After doing research on TripAdvisor for the Orlando area, we decided to give this resort a try. I was able to get an excellent rate through AAA, it was the same price as a regular hotel room at Marriott. We arrived early and it was well before their 4:00 check in. They took my cell number and called about 1:30 to say it was ready. We stayed in building C, room 406. The minute we walked through the door, we were impressed with the size and layout of this two bedroom, two bathroom condo. It was very clean, had a full kitchen, a washer and dryer. From our balcony we had pond with fountain, surrounded by lovely landscaping and we could see the pool surrounded by palm trees.
The location was perfect (we rented a car), there was a Publix grocery store right around the corner, since we had a full kitchen with everything you could possibly need, we only ate one meal out the entire time we were in Orlando. SeaWorld and Aquatica was only 10 minutes away, Universal Studios was about 20 minutes. The traffic was never bad which surprised me since there are so many amusement parks in that area.
Housekeeping came around 2:00 every afternoon with fresh towels and toiletries (no need to bring shampoo, conditioner, soap or body wash).
We had already purchased all of our theme park tickets on line, but I did see a desk dedicated to ticket sales / information right across the check in desk at the lobby. I also saw the I-Line bus stop right in front of the resort. They also have a business computer area to the left side of the check in desk. I was also able to mail postcards from the front desk. Everyone was always very polite and friendly.
The night before we checked out, I received a phone call from the front desk thanking us for our visit and they asked if we needed any assistance with our bags, a wake up call or anything else. I was really impressed with that type of customer service follow up.
I could easily picture living full time in one of their condos, we will definitely be back on future trips to Orlando.
