Can You Swim in Antigua Guatemala? Pool Passes, Hotel Day Passes and Club 14

Yes, you can swim in Antigua, in pools you pay to use: AQUA in the centre sells a Q150 daily pass to a solar-heated pool, Club 14 in Ciudad Vieja sells a Q175 adult day pass, and Hotel Soleil La Antigua sells a day pass to its pools from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (operators’ pages, read 10 November 2026).

In short: For a swim in town, AQUA (4a Avenida Norte #16) is the one venue whose own page prints a pool-only price, among the AQUA, Hotel Soleil and Club 14 pages checked on 10 November 2026: Q150 per person, 11:00 AM to sunset, towel and lounger included, no lifeguard. Hotel Soleil’s day pass covers adult and children’s pools, a towel and parking, but its page prints no price. Club 14 is a sports club with a pool, open 6:00AM to 8:00PM or 9:00PM, with day, weekly and monthly access for non-members.

Pool access you can buy without a room

Prices read on each operator’s own page on 10 November 2026. AQUA says its published rates can change during holidays and special events.

AQUA: pool, jacuzzi and cabanas in the centre

AQUA is a restaurant, rooftop and pool venue at 4a Avenida Norte #16 (phone +502 5164 6530). Its pool page describes a solar-heated pool, a jacuzzi and private cabanas, with food and refreshments available. The pool guidelines it publishes:

• pool access requires an admission fee;
• limited capacity, reservations recommended;
• “No lifeguard on duty. Swim at your own risk.” All children require adult supervision;
• no pets, outside food, drinks or music;
• no glassware in the pool or jacuzzi.

The pool closes at sunset rather than at a fixed time. Guatemala.com, in an article dated 20 March 2025, listed AQUA’s pool pass at Q150.00 per person and Q200.00 in high season; AQUA’s own page today prints only Q150 and a general note that holiday rates can change.

Hotel Soleil La Antigua: a hotel pool day pass

Soleil’s day-pass page (in Spanish) offers the hotel’s amenities for the whole day without staying overnight: the outdoor pools for adults and children, gardens and common areas, a towel per person and free parking, with access to the Las Chimeneas restaurant and the snack bar, where food and drink are paid separately. The spa costs extra; a second Soleil page names it a Thai Spa and mentions jacuzzis. The pass runs every day from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Booking is by contact form, phone (+502 7774-4444) or email (info@soleilantigua.com).

The page prints no price. A secondary figure exists: Guatemala.com’s 20 March 2025 article gave Q200.00 per adult and Q90.00 (it does not say for whom), from 10:00 am to 5:00 p.m., with a churrasco lunch, a drink, a towel, a locker and parking included. Those hours and inclusions differ from Soleil’s own current page, so ask the hotel for today’s price and what it covers.

Other hotel passes listed in March 2025

The same Guatemala.com article, a secondary source dated 20 March 2025, listed two more hotel passes. These are March 2025 listings from that article, not the hotels’ own current prices, so confirm both with the hotel before going:

Club 14: day, weekly and monthly access in Ciudad Vieja

Club 14 describes itself as a sports club for tennis, pickleball, a pool and sports events in Ciudad Vieja, Antigua Guatemala. Beyond the Q175 adult and Q100 under-14 day pass, it publishes short-stay plans with no registration fee:

Family plans include parents and children under 25. Among its benefits the club lists a sauna, a jacuzzi and yoga classes, and it allows pets on a leash. Annual membership requires a registration fee (Q2,500 family or individual/couple, Q1,500 for ages 18 to 35) plus a monthly fee of Q750, Q500 or Q350. Contact: +502 5629-5726. The club publishes club hours, not pool hours, and does not say which areas the day pass covers, so ask about the pool before buying.

Natural water near Antigua

Guatemala.com’s guide to water destinations near Guatemala City, a secondary source published 6 March 2026, lists Finca El Pilar in San Cristóbal El Bajo, Antigua Guatemala, with a natural-water pool, private parking, trails, changing rooms and space for camping and picnics. It gives the hours as Monday to Sunday 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and the pool price from Q25.00 per person. For the finca’s trails, see our Finca El Pilar page.
