The hotel

With spacious apartments, this resort is perfect for families and groups alike. The Sufari water park is an attraction in it’s own right, complete with water slides and a lazy river, and there's also a huge indoor entertainment centre with arcade games and glow in the dark mini golf - the kids won’t know where to start! The resort feels secluded and self-contained, but you’re just 10 minutes from Walt Disney World, with a complimentary shuttle bus included to take you to the door and back.

Surf instructor Eric was great. Friendly, funny and knowledgeable. Great experience! Overall chill and fun place. Food was good for me but other colleagues were not of the same opinion. Rooms were very large and accommodating. Not over crowded.

My mother and I enjoyed our stay at the resort. Customer service was great whether at the front desk, especially restaurant. Staffs were friendly and sincere. Very clean surroundings. We had a 2 bedroom, they were ok with exception that my bath head wasn't working in the bath tube and had to use the other room. Also there was no hand soap in the bathroom and to call room service for request one. Beds were very comfortable. The valencia restaurant was ok and foods good, but there is limited options for lunch and dinner and of course no dessert. I wanted to try the flowrider, but it was down the entire of my stay. Pools and waterpark were good but can be dirty at times and recommend to be cleaned on a regular basis. I loved the lazy river and the waterslides. But overall it is a great resort and would definitely come back. Read less

Shaunte provided amazing service. She learned that it was my niece’s birthday and the last minute and surprised her with ice cream. She really assisted us in having a great time in our cabana. We will definitely be back. The resort is action-packed!
Image of the Tripadvisor rating Eh it’s so so. The pools and grounds are nice. The rooms needs some more work.

Based off of the reviews the resort itself is not bad, but I feel like the room that we received was a little runned down. It needed some TLC. The stove is like broken, you can tell it’s not cleaned properly cause the floors had like dirt on it still, dirty dishes put away, the bathroom didn’t feel that clean either. I’m honestly just bummed, but… Read more
Based off of the reviews the resort itself is not bad, but I feel like the room that we received was a little runned down. It needed some TLC. The stove is like broken, you can tell it’s not cleaned properly cause the floors had like dirt on it still, dirty dishes put away, the bathroom didn’t feel that clean either. I’m honestly just bummed, but it’s such a pain to pack everything up and move rooms. The towels are like really low quality, very paper thin. The room we received was an ADA which is not what we requested so it feels like we are using a gym shower which really blew me. Did not have anything to sweep the floors with, no extra toilet paper, etc. we kept having to call housekeeping which is something that should have been provided if the room was cleaned properly from the beginning. Overall I’m not sure if I will come back again. Read less

The wave rider experience was totally worth the money. Jax was awesome with the kids and helped them learn to surf!! The service by pool for food and drink is also awesome! During the week is less busy so I would suggest that! Overall great experience, can’t complain. Thanks Jax!!!
