Overall great! Wonderful pool options and things to do around the resort. Nice menus and drink options. Good vibe overall. The things preventing me from giving it 5 stars:
- Bathrooms have curtains, not glass. The rooms are a little dated, but still nice. No bathroom fan switch. Surprised it was built in 2004, it feels older.
- The hotel gets VERY full on the weekends. A million people checked in Friday. I needed to call the front desk for something, no one even answered.
- Generally, the water in the Orlando area has a terrible taste. Always get bottled water. Not the hotel's fault but some resorts are better about filtering the water.
- Some of the waiters are a bit too informal. After tasting the water and telling the waitress I wanted to switch to bottled water, she joked "No more dirt water" when she brought the bottle. Not an appetizing thing to hear at dinner. Was not a joke worth making I'd say. A waiter at the Japanese restaurant was also very new and disappeared for a long while. They also microwave the saki if you order it hot. A secret I wish I didn't learn.
- Youth soccer teams checked in Friday night for a tournament. They should be careful about letting that happen, it turns the place into a rowdy playground. Kids all over the lobby. Some loudmouth kid was yelling off the balcony under me at midnight. Clearly someone else paid for his room with a fundraiser. People who earn their way to an upscale place don't act that way.
So 4 out of 5 stars for me.
