The Grove Resort & Water Park Orlando

Kissimmee, Orlando

Star rating

The hotel

With spacious apartments, this resort is perfect for families and groups alike. The Sufari water park is an attraction in it’s own right, complete with water slides and a lazy river, and there's also a huge indoor entertainment centre with arcade games and glow in the dark mini golf - the kids won’t know where to start! The resort feels secluded and self-contained, but you’re just 10 minutes from Walt Disney World, with a complimentary shuttle bus included to take you to the door and back.

Ok so hear me out… Pros: check in was quick and easy. Parking is convenient. Price was reasonable. Cons: rooms are in desperate need of a deep deep deep clean and renovation. The carpet is old and grungy looking. The tile floor needs a good scrub. And the bathrooms…. I tried not to look too close. I couldn’t bare it. We discovered several cob webs all over our room. One night we discovered a huge cob web over the bed, and we witnessed spiders crawling in and out of the artwork above the bed. The furniture was banged up and in desperate need of repair or replacement. The bedroom windows had thick thick layers of dust and lord knows what on them. I was scared to even touch the blinds. Wait staff was hit or miss. Some were friendly, some were not. The water park…ok let’s be real, can we just call it what it is? It’s a larger pool area. It’s also dirty and dingy. The layout of the resort is super confusing. Signs are misleading (in my opinion.) also, the walls are really thin. Pool area was often loud most nights. Over all I can see why this place was so “cheap.” The restaurants are overpriced and I’m not sure why they refer to this property as a resort. Would I stay here again… probably not. Read less

We have been coming here for years and sadly this will probably be the last time. When you pay for a resort experience, you should have pool chairs available. Every day the chairs would be full by 10:30 am and we and other families were forced to leave our belongings on the concrete. I saw a family with a child with a broken leg, searching… Read more
We have been coming here for years and sadly this will probably be the last time. When you pay for a resort experience, you should have pool chairs available. Every day the chairs would be full by 10:30 am and we and other families were forced to leave our belongings on the concrete. I saw a family with a child with a broken leg, searching hopelessly for a chair. They ended up placing their items on the floor next to us:( Every day was the same - families roaming around the pool area looking for chairs to no avail. Bottom line: The resort should not be booking rooms if they do not have enough chairs for their guests. Additionally, the resort used to provide fresh towels daily a few years back, but now guests are provided with paper thin towels that they have to keep for their entire stay. No hand soap in the bathrooms. The Marketplace in the mornings was so busy, there was a 30 min wait for coffee. The pros: rooms are a nice size, lazy river and slides are a hit with the kids and the arcade Flip Flops is entertaining. Despite the pros, we will not be back until improvements are made. Read less
