One of the best in Orlando, and only minutes away from the parks. Thank you Danny and your fabulous staff, see you next year! Read less

Warm welcome at check in. Hallways and elevators quiet and very clean. King bed had a wonderful mattress with nice linens. Room was very large with sofa, 2 matching chairs and coffee table, desk with chair, round wooden table with 2 chairs, large tv on roomy dresser, mini frig, microwave, coffee maker, safe. Bathroom shower was beautifully tiled. Room was immaculate! An incredible value and I highly recommend and would definitely stay there again when in Orlando. We were there for just one night for a friend's wedding at Paradise Cove, so we didn't have time to use the pool. But it was refreshing to see that the pool is open until 11pm. Read less

Positives Friendly staff at reception. Did not experience anything to do with timeshares. Quick check in process. Clean rooms The most comfortable beds we’ve ever stayed on in a hotel room. Choice of firm or soft pillows Shower room decent with hair dryer Clean towels daily Swimming pool decent size and not too cold. Plenty of sun loungers and tables chairs around pool. Jacuzzi’s available x2. Tiki bar great and the bar staff are fabulous 😊. Great tasting cocktails. Applebees attached to hotel, decent food at an affordable price. Some other good restaurants nearby. Free shuttle service. We tended to use it one way then Lyft back. Negatives Room decor outdated but doesn’t put us off returning. Air conditioning very noisy in rooms. Shuttle buses changed pick up times and we hadn’t realised so recommend checking reception daily for any changes. Read less
