Restaurant/Lounge Review:
|
The hotel featured 4 restaurants, but because of the
children we sampled room service. We found the food to be of the
best quality, attractively presented and delivered hot. We tried
everything from hamburgers to steak & lobster. We were never
disappointed. |

Pool Description/Comments:
|
The property was spectacular. The children
enthusiastically enjoyed the large swimming pool and water slide
as well as the kiddie pool. Our daily ritual was to cool down with
an afternoon swim following a full morning at Disney World. I
enjoyed an adult beverage poolside while watching the kids swim.
The kids also enjoyed the playground and my 6 year old had a great
time in the Kids Club (fee required) making crafts. |
Other Comments:

We were a family of six. 3 adults and 3 small kids.
The 2 bedroom villas worked great. It was like home away from
home, only better. The full kitchen allowed us to prepare snacks
and small meals as needed for our 2 year old twins, throughout the
day. The washer and dryer in the villa were very useful because we
packed very light and could recycle our play cloths. My wife loved
the whirlpool tub in the master suite of the villa. We had 3 TVs
going...1 with videos for the kids , 1 with CNN for grandmother
and of course 1 with the world series. We loved the whole
experience and all the creature comforts in the villas...the next
time we're only packing clothes. |
