We spent 17 nights at this resort in Sept. We stayed in a 3bdrm, 2bathroom.
After reading all of the amazing reviews, I think I had my sights set a little high. It is not a sparkly brand-new fantasy-land.
It is, however, a very nice, very functional alternative to overpriced, undersized hotel rooms!
We (a family of 5) enjoyed the space that this resort gave us. The Master bdrm and bathroom were huge. The other two bedrooms (one queen, one with twins) were not large rooms, but they were great for the kids to either play some toys or watch cartoons. The king Bed in the Master was very comfortable and the room was huge! The Jacuzzi tub was enjoyed by all (plenty of hot water!) and the walk-in shower had alot of space and pressure.
The kitchen was well equipped, right down to the corkscrew, cutting, board and bottle opener. Coffee packets, both decaf and regular, were supplied daily. Kitchen sponges. dish cloths, dish soap, and dishwasher soap was also supplied. The only downside to the kitchen was the colony of ants that resided on our counter, which was taken care of after a phone call to the front desk. (We were offered another room, but didn't see the need to move.)
The Dining area was very tastefully decorated and served the 5 of us nicely.
The Living Room was comfortable. However, another easy chair would have been nice. It was a tight fit for five on one couch and one easy chair.
Overall, the resort was quiet (no construction noise) and well run.
The pool area was huge, clean and nearly deserted. We sometimes had the whole area all to ourselves.
The supplied breakfast was adequate. Muffins, Cereals, Danishes, Cinnamon Knots along with free juice, milk and pop.
Chips and Salsa in the afternoon, and Brownies, cookies, or cupcakes in the evening.
We were incredibly close to DisneyWorld, as well as many restaurants and shopping.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The common areas were always kept very clean, as were the grounds.
The downsides were outrageous long distance charges, internet access the wasn't accessible, and a tv remote that had a mind of it's own. None of these were unbearable.
We would definitely stay here again. It is a very tasteful, quiet alternative to some resorts or hotels that have neither the abundance of room or the comparative value.
