I would stay at POR. The quiet pools aren’t too crowded. The main pool has lots of shade, a great slide and a nice pool bar.we are heading to POR 4th of July week. Wondering how packed the pools will be on the 4th. Not planning a Park day. Also what do you think of heading over to POFQ to use that pool. Also are ice machines in each building or only at the quiet pools. TIA

How true is that part about the shade? I’m fat and fair skinned, and I work nights. The sun is my mortal enemy. I know, I know. Florida=sun. But what can I do? I’m drawn to it like a bug to an electrified lamp.
Very true. It's one of the reasons the POR main feature pool is not one of our favorites.

Very sorry to hear it’s not up your alley. It sounds like paradise to me. I went so far as to buy a UV 50+ rated swim shirt this time around, though that might be more to spare everyone else from the unpleasantness of my physique. Thank you!
To me it’s paradise! Por is my fav moderate resort. I’ve never had problems finding sun or shade. It’s a beautiful resort and I enjoy the options of a quiet pool if I don’t feel like listening to afternoon pool party.Very sorry to hear it’s not up your alley. It sounds like paradise to me.

We loved swimming in the quiet pool at around 10:30-11 in the morning. There were only 2 kids in the pool when we showed up. After about an hour there were quite a few people laying out, but still not very many in the pool.Quiet pool it. The ones at the mansions are great and less crowded.
Agree 100%. I like this pool as it doesn't feel like everyone is in one big area. You could find some privacy or quieter areas.We really like POR main pool, not only because of the shade but we like it's winding design (not just a big open area). As for kids going out of site to get to the slide, that pretty much eliminates all Mods except maybe POFQ and a handful of deluxes.
After living in Florida for 30+ years, one thing I have learned is shade = good and sun = bad, especially with pools. People just do not realize that when you are in the pool, you are doubling the sun because it also reflects back on you from the water.
