Best Offsite Pools

[FLgirl1203]

In your opinion, what offsite resorts/hotels offer the best pools for children? We have always stayed onsite but the prices are getting to the ridiculous. So, I'm counting you, the offsite experts, to fill me in. We've been looking at the Marriott Orlando World Center (anybody know how far from Downtown Disney it is?) or the Wyndham in Downtown Disney area. Welcome to your input and suggestions!

The Caribe is suppose to have a nice pool area and they have a free breakfast and a 75 foot water slide. Pools are a big thing to us and we are staying at the Hard Rock for a couple of days after we check out of our condo. We aren't doing Universal but want to enjoy there great pool / beach area.

Caribe Royale doesn't offer free breakfast anymore but it does have a fabulous pool -- and a separate water play area (sand pit with all kinds of fun "sprinkler" stuff) for kids.

Radisson Resort Parkway has a really great waterfall pool, and it's very reasonably priced.

Sheraton Safari has a fun pool -- the slide is shaped like a snake! (It's a jungle-themed hotel.) I find the rooms only so-so (it's a renovated motel), but if you can get a good price, it might be worth it, because the pool is super.

Swan & Dolphin have some very nice pools, including a waterfall/slide pool (and the two hotels have an amazing location, right on Disney property) but are really pricey unless you can get a deal.

Hope this helps!

MOWC has the best pool area I've stayed at to date, (even surpasses the 'Swolphin' pool area) and with rates as low as
Caribe Royale ($119/day, even less with priceline) I'd opt for this one.

The Hyatt Grand Cypress has the most awesome pool I have ever seen anywhere.
