Best resort with great Pool for 1 night

[vinotinto]

Hi, we need a place to stay 1 night pre-cruise (we'll have our own car) with a 7 and 10 year olds in April. We won't be going to any parks, just hanging out 3 pm - 8 pm the night before our cruise and then the morning of our cruise until 11:00 am or so. So far, I have found the following, but I can't tell which in the best one?

JW Marriott
Cabana Bay Beach
Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress
Wyndham Grand Bonnet Creek
Hilton Bonnet Creek
Any others?

Looking for slides, lazy river, beach area, nice loungers, etc.
TIA!

High props to Hilton Orlando over by the convention center. It was built about same time as Hilton Bonnet Creek but I think it's much nicer decor etc. Stayed there in December. Staff was amazing, pool area is great, lazy river great ..... I absolutely will be heading back to this one. And it's right on the highway heading to the port.

Nice! Hilton Orlando seems like a good choice too.

Booked it. Good deal with points and cash for one night. Thanks for recommending it!

JW Marriott, hands down best pool in Orlando. It's where the locals go for their "staycations." You've got everything you need right on property, too. There are a couple of nicer restaurants indoors, but they also have a great little poolside restaurant (and the one over at the Ritz is even a little better. You have access to both amenities at the JW and Ritz). It's also right off the 528 (Beachline) which allows for a straight shot to Port Canaveral.

Shoot me a PM if you have any other questions. I'm happy to help!

We love Hilton Bonnet Creek and so does our 11 year old, great huge pool with slide and lazy river and zero entry area. They also do movies at the pool on Friday & Saturday nights. Our son loves being in the pool watching the movie while we can watch from deck chairs. It is on Disney property so you can hit traffic but it is right off I-4.

We have enjoyed the Wyndham Bonnet Creek and Caribe Royale. Both had fun pools for kids. We also like the Embassy Suites on Kings Heath Road. However, the Embassy Suites pool stinks.

We too love the in pool movie watching at HBC--hoping that the Hilton near the convention center has them when we visit next month. HopperFan, do you happen to know?

We loved the Caribe Royale but the Marriott and Hyatt are on our short list. I'm glad to see them recommended.
