Great location

HARRIET432 (Nottingham, United Kingdom) on Jan 31, 2025

A beautiful hotel in a great lactation being round the back of both Epcot and Hollywood Studios. It is also very close to the boardwalk which is a really nice place to visit and it’s in walking distance to the mini golf too which I think is so fun. The transport from the hotel is especially excellent with boats, buses, Ubers easily ordered to the door, and walking distance to 2 parks and the skyliner! The decor in the lobby of the hotel is great and the shopping and food facilities are amazing! I like the fact that there are multiple pools - I got up early at 7am/8am most days and enjoyed the pools to myself! I think the rooms are a little dated and we had to move rooms on the first night due to the air con not working! When checking out, you pay the resort fee which really does add up over your stay so that put a bit of a damper view on the hotel but for the proximity to the parks and the ease of travelling around, I would recommend.

Engaging....

RICART75 (Peru, Indiana) on Jan 20, 2025

This review is for a visit, rather than a stay. While experiencing the water transport from Epcot to Hollywood Studios; we stopped here to explore the facility's interesting architecture, well-kept grounds, themed landscaping and seasonal decorations. The complex is well-maintained and nicely conceived. The resort's location, convenient to the Boardwalk and two Parks; makes for an engaging interlude, in one's traversing this section of the Disney bubble.
