Absolutely fabulous
Gemma D (Cheshire, United Kingdom) on Sep 11, 2025
What an amazing hotel we have a water view room overlooking Crescent Lake and it was perfect!… two very comfortable beds and the room was super clean and decorated beautifully. The hotel did feel very busy at times in the reception area but I feel this is mainly due to the restaurant and it was used as a waiting area for people attending the Cape May restaurant. Every Disney cast member we talked to was super helpful and friendly. The location of this hotel is perfect boat into Hollywood studios and walk to Epcot in under five minutes, and buses into the other two parks which we never waited long for. We loved the sand bottom pool - Stormalong Bay. I would 1000000% recommend this hotel and we will definitely return! Thank you for making our stay so magical
Busy, Magical, Not Relaxing
Jackie L (New York City, New York) on Sep 02, 2025
We had an overall lovely four-night stay at the Beach Club but there were some things about the resort that were not very “magical.” First, there is construction going on in the front of the resort which can be noisy while you are walking to and from the resort buses. Second, the lobby is EXTREMELY BUSY with the constant influx of people coming and going to dining reservations at the Cape May. Third, we checked in around 9 am to leave our luggage with bell services with no expectation of our room being ready. We headed to the parks and I kept checking the MDE App all day for a notification with a room number. However, our room was NOT READY when. We returned to the resort at 6:00pm to change and get ready for dinner at EPCOT. Although the Cast Member was extremely apologetic, she was on the phone until 6:40pm trying to assess the room situation. Our room was finally ready shortly before 7pm and we waited another half hour for our luggage and Instacart order to be delivered to our room. The pool was lovely and we enjoyed our time there. Watching the fireworks from the pool was magical and there were some lovely people that we met on holiday from the UK. I appreciated the wristband system to prevent pool hopping and make sure that only hotel guests were in the pool areas. We got ice cream from the Beaches & Cream window but it wasn’t the best ice cream that we’ve had. Being able to walk to Epcot and DHS was super convenient especially after long, hot days in the parks. While we enjoyed our stay, I probably would not book Beach or Yacht as I think that you get a better bang for your buck at other Deluxe resorts that are way more relaxing that the busy and sometimes frenetic vibes at Beach Club.
