This was our second stay at Rosen Plaza hotel and we had a lovely Christmas holiday there. The pool was heated so we could enjoy an early morning Christmas swim. Everywhere was clean and tidy, parking wasn’t a problem, beds were comfortable and we would happily stay here again

Having vacationed and enjoyed the Rosen Plaza previously, we have been so disappointed in this visit, it was only three days (pre cruise) but we have experienced nothing of the previous delightful service. On arrival, with four large suitcases , the porter/bellboy walked straight past us, when asked for assistance he basically looked straight through me and walked away, we struggled with the cases to reception, where a very surly receptionist checked us in, no welcome, no information, just a very rude expierence… Going from there, got to the room, we’re tired having been travelling for 16 hours, Tv is on and won’t switch off… about an hour later, someone arrived to help Next morning.. the safety deposit box won’t lock … another hours wait… now I know these things happen… but when I phoned guest relations… no apology, basically no understanding… disappointing Last moan… the basic internet, it’s pathetic, I don’t jest, I’ve been knock out (disconnected) 100s of times and have to log in again… in fact writing this review.. I’ve been disconnected three times.. Positives… the location is excellent, the rooms are clean and spacious, the facilities at the hotel (shops, bars, restaurants ect) are excellent Will we be back? I doubt it Read less

Our organization, Men of Color in Educational Leadership (MCEL), had the pleasure of hosting our 8th National Convening at the Rosen Plaza Hotel in Orlando this past December, and the experience exceeded all expectations. The exceptional service began with Marissa Lewis, Conference Center Sales Manager, whose professionalism and expertise made the planning process seamless. Monica Pena, Convention Services Manager, ensured every logistical detail was executed perfectly, delivering an event that was both polished and impactful. Lastly, Amir Jazayeri, Banquet Manager, led an outstanding team that provided impeccable service during the convening, ensuring our attendees felt cared for at every turn. Each team member brought professionalism, thoughtfulness, and a willingness to go the extra mile. The event spaces were beautifully maintained, and the catering was both delicious and thoughtfully executed. The attention to detail and genuine care provided by the Rosen Plaza staff allowed us to focus fully on our mission, knowing every aspect of the event was in capable hands. We are incredibly grateful for the Rosen Plaza team’s commitment to excellence and hospitality. This was more than an event—it was an experience, thanks to their hard work and dedication.

I organized a dinner for 30 people at Jack's Place Restaurant in December 2024. The experience was excellent, and the food was delicious. The staff was communicative in the lead-up to the event and very easy to collaborate with. Would definitely recommend Jack's Place for a large group or solo dining if in the area.
