We enjoyed our stay. The front of the house staff were so welcoming and helpful. Unfortunately , the bar staff was not great. I had to wait almost 40 minutes to pay for some ice cream bars because the person working at the bar was inefficient. Otherwise, everything was great!

I spent a lot of time thinking about this review. Some elements were outside the control of the hotel, and I understand that...but some were. First the good: located very close to Universal Orlando resort. Easy, FREE parking, and the bathroom in the room was very nice (rain shower was a great touch). The uncontrollable: the main road to access the hotel was under massive construction during our stay. This made getting anywhere harder than it needed to be. The bad: ok...so here's the main problem. The room was full of miniature ants. They were in the window by the couch as well as all over the kitchen counter by the coffee machine. I took a video of them. We had a packed schedule and arrived late so I didn't get a chance to bring this up until later in our trip...that part is on me. BUT...the staff seemed totally disinterested in this. They didn't apologize or provide any compensation or anything. Just, "Oh. Ok...we'll have to look into that." Really put us off and we will not be staying there again.

Beautiful resort! The updated hotel room was lovely and spacious for this family of 5. The kitchen/livingroom along with 2 bathrooms and several free amenities on site made it a very easy choice to book here. The outdoor pool and deck area is absolutely relaxing and wonderful. We had a breathtaking view from the 15th floor! My family enjoyed our experience and would absolutely book again.

Overall really liked the hotel. Our only real issues we had was with getting to the hotel because there is so mucb construction. The gos kept sending us to the side that was closed and did not give us an alternate route. Eventually we found a way arpund but not without thr ststem trying to have as do a u turn into a closed off area. I think it woukd be helpful if the staff communicate that to people staying so that they dont have the same trouble we did. The restaurant hours are a bit wonky as well so we never actually got to eat there but the pool was decent and clean, the room doesnt do service daily but anytime we called down, the garbage was picked up and fresh towels were given. There were places we could walk easily for both dining, activities and shopping. Overall we would stay again.
