The property had a very good check in and check out system. The grounds were well maintained. There was LOTS of activities and amenities offered. The location to the Disney property was a great plus for a family looking for the Orlando get away.

I've been coming here for almost 10 years now and always as exciting as my first visit. The staff is very accommodating and there is always something to do on the resort. Honestly you could not go anywhere the whole time you are there and enjoy the resort.

besides the one incident my 9 year old granddaughter had at the resort with one of the workers told her there weren't any more tubes for the Lazy river. When she saw him give another lady one she asked him again and that's when my daughter saw him kick it to her. There were heated words exchanged and the supervisor was called. She explained his attitude and verbal expression that he wasn't worried about anything because he was one of if not their best worker. We really don't know what happened after that because no one said anything else about it and we got on with enjoying our vacation. Everything else including the switch to a lower level unit because of my son who has Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy (who turned 44 yrs old today) that started off a little rocky was handled and everything else was great. Two humans with their issues didn't taint the vacation for us because as people of color in this current climate in this country we have experienced much worst things just going to the neighborhood stores. It is probably impossible to weed all of those type of people out of any company but 99.99% of the other people/workers were very professional and friendly which made our stay there awesome.

Beautiful resort with many activities. The rooms are great and clean. The pools and lazy river are amazing. The are private cabana options that are wonderful. This is a very kid friendly resort with the huge water set up. There is also an option for a private cook if requested. This is a great choice for friends and family.
