Virgin Holidays View
Though we love this hotel, we have to admit that the aquatic creature on the roof doesn't look exactly like a dolphin! Still, it adds a frisson of mystery to your stay. That's on top of all the fun, what with a white sand beach, tennis and paddle-boat rentals. There's a kid's club at this hotel (local charge) and there are dining opportunites with their favourite Disney characters. You can also use the facilities of sister hotel, the Swan. The hotel offers an array of delectable dining opportunities, including the critically acclaimed Shula's Steak House. Disney's BOARDWALK is an easy walk away with its tempting choice of entertainment venues.
