A break away in the Sunshine State wouldn't be complete without time spent by the pool.

There's a large and welcoming child friendly Beach pool as well as two other smaller pools which make it the perfect place to escape and unwind.

The Beach pool and the quieter Villa pool have luxury sun loungers which make your stay a luxury experience. They are really comfortable, so much so you have to be careful not to fall asleep and get sun burnt.

The Hillside pool makes for the perfect place to get away from everything. Despite almost all the loungers at the Beach pool being taken there was almost the whole pool area to pick from at the Hillside area. This adults only pool is the quietest of all three pools and makes the ideal place to sit and read a book without being disturbed.

If you still like to be in the heart of the action the Beach pool is a great place to spend your time. The Splendido Bar & Grill offers a good selection of drinks and food and you can always join in with the poolside activities. With both alcoholic and soft drinks vouchers up for grabs you might want to get a team together for the 1pm daily Universal Quiz.

If you want to splash out by the pool, why not rent a Cabana? Available at the Beach and Villa pools you can make use of all the private facilities on offer to you whilst still chilling by the pool. Each Cabana is equipped with a ceiling fan, phone, Plasma TV and stocked refrigerator.
