The lobby is gorgeous, the pool is beautiful, the water slides fun, and some of the food was good. But waiting 15 minutes for hot water that MIGHT come, uncomfortable beds and pillows, housekeeping coming at either 8 am or 6 pm when you’re in the room, the percentage of food that was only passable, AC that blows full speed on you on the bed OR isn’t running and your dying of heat, the pool bar closing at 5pm, the obstacle course politics that ruined it for my kid,… these are why I wouldn’t return. There are other hotels with lazy river pools and pretty lobbies. And that replace your 3 days used towels without shorting you. Hats off to the staff, especially the women running the bodega. They were mostly a good bunch. Read less

FYI, our company has used this resort for many years and after this experience we will never again. Read less

Stayed here for one night with the family while in Orlando for vacation. This hotel is massive and it is modern and very well maintained. The lobby and common areas are really impressive and the large property shares space with the Ritz Carlton. The front desk employee was able to check us in early at around 11am which was great. The room was modern and clean and we had no issues. We were on the 21st floor and had a balcony with a cool view of Orlando. The pool area is massive and has three water slides. Like most large resort hotels, the pool area does get quite crowded in the afternoon but it did not put a damper on the experience. There are two pool bar/restaurants that serve some surprisingly good food and drinks. I had the breakfast buffet in the morning and it was also surprisingly good with made to order waffles and pancakes. The hotel beautiful and we were all very impressed. Read less

Beautiful property with a nice lazy river. No executive lounge. Service and amenities not as extensive as other JW Marriott properties. Multiple restaurants available but pricy. Attached to the Ritz with ability to use their pool/spa amenities.

The hotel is great and very modern and beautiful. Drawbacks were difficulty regulating water temp in shower and ability to get a lounger. No available loungers at 9AM so had to go to Ritz Carlton. Fireworks show better than disney. Tons of kids at this hotel so I recommend going to the Ritz Carlton if you want a quieter experience.
