When summer arrives, an entire world of opportunities pops up. There are festivals and concerts to attend, camping and hiking to do, and vacationing to be had. Not only are summers for exploring and adventuring but also for relaxing, unwinding, and laying poolside. Our friends at Vacasa have some suggestions to make your summer fun, relaxing, and unforgettable. Let’s find out where the best poolside escapes in the U.S. can be found.
1. Marriott Marquis Houston
Marriott Marquis Houston, 1777 Walker St, Houston, TX 77010, USA
Home to the famous Texas-shaped lazy river, the Marriott Marquis Houston provides an exceptional experience. While the rooms here are spacious and comfortable complete with style, the outside amenities is where you'll want to spend most of your time. Sit by the pool or the lazy river in a lounge chair or, better yet, reserve an Altitude Cabana to elevate the experience. You'll have shade, places to lounge, your very own television, and the ability to order food and beverages from the Altitude Cabana Menu.
2. Caribe Royale Orlando

There's a pristine pool complete with a 75-foot waterslide, a kids' splash pool, and a private pool along with two hot tubs. Want to rent a cabana at the beach? Well you can, and you may as well live it up during your stay! Located steps away from water, this is the best way to relax during your stay.

9. Rock House — Turks and Caicos

Have you ever visited Turks and Caicos to revel in its beauty and azure blue waters? Well, if you haven't yet, I suggest you go. In fact, many major cities throughout the U.S. offer direct flights to this island nation in the Atlantic, making it a popular place for American tourists. As far as accommodations go, there are plenty of resorts and hotels to choose from. However, we highly recommend Rock House, a one-of-a-kind resort set on 14 acres with 600 feet of beachfront. This exquisite getaway is a destination all on its own. There are 46 rooms in total that includes poolside studios and two-bedroom Oceanfront Homes, and you can expect one of the most memorable stays of your life.

Botanika Osa Peninsula, Curio Collection by Hilton, Costado Sureste del aeropuerto, Aeropuerto Este, Puntarenas Province, Puerto Jiménez, 60702, Costa Rica
I went to Costa Rica a few years ago and only wished I stayed at a place like this. Set amidst the rainforest in Puerto Jiménez on the Pacific side of this Central American country, Botánika by Hilton is surrounded by the remarkable beauty the country is known for. With the Pacific Ocean and Golfo Dulce right there as well as its location by Corcovado National Park, it's not hard to immerse yourself in nature here. This eco-friendly escape also provides comfortable and luxurious rooms and suites along with seemingly endless amenities ranging from adventure tours, a spa, a fitness center, a lagoon-style pool area with two hot tubs along with cabanas, and so much more! There's a saying in Costa Rica you may be familiar with — "Pura Vida" meaning "pure life," and will certainly find that here at Botánika.
