Orlando resort condo

We are having a family get together in the Orlando area and are looking for a 3 bedroom resort condo with a great swimming pool and nice grounds. Does anyone have a recommendation?

We stayed at the Marriott Grande Vista earlier this year -- I believe they have three-bedroom units. There were several pools around the resort including a main pool with a lot of water fountains and cannons, several whirlpools, and a lagoon with paddleboats.

Last year we had a family reunion of sorts in Orlando (13 of us). We rented a big house in Orlando (Formosa Garden Estates) w/a private pool, hot tub, 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. It was lovely. We went thru prestigiousvillas.com and had very good luck with them. We'd rent thru them again. They have smaller (and larger) rentals that would probably accomodate your group. We were 10 minutes to Disney if you are there for the parks. Have fun!

Thanks the tips while most of us just want to hang out, one of the party has decided to visit Universal so I could check out something near there.

HGVC (Hilton) condos have nice 3 bedroom units. Ours had full kitchen, large dining table for 6, large family room with big screen TV and washer/dryer. Master had king bed, full bath with shower and separate 2 person jacuzzi tub, screen porch, TV. Hall had full bath with tub/shower combo. Second bedroom had 2 double beds. Third bedroom was a separate suite with kitchenette, large bed (queen?), sofa bed, private screened porch.

I really liked all the activities available onsite including the free movie theatre and fantastic pool area. We enjoyed the nightly Seaworld fireworks while in the main pool.
