The hotel

This plush hotel has a wide variety of facilities and activities including the R Aqua Zone, an interactive waterpark with two waterslides as well as two splash and play areas. Golfers can enjoy a round or two on the 18-hole Championship golf course nearby, while those interested in relaxing can lounge by the huge outdoor pool or take a dip in the fizzing Jacuzzi to wind down.

This hotel is very bad, not a 4 stars renaissance at all! We asked for cleaning every day and it's not done. Be careful as they close bar and restaurant day before the writing time when they don't have customers... I was staying on a suite but I will never comeback here! You have way better and cheaper hotel in Orlando! I'm used to Renaissance… Read more

I stayed here for a week for a conference. Check in process was very smooth and quick. This is a very busy hotel with many different clients...the sightseers, business people, amusement park families, etc. It was busy but never felt chaotic.

I stayed here for a week for a conference. Check in process was very smooth and quick. This is a very busy hotel with many different clients...the sightseers, business people, amusement park families, etc. It was busy but never felt chaotic. LOVE the 24 hour store off the main lobby, it seriously has so many options, whatever you are looking for, 24 hours a day. The room was very comfortable, clean, and well appointed. My view was of the conference room roof but it was ok. Helpful staff all around. The conference rooms were well lit and comfortable, bring a jacket or sweater. The pool was delightful. Loved that there was a separate space for the kiddos with slides and splash pad. The center of the hotel is completely open and beautiful. Great gift shop and restaurant also. Starbucks coffee shop too. I would happily stay here anytime! Read less

Renaissance Orlando at SeaWorld hotel has a great location close to Orlando attractions. The property has a nice pool area with a small water park that's great for families. The staff were friendly and check-in was smooth. Our room was clean but on the smaller side but comfortable. We enjoyed breakfast, The lobby bar and on-site restaurants were convenient after a long day. The downside is that it can get busy during peak times, and the pool area fills up quickly. Read less

bookers beware!! , the pictures and reviews you see and read online are the complete opposite of what you actually get. I booked a summer vacation based off the reviews and pics I saw online. we arrived on July 12, 2025 and checked in at 11am and checked out by 1pm. The outside view was great and the center of the hotel was very nice. the nightmare began when we got to our room. Videos and pics to follow in the next day or so. #1 the room smelled like pee #2 the bathroom tub had mold on it #3 the pillows looked like someone vomited on them and house keeping was non excitant! #4The fridge door was broken including the tv stand it sat in. #5When I called the front desk to express my disbelieve of what a family of 5 was dealing with Justin told us to just call my credit card for a refund and didn't even attempt to make it right. #6 I went to the front desk spoke to a manager she checked us out and also didn't even offer to make things right. #7 to make matters worse after we left they charged my credit card another $500.00 when I called and asked they said it will drop off my card in 24 hrs now its a week later and nothing had dropped off and I can't get a call back at all from anyone. Please be very careful I don't wish this experience on my worst enemy, this has been such a nightmare for us. Service side was very uncaring Rooms1.0Service1.0Location2.0 Roomsvery disgusting and nothing like the pictures they show online. it really felt like a bate and switch from what they show you online vs what you actually get! Nearby activitiesnothing but a small pool that we saw Safetymold in the rooms and dirty beds and pillows tells me they don't care about safety Walkabilityparking is horrible Food & drink sthank god we didn't get a chance to try it Read less

We stayed here for 6 nights as part our our family’s Orlando summer trip. The service here in particular at the Tradewind Restaurant was excellent. Tharwat and Stephanie, amongst others, looked after well at the restaurant. The hotel is within walking distance to the Seaworld and about 15 mins by car to Universal Studio etc. It is a huge hotel with coin laundry. The hotel feels very vibrant. We had a room facing Seaworld so we could see their fireworks show at 9pm each night. The rooms, in particular the bathroom would benefit with some repairs / refurbishment though. Read less
