What Makes Pilgrim Cove Different from Other Hotel Pools?
Finding a hotel that keeps both kids and parents genuinely happy can be a challenge—especially when New England autumn weather turns rainy or cool. Pilgrim Cove Theme Pool at John Carver Inn & Spa is not your average indoor pool; it is a year-round aquatic attraction designed around Plymouth’s rich maritime history.
At the center of the pool sits a life-size replica of the Mayflower, where kids can climb aboard and steer the ship. For adrenaline seekers, our 80-foot waterslide winds through the pool area before splashing down into the heated water.
What Features Does Pilgrim Cove Offer for Adults?
While the kids ride the waterslide, parents don't have to sit on the sidelines. Pilgrim Cove features a bridge-accessible whirlpool hot tub built inside a replica of Plymouth Rock. With soothing waterfalls and a climate-controlled indoor environment, it serves as a relaxing retreat after a day of travel or downtown sightseeing.
