The Grove Resort & Water Park Orlando

Kissimmee, Orlando

Virgin rating

The hotel

When you think of an Orlando holiday you think of Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando and the many other theme parks, water parks and attractions that there are to visit. However, you’ll be hard pushed to want to leave this hotel with the facilities and activities they have on-site for all the family! A huge resort, with spacious suites that are up to 5 times the size of your average Orlando hotel room, this is perfect for families and groups alike. The suites are complete with kitchen and dining area, for those evenings when you want to chill after a busy day exploring. The Sufari water park is an attraction in it’s own right, complete with water slides and a lazy river. There are other swimming pools if you’re looking for a more chilled vibe, and whatever pool you’re at, you’ll never be far away from a bar for refreshments. The activities aren’t all water based, there’s a huge indoor entertainment centre with arcade games and glow in the dark mini golf, the kids won’t know where to start! The resort feels secluded and self-contained, but you’re just a five minute drive to shops, restaurants and attractions on Highway 192, and only 10 minutes from Walt Disney World, with a complimentary shuttle bus included to take you to the door and back.

We're 4 nights in and I wish we could go somewhere else. The pools aren't heated, so no one uses them. The place is huge but empty feeling because of low occupancy and no one using the pools. All I can say is the suites are big. And they respond to requests for room supplies well.

What a nice trip! We especially had a great time using the FlowRider surf simulator in the water park and fishing on the dock there. Steve was super nice in helped the kids fish and sharing a lot of amazing information about the local wildlife. We are definitely going to return to The Grove!

We spent a week at the wonderful Grove resort last week and we loved it. The resort, the waterpark and the room was very clean except the floors of the room when we got there but they were cleaned the next morning when we asked. We arrived early and our room was ready which was fantastic. The kitchen was fully stocked and we were provided with extra dishwasher soap, laundry detergent and coffee when asked. All the staff were wonderful and a special shout out to Eric in the Flowrider who gave my son a last minute session in the pouring rain, my son loved it. My only complaint is how cold the water was in the kids section of the waterpark and the spring pools. I pictured my kids spending so much time in there and they refused to put a toe in because it was too cold. We spent majority of our time in the lazy river which was significantly warmer. We also would have liked to see some recycling bins for resort guests, we had such a crazy amount of garbage that could have been reduced by 90% had we had the option to recycle. Other than that we absolutely loved it. Convenient location not too far from everything and the parking garage on the same floor as your room was amazing. Definitely felt like home away from home, we cannot wait to come back. Read less
