Smile Cool Deck is the way to go.

The flooring on there lanai/pool area (by the way, even though the pool portion of the area was screened, it is all called a lanai in that area of Florida....the term "bird cage" is not used) was cool deck while our lanai/pool flooring was chattahoochee. Our realtor told us there flooring was "far superior" to ours. After that, we always felt like we got the "cheap-o" stuff!!
When I bought my home in Tampa the screen-enclosed pool deck was river rock. I found that it got very hot in the afternoon sun.

I finally replaced it with Cool Deck, and I find it both cooler and more attractive. It can be re-painted in a different color if you want to change your decor.

I agree with the realtor; Cool Deck is far superior to river rock.
