Perché piace così tanto

8.91514 recensioni
  • No resort fees (a rarity in Orlando)
  • Massive villas with full kitchens and screened balconies
  • The 'Pirate Ship' pool is a legitimate water park alternative for toddlers

In sintesi: A spacious, well-landscaped suburban condo complex that feels like home, provided your home has thin walls and charges you $30 to park.

Recensito da @willianaashley: I found the perfect Disney hack: a gorgeous resort just 15 minutes from the parks without the crazy price tag. My one-bedroom suite was massive with a full kitchen, and the pools are stunning. The staff treated us like royalty. Honestly, it’s a steal.


Cosa hanno detto gli ospiti che hanno soggiornato qui

The hype

Families love the space and pools, but everyone hates the new parking fees and thin walls.

Reality check

You will hear your neighbors. The 'lock-off' doors between units are sound-permeable, so bring white noise machines.

  • You need a separate bedroom from your kids to stay sane
  • You plan to cook meals to save money (Publix is 2 mins away)
  • You want a resort vibe but refuse to pay $50/night in resort fees

Pulizia e manutenzione

8
  • Housekeeping: No daily service. You get a 'tidy' mid-week only if staying 8+ nights. Otherwise, you're on your own.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Generally clean, but grout in older buildings (Bella/St. Augustine) can show age/discoloration.
  • Maintenance: Grounds are immaculate. Rooms are functional but expect minor wear like scuffed baseboards or loose handles in non-renovated units.
  • Linens & towels: Standard Sheraton quality—clean and crisp, but not luxury plush. Pool towels are provided via key card kiosk.
  • Odors & scents: Neutral. No heavy perfumes, but older rooms can have a faint 'humid Florida' smell if AC isn't running hard.

Prima di prenotare

Buono a sapersi

  • This is a Vacation Ownership (timeshare) property; you may be invited to a 'presentation' for gifts. A polite 'no' at check-in suffices.
  • Check-in is at 4:00 PM and Check-out is strictly 10:00 AM (earlier than most hotels).
  • The shuttle to Disney is NOT free—it charges a per-person fee and requires 24-hour advance reservation.

Cosa portare

  • Dish soap and laundry detergent (starter packs provided, but small)
  • White noise machine (essential for thin walls)
  • Salt, pepper, and cooking oil (kitchens are fully equipped with hardware but zero pantry staples)

Genio delle camere

Migliori scelte

  • Amelia Phase (Bldgs 27-30): Renovated ~2021, modern interiors, decent location.
  • Key West Phase (Bldgs 12-17): Quietest area, furthest from the road, recent soft-goods refresh (2023).

Camere da evitare

  • St. Augustine Phase (Bldgs 23-26): Interiors are tired (last full reno ~2015) and facing upcoming construction in late 2026.
  • Bella Phase (Bldgs 1-11): Oldest interiors (2014), currently showing the most wear.

Genio delle richieste camera – copia e incolla

I am requesting a high-floor villa in the Amelia Phase (Buildings 27-30) for the most updated interiors. If unavailable, Key West is my second choice for quiet. Please avoid connecting rooms if possible due to noise sensitivity.

Suggerimenti degli Insider

  • The 'Key West' pool is often empty while the main 'Bella' and 'St. Augustine' pools are packed—go there for a chill afternoon.

  • There is a 'secret' back exit near the Key West phase that cuts travel time to Publix on Vineland Ave.

  • Don't buy coffee at the Marketplace every day; the in-room coffee makers are standard drip, so buy a bag of grounds at Publix.

5 cose da sapere prima di partire

  • 💡The 'lock-off' doors are sound tunnels; you will hear your neighbor's TV.

  • 💡You have to take your own trash out to the dumpster at the end of your stay or risk a fee.

  • 💡The 'Pirate Ship' pool slide has a height limit that strictly excludes older kids/adults.

  • 💡There are no elevators in some older 3-story buildings (though most main buildings have them—request one if mobility is an issue).

  • 💡The WiFi login often resets every 24 hours, requiring you to re-connect devices daily.
