The hotel

This hotel is conveniently located half way between Walt Disney World Resort and Universal Orlando Resort™, it is the perfect contrast of incredibly convenient location and contemporary accommodation. You really are spoilt for choice around the hotel's 28 acres. The kids will love the two large swimming pools, keeping them cool and happy when they're not at the theme parks. Laguna is the main restaurant, with an atmosphere that is enlivened by regular seasonal entertainment (not to mention their tropical cocktails!).

After reading some of the reviews, I was nervous about my stay; however, I was pleasantly surprised. This resort was extremely nice! The food and staff at Laguna were awesome, especially Ingrid, Santiago and Elias. Very pleasant, outstanding service.

No sundry shop, no snack, not even a vending machine for a bag of chips?!!!!!? I'd cancel my room for my last night if I could. Heck the red roof inn had a bag of Doritos in the vending machine! At least Paris Hilton got her money from my stay so she can keep partying. Read less
