The resort is very nice, very well maintained. The check in was required some queue time, the check out was super fast. The unit was very comfortable and well equiped; its design a little old fashioned, mostly the colors. The swimming pool Lazy River was great fun.

The location was very central to a number of theme parks close by. The facilities at the resort were great and we enjoyed the fact that we could walk around the resort to exercise. The pool close to our room and the gym were great.

Our room was not clean when we got there. We were in the East Village where the pool was too cold to swim in. The lazy river was nice but so busy it was hard to find chairs. Not my kind of vacation but would be great for someone with a lot of kids.

Love it love it love it! My kids were in heaven! Lazy river is great. I did not mind paying the $9 for the floaty as it was optional. Awesome property, great accomodations.

Love it love it love it! My kids were in heaven! Lazy river is great. I did not mind paying the $9 for the floaty as it was optional. Awesome property, great accomodations. We enjoyed the shuttle, driver was most pleasant. Regarding the 'Parking Pass' -- I did not even stop to speak to the Sales guys. No parking was charged on my bill, so just ignore them. I saw no one checking the property for any parking passes. This will be our go-to spot for every Orlando vacay, i need to shop around no more! Read less
