Every stay at Rosen Shingle Creek should include lounging by one of our four sparkling pools with a refreshing drink in hand.

You can tell a lot about a person by the drink they’re sipping poolside on a beautiful Orlando day.

Regardless of what you’re drinking, we’re happy you’re choosing to spend your stay with us at Rosen Shingle Creek.

In case you were wondering, here’s what your cocktail order from Cat-Tails Pool Bar & Grille says about you.

The Poolside Margarita

Casamigos Blanco Tequila, Blue Lagoon Orange Liqueur, Tres Agave organic agave nectar, lime juice, orange juice

If you’re sipping this blue beauty poolside, you probably enjoy turning a few heads from guests strolling past.

Everyone seems to be lowering their sunglasses and wondering what mystery drink you’re sipping.

They’re also probably a little jealous of your prime lounge chair location – and that’s the way you like it.

You’re not one of those pool-goers that doesn’t dare get your bathing suit wet.

Instead, you’re in the water, leaning on the pool deck with your drink in your hand, your face shadowed by the brim of a large straw hat.

You’re on vacation and you want a drink that visually reminds you of your leisurely freedom. Enjoy every moment.

Mango Melon Margarita

Patron Silver Tequila, Mango Purée, Watermelon Purée

If you’re drinking this frozen fruity favorite, you’re a fan of a playful twist on a classic Mexican cocktail.

In fact, you probably have dinner reservations at Mi Casa later.

You like your margs icy and smooth with the perfect balance of tequila, but vacation calls for a tropical take on your usual go-to.

So, you’ve decided to wholeheartedly embrace summer vibes with the addition of two delicious and summery fruits: watermelon and mango.

You can be found with your feet up under an umbrella, maybe flipping through the pages of the summer’s hottest beach read.

Or, if you’re feeling social, perhaps you’ve found a seat at the bar and are making small talk with the friendly bartenders and other resort guests enjoying their time by the pool.

Be sure to save room for another round of hand-crafted margaritas with your Mi Casa dinner reservation!

Aperol Spritz

Prosecco, Aperol, club soda

This sleek and trendy drink is as classy and classic as your sense of style.

If you’re drinking an Aperol Spritz poolside, you’re leaning into the Mediterranean vibes exuding from the architectural influence around you at Rosen Shingle Creek.

This slow sipper is smooth and laid back, just like the person drinking it. Nothing is going to stop you from savoring this citrusy, bittersweet beverage.

You’re probably sporting Italian designer sunglasses and something with bold stripes; a bathing suit maybe, or a tote bag carrying your towel and sunscreen.

Maybe you take a break from lounging poolside and wander to Emma’s Creekside Farm, our onsite garden growing a variety of produce and Italian herbs.

Aperol Spritz fans also appreciate the art of aperitivo and can be found snacking on something delicious from the Cat-Tails food menu.

Lava Flow

Bacardi Superior Rum, Pina Colada, Strawberry Purée, Rum Floater

If you’re laid out poolside with a Lava Flow in hand, you’re on vacation and you don’t care who knows it.  

In fact, your vacay started the second the sparkling blue pool was in sight.  

You’re the life of the party at the pool, the kind of person who brings your own beach ball and makes new friends inviting other people to join a game.  

You like your drinks sweet and strong, just how you like your Southern hospitality.  

The perfect blend of tart fruit and sweet coconut, this frozen cocktail is the go-to drink for playing by the pool and soaking up the Orlando sun (with your sunscreen, of course). 

Blood Orange Mule

Grey Goose vodka, blood orange ginger beer

If you’re sipping a mule by the pool, you’re the kind of person who likes things spicy. 

This no-frills drink is simple and straightforward with a signature gingery bite and a Floridian citrus twist. 

You also like your vodka how you like your resort stay: high end. 

This isn’t your first vacation, or at least not your first day at the resort.  

Maybe you’re in town for a conference, or you’re unwinding after a long day on the golf course.  

A Blood Orange Mule is the perfect drink to have in hand as you network and socialize — or find a secluded spot where you can enjoy your cocktail in peace and quiet. 

Cabana Punch

Grey Goose Le Citron Vodka, Bacardi Pineapple Rum, pineapple juice, cranberry juice

If you’re enjoying a refreshing Cabana Punch, you’re someone who enjoys the finer things in life.  

In fact, lounging poolside just isn’t enough for you. You need to reserve a private cabana.  

That’s why you’ll be enjoying your drink in one of Rosen Shingle Creek’s private cabanas, complete with a comfortable couch, TV, outlets, and privacy curtains.  

Instead of tiring your wrist fanning yourself, you’ve chosen to lie beneath a ceiling fan for a cool breeze.  

Your cabana lifestyle is as close to the beach as you can get while lounging by a pool.  

When it comes to vacation, you take a truly tropical approach to your getaway. 

And, with antioxidant-rich mixers like pineapple and cranberry juice, you’re still mindful of taking a health-conscious approach to your indulgences.  

What Will Your Next Drink at Cat-Tails Be?

You can find each of these signature cocktails at Cat-Tails Pool Bar & Grille at Rosen Shingle Creek, along with a variety of other fun, refreshing drinks and tasty food.

Regardless of what your drink says about you, we hope you find relaxation and bliss in whichever cocktail you’re enjoying.

Not sure what to order? Our talented bartenders will help you find the perfect drink to suit your style.

We’ll see you poolside soon!

Whether you’re in Orlando on vacation or you call Central Florida home, it’s hard to resist the allure of spending a day lounging by the pool or spread out at the beach.

But in the summer, Florida’s sun can be dangerously intense, especially for your skin.

Luckily, there are several ways to keep your skin safe and enjoy your pool day, too.

Are you wondering to yourself, how can I protect my skin in Orlando?

We’re here to help.

Here are five skincare tips for a hot Florida summer.

Key Takeaways

• 1. Always Use Sunscreen
• 2. Wear Protective Clothing and Gear
• 3. Stay Hydrated
• 4. Seek out Shade
• 5. Moisturize, Especially After Sun Exposure
• Care for Yourself beyond Skincare at Rosen Shingle Creek

1. Always Use Sunscreen

Sunscreen is the ultimate skincare defense when protecting your skin from damaging UV rays.

SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. The number you see on a bottle of sunscreen indicates how well it protects your skin.

For example, SPF 30 sunscreen filters over 97% of the sun’s UV rays, shielding your skin and keeping it from burning.

It’s recommended that you wear SPF 30 daily and reapply at least every two hours. However, if you plan on swimming or sweating, choose an SPF 50 sunscreen and apply more frequently.

Water-resistant sunscreen is also important for days by the pool or at the beach.

Sunscreen should even be worn on cloudy days, especially in Florida.

While an overcast sky may seem to offer a sense of security, over 80% of the sun’s harmful UV rays can still penetrate clouds and reach exposed skin.

Both spray and lotion sunscreen are safe and effective for protection. If you use spray sunscreen, be sure to apply it directly to your skin and rub it in for maximum coverage.

2. Wear Protective Clothing and Gear

While some people take a “less is more” approach to swim fashion, keeping your skin covered is another effective way to avoid sunburn.

Wearing long sleeves and bottoms with good coverage can keep your skin hidden from harmful rays.

Higher coverage swimwear is a great option for babies and kids, too, especially those who may fight a full-body sunscreen application.

But not all fabrics are made equal.

UPF clothing is designed to deflect UV rays, perfect for a day at the pool or the beach.

While your arms and legs may be covered by clothing, don’t forget about your head and face!

Hats help protect your scalp from the sun overhead, and sunglasses not only protect your eyes, but also the delicate skin around them.

3. Stay Hydrated

When temperatures rise, staying hydrated is more important than ever.

Drinking plenty of water boasts a variety of health benefits, including keeping your skin healthy.

Well-hydrated skin maintains elasticity and firmness, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

It also supports the skin’s barrier function, making it less susceptible to sensitivity, dryness, and irritation.

Experts recommend drinking a minimum of 8 glasses of water per day, which averages 64 ounces.

A smooth, vibrant complexion starts with proper skincare, including staying well hydrated.

4. Seek out Shade

Whenever possible, spend your time outside in the shade rather than in direct sun.

This may mean staying sheltered under covered outdoor spaces or spending your pool time lounging beneath an umbrella.

Basically, the best way to protect yourself from the sun is to stay out of it!

Looking for the perfect place in Orlando to enjoy a shady pool day?

Try the Rosen Shingle Creek cabana pool, where you can rent a private shaded cabana with plenty of perks.

Our cabanas include a cable TV, mini fridge, fans, security safe, and complimentary bottled water and coconut water to keep you feeling hydrated and refreshed.

Grab a beverage and a bite to eat from Cat-Tails Pool Bar & Grille and kick back to enjoy your day in the shade.

5. Moisturize, Especially after Sun Exposure

Moisturizing is one of the most important ways you can protect your skin and prevent unwanted signs of aging.

Using a lightweight moisturizer soon after cleansing helps replenish protective moisture that helps skin repel viruses and bacteria.

Exposure to UV rays dries skin out, even when you’re wearing sunscreen.

Using a moisturizer following your outdoor activities helps to rehydrate tired skin so it can do its job and effectively protect your body.

A great soothing after-sun lotion is properly designed to soften and rejuvenate skin.

It also helps to alleviate dryness and discomfort that may come from spending the day in the sun.

Looking for a more indulgent way to rehydrate your skin?

The Spa at Rosen Shingle Creek offers luxurious body treatments designed to detoxify, moisturize, exfoliate, and nurture all types of skin.

A day at the spa doesn’t negate the importance of sunscreen, but it can make recovery a true “treat yourself” moment.

Care for Yourself Beyond Skincare at Rosen Shingle Creek

Rosen Shingle Creek is a true playground for guests of all ages.

From our four sparkling seasonally heated pools to our pickleball courts and esteemed golf course, there’s no shortage of outdoor activities onsite.

It’s also why we know better than anyone about the importance of protecting your skin from the Florida sun.

Make sure you follow these tips for a satisfying and safe Florida summer day.

Orlando’s fine arts scene is one of the best in the country.

Every year, our venues host some of the world’s biggest superstar musicians and performers, touring productions of renowned Broadway shows, and epic headliners from around the world.

While it’s always exciting to see your favorite recognizable artists, the heart of Orlando’s art scene is in its local events, like the Orlando Fringe Festival.

This world-renowned celebration of the arts showcases independent artists from all over the globe.

This year’s festival, held May 13 – 26, 2025, is sure to be the biggest and best Orlando Fringe Festival yet.

What is a Fringe Festival?

The term “Fringe Festival” originated in Scotland in 1948.

Several artists, upset at being excluded from the Edinburgh Theatre Festival, decided to perform their shows at inexpensive or free venues around the “fringes” of the city.

These unconventional works soon began to draw attention, and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival became a showcase of independent artists from around the world.

To this date, Edinburgh Fringe is the largest running Fringe Festival in the world, with over 3,800 shows performing in their three-week 2024 season. Over 2 million tickets were sold.

Since 1948, dozens of Fringe shows have popped up around the world.

In the United States, the Orlando Fringe Festival is the largest and longest running.

Every year, Orlando hosts hundreds of artists and hundreds of thousands of audience members for an unjuried, uncensored celebration of artistry.

Shows are selected through a lottery process, meaning you’re just as likely to see a show from a first-time performer as a returning veteran of the stage.

This two-week festival is the perfect opportunity to experience some of the world’s most innovative, imaginative, and sometimes downright bizarre performances.

And there are so many reasons people have been returning to the festival year after year for over 30 years.

Here are our suggestions for 5 can’t miss experiences at the 2025 Orlando Fringe Festival.

See a Show…or Seven

To see a Fringe show, you’ll need to purchase a button for around $10.

This is the only money that returns to the Fringe Festival; 100% of ticket proceeds go directly to the artists themselves.

Your button is a one-time purchase that then grants you access to buy tickets for any performance you choose.

Once you have your button, you can purchase show tickets online or through the Orlando Fringe app.

With the majority of the festival’s shows held in venues at Orlando Shakes, Orlando Family Stage, and Orlando Museum of Art, all of which are in Loch Haven Park, you can hop from one show to another with ease.

Typically, after the festival’s first few days, there will be buzz around the best performances of the year and the festival’s breakout hits.

But once word begins to spread, you’ll want to get your tickets quickly. Many venues are intimate and sell out fast.

Some shows at Orlando Fringe are intended for the entire family to enjoy. Others are for mature audiences only.

In any given season, you can find musicals, one-person shows, puppet performances, parodies, drag shows, avant-garde pieces, stand-up comedy, and more.

Every show is original and can be seen for around $10 per ticket.

Enjoy Dinner and Drinks on The Lawn and Take in a Concert on the Outdoor Stage

There is a large central lawn in Loch Haven Park between Orlando Shakes, The Orlando Science Center, Orlando Museum of Art, and Orlando Family Stage.

For Orlando Fringe every year, the lawn transforms into a gathering place for artists, audience members, and the greater Orlando community.

There are dozens of food trucks (including the recurring favorite peddling Wisconsin cheese curds), an Orlando Fringe bar tent, outdoor art displays, and seating.

There is also a stage set up in a covered tent where you can catch live musicians performing most nights.

It’s the perfect space to grab a bite to eat between shows, order your favorite cocktail, and enjoy some live music as the sun goes down.

Take your Little Ones to Experience Kids Fringe

Held on the weekends during Orlando Fringe, Kids Fringe is a fully family-friendly celebration with art, live performances, storytelling, and play.

It’s the perfect opportunity to let your kids express themselves, use their imaginations, and socialize with other kids in the community.

Head to the Orlando Garden Center in Loch Haven Park from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays of the festival to take advantage of amazing free entertainment everyone will love.

Browse the Art Galleries at Visual Fringe

Visual Fringe is the art portion of festival displaying a variety of artwork from artists around the world.

Similarly to Orlando Fringe’s performance pieces, artwork is selected through a lottery, meaning anyone can participate.

You’ll see paintings, sculptures, jewelry, ceramics, photographs, drawings, and a variety of other mediums on display.

Every piece is for sale, and 100% of the proceeds go directly back to the artist.

Take the time to browse the Orlando Fringe galleries, art markets, and selfie backdrops, or attend an art class or workshop to express your own creative side.

Support Young Artists at Fringers of the Future

Orlando Fringe is also a huge supporter of young artists.

Their Fringers of the Future program is a lottery open to middle school and high school artists and programs who are interested in bringing a performance to the festival.

All application and performance fees are waived, and 100% of ticket proceeds return to the school or program.

Additionally, Orlando Fringe hosts workshops and coordinates mentorships for young participants with industry professionals from around the world.

This incredible opportunity allows young artists to express themselves and share their creativity while also bringing audience members amazing shows from young performers.

Stay at Rosen Shingle Creek for your Orlando Fringe Festivities

Rosen Shingle Creek is the perfect home base for your itinerary of Fringe activities.

When you’re not taking in shows, enjoying a drink and cheese curds on The Lawn, or partaking in some of the world’s best people-watching, you can relax by one of our four pools or treat yourself to a round of golf.

Our elegant, comfortable accommodations are ideal for restful nights so you can refresh your energy for Fringe fun and festivities.
