Accommodations Review: |
Very clean and well kept. No phones in units (we liked
this). They have pay phones in the office. Our two bedroom was
perfect for us. One bedroom had a double bed, other one had a
queen. Living room had a sleeper sofa and a large sleeping
loft. Plenty of linens and towels provided, along
w/kitchenware. Microwave, fridge, dishwasher, oven and stove.
You take out your own trash to the dumpsters. Housecleaning
can be done for free -- you just go the office and ask. We
didn't need this, but it's available. Every unit has a private
deck w/picnic table and chairs. We rented a pack-and-play crib
from the office (actually, I don't think they charged us for
this). TV gets basic cable, plus a Disney info channel. No
VCR. Fire extinguisher is there, along w/smoke
detectors. |

Restaurant/Lounge Review: |
They have a pool-side cafe that served breakfast and
lunch. Prices were great and food was good. Upon check-in, you
get a coupon for a free breakfast and a 25% off lunch coupon.

Pool Description/Comments: |
They have 2 pools; a kiddie pool (very clean and nice) and
a larger pool. We used them both every day. The larger heated
pool is open 24 hours, which is nice. You bring towels from
your unit (fluffy white towels) and exchange them at the
office for clean ones whenever you need them. |
Other Comments: |
We will definitely stay here again. Very helpful and
friendly staff. Quiet resort and close to everything. We have
2 small children and I was concerned about noise from the 24
hr. open pool. However, our unit was right beside the pool and
we did not hear a bit of noise. They have a sundries shop in
the office and have everything you need, from stamps to
sunscreen. Very easy walk to Old Town shops and amusements if
you're looking for something to do at night. It's perfect for
families looking for more space than a hotel room provides,
but are on a
budget. |
