We stayed at this resort for Spring Break. We had 2 separate rooms - a guest room for 2 adults, and a 2 bedroom/2 bathrooms 'Villa' with kitchen, washer/dryer, living room, balcony for 2 adults and 2 children. Positives: The location of this resort is excellent, near to Disney attractions, and 5 mins from Sea World. There are also lots of restaurants and stores nearby. The rooms are large and very 'family friendly'. We did 'take-out' and ate on the screened balcony. The facility and grounds appear to be well-maintained. There were plenty of towels at the pool. There are also pools for just adults. There were planned activities for the children. The entire staff was friendly and courteous. Negatives: The restaurant service was incredibly slow, up to 40 min wait standing in line just to purchase a drink; meals were even worse. The pool game leaders were untrained in how to manage kid activities; it was Spring Break and there were a lot of kids, but the staff was clearly inexperienced and frustrating for the kids. Read less

This was a family vacation and the resort was extremely accommodating. Anything we needed arrived at our unit in less than one hour. The weather was great which helped lend to an excellent stay. We definitely would come back here.

Beautiful! Modern decor, new appliances. Very spacious. Very clean! Extremely good location. Minutes from Disney springs. Very accommodating and helpful staff. They have a text for assistance option. So you don't always have to call the front desk Will be back.

We had a fantastic two week stay as guests of a family member. We stayed in a two bedroom villa in the Fountains section. The location was great for all the places we wanted to visit with lots of amenities nearby. Everything was clean and well maintained. Staff were very helpful. The villa was really good for us as a family and very spacious with everything we needed except a kettle so we just bought one for the holiday! Brits eh? We do like our tea! Lovely pools with free towels to use and a short distance to walk. I’d be delighted to visit again! Read less

My wife and I spent the last week here. There was a number of things I felt needed to show some improvement most notably the Roach I found in our living room in unit #36 Fountains.We called and they did send an exterminator the next day. But the damage was done we no longer felt comfortable in the room. Sleeping now was itchy and concerning. Bags were immediately closed after we got what we wanted out of them and no more eating in the room. My wife called after we found it and there did not seem to be any real urgency or apology from the front desk staff. The Garbage can outside our unit was constantly over flowing with garbage on the ground next to it. As well as a Pepsi cup that was on the ground for the entire 6 day stay. Obviously ZERO care and concern by the staff. It was also upsetting by the lack of chairs by the pool. I had to get up at 8 am as they opened the pool to grab towels to "reserve" a chair. If you got out any later than 9. Good luck finding a chair to sit or lay by the pool. The Roach killed this vacation spot for us. I can't see us coming back. Not worth the risk of taking one of them home. No Good Fgraupe@gmail.com Read less
