Good stay

It was our first trip to Florida together. We really had a good time at this location. Staff was helpful when I was calling to check my reservation and nearby attractions. Loved the Applebee's that was attached to hotel.

Good Family Oriented Place

The facility pays a lot of attention to serving the theme park crowd with kids. The pool is dominated by kids and adults take refuge in the jacuzzi. The rooms are large, comfortable and came with a fridge and micro. The only disappointment was the Applebees located in the lobby. Really mediocre food but then, that's Applebees. For choice in food, you really have to drive, not far but you have to drive.

Disney getaway

Front desk staff was nice and able to check in fast but should have more staff at the front to offer help especially when you just get to the hotel for the first time.

Good to stay

One thing which didn't make our vacation perfect, is the weather, 3 days raining, we expect enjoy the pool in the hotel, because the weather, it closed.

Just got home!!!!

We had a great family vacation!!! It's a beautiful resort, just what you need for children! I have a young family with children ages 7,4,and 1 and they all had a blast. The best things for me as a mom were the local store, I didn't want to spend to much on food so having a super Walgreens across the street was great! There is also a dollar tree (everything's a dollar there) a Wendy's and a chick fila. I didn't use the movie room like I thought I would it's more of a play room for young children. The pool was fabulous and had to large jacuzzis. We had breakfast and dinner at Applebee's which is connected to the resort. Kids eat free there do that was a money saver! The things I liked least were the maids I felt like they only fixed the beds, cleaned yhe bathrooms and could care less about anything else, ( maybe their suppose to) I would just think and empty soda bottle throw it away. Also I called numerous times about a shuttle from the airport and was told they do, only to find out the day before its a company who I have to pay 122.00 round trip. The game room is ok but almost every game needed a dollar. Oh another good this is the store in the lobby it's not cheap but they have a Lil bit of everything!!! They did a great job booking us I Will definitely use them again!!!
