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.

I was anxious ahead of our stay due to the amount of bad reviews I had read on booking.com and TripAdvisor.... But thankfully we had a wonderful stay from June 9th - 20th. Stayed on the ground floor in building 3 and it was ideally situated, close to the arcade and waterpark, and a short walk to the Springs pool. The apartment was amazing, no complaints about it. We spent four days at the resort during our stay, and pools and waterpark were busier at the weekends definitely. We spent most of the time in the water so weren't too bothered by pool chair situation. Fun atmosphere at the Springs pools at nighttime! We got an uber to Publix on our second day to do a grocery shop for apartment, mainly for breakfast essentials and alcohol as the market on site is very expensive! Food at the waterpark is ideal for lunchtime, salads, wraps, chicken tenders etc. Takeaway pizza from market on site is nice, large pizza is $20, or $5 per slice. I wouldn't really rate the valencia restaurant, especially for inside dining. Sitting outside on the terrace, or getting takeout from Springs bar and dining there suited us better. We found the majority of the staff to be friendly and helpful too. Read less

Dear Grove Resort Management, My family and I are currently staying at your resort for three nights. I received a text message stating that I could check in online, but unfortunately, I encountered an error when I tried to do so. As a result, I arrived at the property approximately 10 minutes before 4:00 PM. Upon arrival, I found a long line at the front desk. While I fully understand that it’s peak season and delays can be expected, I was disappointed to observe one of the receptionists—specifically, the one with long hair—engaging in personal conversation with guests during such a busy time. She was discussing details about her private life, including her daughter’s name, instead of focusing on checking in guests efficiently. This contributed to a significant delay, and I ended up standing in line for over an hour. Fortunately, another staff member informed me that I could proceed to the terrace to complete my check-in, which only took five minutes. I believe your front desk staff would benefit from additional training on time management and maintaining professionalism during peak hours. Guest check-in should be handled efficiently, and personal conversations can wait until quieter moments. Thank you for taking the time to read my concerns. I hope you will consider addressing this matter so future guests can have a smoother experience. Sincerely, Ann M reservation number 988190222 Read less
