Our Top 5 hotels
It's nice to have a bit of space, and this hotel sits in 24 acres of it. The grounds include not only 3 pools and 2 kids' pools, but also an 18-hole mini-golf course. Who can resist having a go at that?
Perhaps you'll enjoy a sundowner in Hurricane Sam's, overlooking the lake. You can eat there too, and there are also plenty of restaurants an easy drive away.
The houses we offer in Orlando are very comfortable, well-designed properties that will be a fantastic base for your adventures. They have
American kitchens with all those great gadgets and there's a garage to keep your car cool. Best of all, you get a screened swimming pool, perfect for cooling off in after a day at the theme parks.
If you’re looking for something really special, our Superior Houses in Orlando really are a cut above the rest. They are all large, beautifully designed houses in some of the area’s most exclusive, prestigious neighbourhoods. They have more expensive furniture and interior decoration.
This modern hotel is surrounded by tropical vegetation, with a lovely swimming pool to relax around, as well as a special wading pool for children. Accommodation is in spacious suites. There's a generous COMPLIMENTARY breakfast every morning to set you up for a fun-filled day at the nearby theme parks.
This Caribbean-style resort is right on the banks of the picturesque Lake Davenport and it's laid out over 70 acres of landscaped gardens, making it a truly beautiful place to stay. It even has its own beach on the banks of the lake!...
