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.

My FAVORITE resort. The rooms are basically full out condos. Never seen anything like it. So comfortable , beautiful views , extremely clean . The food is amazing, so many pools but since it’s outside you’re battling bugs all day smh. Karaoke on some nights in the lounge, grocery store and spa also on site. I recommend 100%.

The rooms were nice and clean and we had all of the necessities that we needed in our rooms. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only complaint that I have is the check in process is a disaster! And you will definitely get lost trying to navigate around the resort. If they could fix that I would definitely give them 5 stars! Read less

I went my sons 21st birthday however I have sent several emails because I wanted to arrange a cake on arrival did not get one response via social media or email so communication is very key to the guests coming first time however I found out Walmart was close by so I got a cake for my son easily on the day I landed. Spent a week in the resort clean at the terraces couldn’t fault the cleanliness however they charge for house keeping did not know that again every resort in USA is looked after or asked upon arrival as I been a number of times to Florida and house keeping goes without any charge especially toilet rolls etc ……fridges are there however no complimentary water bottles in the fridge so had to go Walmart for another trip or at least put in room for a little note that this is what we charge will be taking out of the resort fees no explanation of anything had to keep asking on reception and then the prices are sky high in the resort !!! It is quite far from epic Disney resort are closer so uber all the way. Shuttle available and have to book mon to Friday 24 hours before for universal and Disney however if your in the park all day how are you meant to book for the following day ?? Had issues there and the reception I spoke to just wanted to go home no one was willing to take ownership to book it for you ??so lack of customer services because no one responds to email or hand written notes I won’t be booking this resort in future sorry was very disappointed I would only like to mention James who was very friendly and helped me a lot at the terraces 😄 he was my sons age and recommended me a few places thank you for that he was the only person who made me feel welcome 👏👏👏 Read less

Family of 5 based ourselves here for 3 weeks in a 3/2 apartment. We used as base rather than a resort location. 20mins from Disney, 40mins from Universal. Good selection of supermarkets and restaurants 10mins away on 192. Accommodation clean and had enough towels, bedding , kitchen supplies, etc. The resort is HUGE, but cleverly designed in that… Read more
Family of 5 based ourselves here for 3 weeks in a 3/2 apartment. We used as base rather than a resort location. 20mins from Disney, 40mins from Universal. Good selection of supermarkets and restaurants 10mins away on 192. Accommodation clean and had enough towels, bedding , kitchen supplies, etc. The resort is HUGE, but cleverly designed in that it never appears busy until you’re in reception or public areas. Staff friendly and welcoming. Restaurant and bar seemed busy, although we didn’t use. Shop pricey but convenient. In store Starbucks was great! Pools clean. Water park is slightly overselling it. 2 flumes, lazy river and child’s play area. My children a bit underwhelmed (or maybe spoilt by hotel water parks in Greece, Turkey, etc). They preferred to be in normal pool area. Would recommend and use again! Read less
