Gets Better With Every Visit!
auggie_tech1 (Palm Harbor, Florida) on Dec 11, 2025
We have stayed at this hotel three times now and have enjoyed it more and more with each visit. Had a 5th sleeper room the the Trinidad section and was our favorite yet. We enjoy all the food and beverages at this place. Joffrey's at the Skyliner is always great. And, walking to the Skyliner is delightful and a great way to either get you pumped for a day at the parks or wind down from a full day there. Definitely recommend and we love staying here. Yes, you pay Disney prices and yes - it's not fancy - but it's fun!
I expected more for the cost

We stayed in in the Jamaica section of the resort. I think the rooms had been updated, (we had a total of 3 rooms next to each other). The rooms had tiled floors in the bathroom area and a laminate in the sleeping area. The curtains had a retro vibe, if you looked closely, the raindrops randomly were mouse ears. A small safe for valuables was available, but it was very small, anything larger than a Kkndle would be a challenge. A dorm size refrigerator was nice as we could take cold drinks and snacks into the park. We usually made sandwiches at the room as a mid afternoon/late night snack. It was a walk to the lobby, so if someone in your group has mobility issues, address when making reservations. We stayed 3 nights, the rooms were serviced every other day, not daily. For the cost, I expect my bed to be made and fresh paper coffee cups delivered daily. Also more than 2 tea bags. My husband said the coffee tasted like wster, even when he used 2 pods. Maybe its a woman thing, but seriously, 1-ply toilet paper? Come on, we are only use twice as much, if not more. In the fast service restaurant I asked the cashiers about a preference on their sandwich selection. She frowned, saying she liked items from the dinner menu instead. I had the pulled pork sandwich with mango sauce. It was good, service was fairly quick. I will say the lifeguards kept a great eye on the grandkids while swimming.
