If you plan to spend a good amount of time lounging by the pool during your Orlando, Florida, vacation, stay at a hotel or resort that's famous for its pools and poolside services. Many of the luxury resorts and hotels around Orlando have cabanas available, and some are kid-friendly destinations with plunge pools, water slides, and other pool amenities. You'll even find a rooftop pool in the heart of the city.
Here are five Orlando hotels and resorts with some of the most amazing pools:
Ritz-Carlton Grande Lakes
Cool off on the lazy river or on one of two pools at this luxury resort that's a short drive from the theme parks. One of the pools is reserved for spa guests, but both have poolside food and beverage service. These pools also provide some beautiful views of the property. If you plan on staying poolside for more than a few hours, reserve a poolside cabana so you also have access to the spa facilities.

The Peabody
When I get spa treatments at The Peabody, it's nice to have access to a private pool area called the Serenity Pool. The exotic Grotto Pool is a zero-entry free-form pool with a slide and plunge pool. The Peabody is one of the main attractions at this luxury hotel near the convention center. The Peabody actually has three separate pool areas: the Terrace Pool is an Olympic-sized pool with swimming lanes, the Serenity Pools are reserved for spa guests, and the Grotto Pool.

Waldorf Astoria-Orlando
If you're looking for the VIP experience and truly want to get away from it all, reserve one of the private cabanas at the Waldorf Astoria so you have easy access to the main swimming pool. The chic pool here is perfect for lounging, and you'll find several lounge chaises with umbrellas set up right in front of the cabanas. The two pools overlook the Bonnet Creek golf course.

Marriott World Center
Home to a 106-foot water slide, waterfalls, and six whirlpools surrounded by lush landscaping, the pools at the Marriott World Center resort are an attraction in themselves. The waterfall pool is the perfect place to cool off from the hot Florida sun, and you can head over to the Pavilion pool bar for a bite to eat. This resort is great for families, and you'll find plenty of water activities to enjoy year-round.

This luxury AAA Four-Diamond Award-winning hotel is within walking distance of many local attractions and has its own art gallery right on site.
