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.

We had the BEST week! We came to go school shopping from ME and left with some great memories! My kids LOVED the Florider, Eric was awesome giving lessons to our family. My youngest daughter who’s 5 even did it and he was there the entire time by her side helping her feel confident & comfortable! We will be back next year

Don’t let the marketing photos fool you. This place is not luxury. We checked in on a Saturday evening and headed to the resort pool (not the waterpark as that closed ridiculously early at 6:00 pm). The pool decks were filthy, trash, dirt and cigarette butts on the ground, and the crowds were rough (beer bottles scattered everywhere, vaping in the pool, using vulgar language… just not a kid-friendly environment at all). The unit itself was modern and clean but a very long and confusing walk to the pools. The kitchen has no kitchen supplies—no hand soap, no hand towel, no dish soap, no sauce or frying pans, no hot pads… it was impossible to cook without those. Also they didn’t have a real coffee pot, only a Keurig and they charge $2 per pod at the store on-site. Also be warned there is a $29/night parking fee + $51/night resort fee. The only reason I’m giving it 2 stars is because the waterpark was well-kept and the in-room laundry was very helpful. Read less

We had a very comfortable stay at the Grove for 20 nights at the end of July to August. We had a three bed apartment with 2 en-suites, a fully equipped kitchen and washer dryer. The apartment was spacious, clean and the kids enjoyed having their own rooms. The resort is set in a quiet part of Orlando but still just 15 minutes from Disney which was perfect. There are plenty of pools to choose from and it’s a pleasant resort to walk around when it isn’t too hot! On the downside, although the apartment was clean there is a lot of wear and tear about, scuff marks on the walls, drawer units that are beginning to fall apart etc. it’s a shame but a bit of updating for the rooms is due. Likewise it was the same with the pool, clean but in need of a bit of updating. For food in the shop or any extras are VERY expensive- and they don’t price anything in the shop so be warned. We got caught for over $20 for 4 AA batteries and a bottle of milk! Also don’t bother using the messaging service as nobody responds! With a few little tweaks and room updates, this could be a fantastic resort- it’s almost there but not quite!! Read less

We just returned from the Grove Resort. I wanted to start off by thanking the front desk staff Joanna , Robert and Eleanor they were so kind and welcoming and a really friendly trio . It was someone else who checked us in that wasn’t really welcoming however after speaking to Joanna ,Robert and Eleanor we really felt more comfortable and welcomed. The location of the resort is really ideal it’s surrounded by shops and restaurants , close to Disney Springs and theme parks. The grounds are really beautifully maintained. There is Walmart , target , grocery stores and other shops and restaurants really close and convenient. There is a washer and dryer in each room which made it easier for us during the trip and after since we brought back less dirty laundry. The weather sucked , it rained every afternoon then got cloudy. The waterpark pool closed first day we arrived because a disgusting guest staying at the resort pooped in the pool so they had to close it for cleaning , my family and other guests missed the first sunny day of being in the waterpark pool . However there is a 2nd smaller pool further down. The rooms are spacious and great for larger families. We had the 3 bedroom 3 bath resort view , which by the way the view can be anywhere, could be front or back or facing the other buildings since there are 3 of them. If you want waterpark and pool view then book the superior view. The beds are so comfortable to sleep in. I think the building where the lobby and front desk is located would be more ideal to get downstairs quicker The resort is like a maze tbh , it wasn’t really ideal for us staying in building 3 floor 7 , our room was in the corner and far . We did notice 2 dead roaches in the hallway of floor 7 building 3 . They ask you to leave your garbage bag outside the room for the cleaning staff to pick it up next day, so I’m not surprised we saw roaches , that was the part that we didn’t like . When we got our room , the floor was sticky and the faucets in washrooms and kitchen did not look clean. Overall it was a great vacation, however I do ask for the Grove to please clean the pool and lazy river area. The ground in some parts of the pool is green and so is the lazy river, with the amount of money that will be charged this needs to be one of their priority, going up to the water slides too . The area needs cleaning. You will need to pay for the resort fees per night , parking fees , plus incidentals ( however incidentals return to your cc once you check out ) if no issues. I hope this helps the next traveller. Thanks Read less
