We are a family of 4, 2 boys aged 16 and 11, from the UK. We have just finished our 5 day stint in New York followed by 5 days in Orlando, this is our final stop, just to chill, soak in the sun and enjoy good food. The hotel is fabulous in many ways, but a double room with 2 queen beds is very inadequate. We couldn’t even get in a rollaway bed due to space. We then had to upgrade to a one bed suite paying a lot per night. The suite is fantastic, excellent views with a small kitchenette. The sofa beds or the rollaway beds are not great, including our king size bed. The mattresses need updating. There is a coffee machine but no water in the room. We bought water from Walgreens locally. We are in Tresor tower, on 35th floor. The WiFi is rather poor and is a hit and miss. The restaurants are well known, we plan to try it tonight. Chez Bon Bon is well priced and excellent. The gym is well equipped and busy but in a nice way. They run a circuit every morning for 2 hours which appears well subscribed and popular. The pool is amazing, warm and perhaps the best part of the hotel. The single chairs are hard to find on a weekend even more so if you need an umbrella. We have just resorted to sitting by a cafe in the shade. They do have bicycles that are complementary for 2 hours. We ve just used it but it requires you to download an app and also have a US mobile number. They do have complimentary banana boat rides which we are yet to explore but it appears that they are outsourced and the company try to sell it to you beyond the complimentary hours. There is an adults only section, which seems nice, vibrant and decent music. We ve made some friends mostly Spanish/ Latin speaking, very few families from the UK, or in fact the US. Read less

Jalen Service at the pool was awesome as usual. Fontainebleau never disappoints. Food and drinks were great although a bit pricey I come 6x annually and service is always great. Always with a smile. Pool is always crowded. All types of people. Never a problem.

We had the best time with all of our girls sitting by the pool all day for a bachelorette party. Our server, Joann, was the literal best. Sweetest human, provided the best service ever. She made our day and we will absolutely be coming back!!! THANK YOU!
