like placing a mobile order at Ale and Compass and bringing it to the pool. The food is good quality and reasonably priced, and if you want something small, you can order something from the kids’ menu.

If you purchase a Rapid Fill mug during your stay, you’ll want to be aware that Hurricane Hannas has a beverage refill station. You can refill your mug at the pool.

Additionally, Beaches and Cream, an ice cream shop, sits immediately behind the pool area. They do not do mobile orders but have a walk-up window where guests can order various ice cream treats. If you want to dine here, you’ll need to get a reservation or join their walk-up list when available.

In addition to the pools, the Beach and Yacht Club have a variety of other recreational activities. The Beach Club has a sand volleyball court near the lobby entrance.

The Yacht Club has a tennis court next to the Admiral Pool. Both resorts share a fully equipped gym on the walkway behind Stormalong Bay.

Or you might prefer to lounge on the Beach while the children play in the sand.

Final Thoughts

We love all the pools at Disney’s Beach Club and Yacht Club. But it’s hard to deny that Stormalong Bay has a special place in our hearts. It’s going to be tough to beat!

On a side note, I would caution that some guests are overwhelmed by the large pool area. So, if you have children of an age where you’ll need to keep an eye on them at all times, you might not enjoy your pool time. When my niece was younger, we camped out at the sand bar pool. It’s more of a wading pool than anything. She was content to dig in the sand all day. So I never had to worry about her wandering off into other pool areas.

That said, make sure to pack a good book (hopefully), find a spot in the full sun or shade, and relax the day away. Don’t forget the sunscreen!

You might even enjoy a little pool-hopping between the resort’s quiet and feature pools throughout your trip. It’s your vacation, so enjoy what you like the most. These special times don’t come often enough for most of us.
