Simply Superb

monkeybot (UK) on Jun 30, 2025

Highly recommended hotel if you want to be close to epcot and hollywood studios at a reasonable cost. Stay was great from beginning to end - had a double resort view room, and we could see the lovely frontage and back of boardwalk, as well as the Tower of Terror. Room was clean and spacious enough for us. Big TV, great pools. The quieter 'normal' pool was lovely and warm and easy to get seats at. Brilliant coffee and snacks from Java in the hotel. Easy to walk to the sister Dolphin hotel if you wanted in a couple of minutes. More amenities there. Easy to walk to Epcot or get the Disney boats. Buses also to Animal Kingdom and Disney Springs. 5 mins walk to the boardwalk and the shops and food there and 10 mins more to Epcot. Super easy. Very quiet and relaxing hotel. Would recommend highly.

Fantastic stay! Noticed and appreciated the recent renovations.

My wife, twelve year old son, and I spent four nights at The Swan in mid-June. Having stayed at the property previously - although before its most recent renovation - we knew we’d love its location within the Epcot Resort Area. Even if you don’t choose to use the complimentary busses or Friendships, the walk ability is amongst the best in all of Walt Disney World. The Swan looks as good as ever - with all of the public spaces honoring Michael Graves’ original design language perfectly alongside more modern touches. The recently redesigned guest rooms are terrific. Our two-Queen room was appointed with the wonderfully-comfortable Westin signature beds along with a brand-new 65” HDTV. WiFi was fast (150mb symmetrical) and (somewhat) “free” as part of the resort fee. The bathroom had a nice divided area with sinks both inside and outside of the toilet shower area. Unfortunately, there’s not much the Swan can do about the original, early-90s layout of the bathrooms themselves - although they certainly tried to maximize efficiency with the recent renovation. The previous complaints about not being able to close the toilet/shower portion door while sitting on the toilet are entirely true. It’s tight in there. But I’d rather have two functional spaces rather than one while staying with others. Our family enjoyed the new Java lobby location each morning. Service was fast (and offered remote ordering!) and the staff was friendly! The menu was diverse enough for even the pickiest eaters in our group. Last, but not least - the Swan/Dolphin’s grotto pool remains one of the best of all the WDW resorts. Such a great way to spend a muggy summer afternoon! We will definitely be back again.
