The hotel

This isn’t just a holiday resort, it’s a world in itself. For starters, there’s the 18-hole golf course and 4 seasonally heated outdoor pools. The Spa at Shingle Creek is perfect for a pamper, and there's fun for all the family with tennis, basketball and sand volleyball games galore. When hunger calls, head to one of the many restaurants and choose from a range of cuisines, or head out onto I-Drive for some classic American diners. Just a short drive from Orlando's best theme parks, you're never far from the fun. And once the day is done, head to your relaxing room for some down time before another day of adventure ahead.

Have stayed at this hotel several times now, so I thought I knew what to expect, how wrong I was. Firstly the positives, the hotel and rooms were clean, albeit somewhat dated showing signs of wear. The facilities were fine, with a good selection of dining options if you are lucky enough to find availability at your desired time. All staff encountered were professional and courteous during our stay. The Bar is well stocked and has some very knowledgable, engaging staff. Special mention to Jacob who took care of our every request, even making drinks to our specification, and was a tremendous ambassador for the property. The pool areas were good and well serviced with options for all. However, the perennial problems caused by this property being primarily a conference hotel caused significant problems for us throughout our stay. When a conference is in session parking is nothing short of a nightmare for holidaymakers. Despite taking my disabled parking badge, I was rarely able to get anywhere near the allocated spots in the forward car park. Worse still, people were parking anywhere and everywhere lots without disabled badges and many not even in marked bays. How difficult can it be to properly manage the situation.? On one occasion, I believe it was a three day conference for the Department of Correction, the only parking available during the conference was in the very end of the rear car park, necessitating an almost 600y walk to the hotel lobby, where you were met by a huge queue for the lifts. This had to be repeated back and forward if you were driving to visit a park or attraction. There is a shuttle service to assist getting to the car park, but I can honestly say that not once in our two week stay were we offered a lift either in or out. Overall, I felt a Managerial influence was sorely needed. Read less

My family and I had an wonderful stay at the Rosen Shingle Creek Hotel! We were impressed by the family-friendly atmosphere and the wide variety of dining options from the moment we arrived. The on-site restaurants offered something for everyone, and the little café was perfect for grabbing a quick bite or sundries. Room service was top-notch, with prompt service and delicious meals. Our room was spotless, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and the amenities made our stay luxurious. The hotel’s pool was a highlight for us, providing hours of fun and relaxation. One of the best parts is how close the hotel is to Disney, with easy access to the parks, making it the perfect spot for a family getaway. There's even an ice cream shop on-site for a sweet treat after a fun day. Though it’s not directly on the ocean, the beach is just a short drive away, making it a great central location for everything Orlando offers. Highly recommend Rosen Shingle Creek for anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and family-friendly stay close to all the magic of Disney! Read less

Second year running we have stayed here and we will now not stay anywhere else in Orlando! The location is perfect - set in beautiful grounds in a lovely quiet area of Williamsburg within a security gated entrance. All the staff were super friendly and helpful to us. The rooms are spacious and once again our room overlooked the adult pool on the 11th floor. We choose to eat off property but having looked at the restaurant menus they appear to be reasonably priced. The pool area is fabulous - plenty of towels and the loungers are comfortable along with cold drinking water to hand whenever you need it. The hotel had two very large conferences going on whilst we were visiting, which meant the car park was very full and we ended up right at the very bottom. You can either walk through the nice air conditioning to get to the lobby avoiding the heat or take the little shuttle which is constantly riding around to help you. The room was clean and beds comfy! A must when away on holiday for two weeks! Overall this hotel is perfect and we loved saying 'Good Morning ' to the Finches in the foyer 🙂 each day. Thank you for another enjoyable stay and we look forward to staying with you again next year 🤞 Read less
