Some float, laying around in resort (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yalta

'resort' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Ukrainian resort' mean 'yalta' so perhaps 'resort' could also mean 'yalta')

'some float laying around' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some parts of the word are used).
'around' says the letters should be written backwards.
'atlay' is hidden in the letters of 'float laying'.
'atlay' in reverse letter order is 'YALTA'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for yalta that I've seen before include "Ukrainian resort" , "conference centre" , "Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin met here in nineteen forty five" , "Black Sea resort" , "City on the Black Sea, where Roosevelt, Stalin and Churchill met in 1945" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
