Virgin Holidays View
This AAA 3-diamond, family-friendly hotel, previously the Clarion Hotel Universal, enjoys a prime Orlando location, just across the road from Wet 'n Wild and less than a mile from Universal Studios Florida. What's more, you don't have to take the car everywhere you go, as there's a COMPLIMENTARY shuttle service to Universal Studios Florida, SeaWorld and Discovery Cove, so let someone else take the strain for a change! After a busy day at the theme parks, you can enjoy the benefits of recently refurbished rooms and a brand new fitness centre and the kids can cool off in the sparkling pool whilst you enjoy a soak in the hot tub. There's also an electronic games room, Nintendo games in all guest rooms and a floodlit basketball and tennis court should you fancy a run around. The hotel is home to the very popular Sharky & Jack's Bar & Grill, a fun casual diner serving Caribbean-inspired food the whole family will love. If you're here during high season, there's also a poolside cabana bar, so grab a cocktail and a lounger and soak up that sun! Not only have the rooms at the Best Western Orlando recently been upgraded to include 37" flat screen TV's and brand new bathrooms, they are well-equipped and spacious with deluxe guest rooms on offer, leisure guest rooms and mini-suites. Ideal for families, they offer everything you need plus a little bit more to feel at home straightaway.
