Walt Disney World Swan

Walt Disney World, Orlando

Star rating

The hotel

Next to the Walt Disney World Dolphin and the Swan Reserve, you’ll be wowed by what’s on offer across these three resorts. Being a partner hotel of Disney, by staying here you'll have access to a whole host of exclusive benefits that will allow you to make the most of the parks - with early entry every single day as well as extended hours at the end of the day on select evenings too! As well as this, you can use the complimentary transportation to the parks - although you won't need it to get to EPCOT or Disney's Hollywood Studios, they're within easy walking distance (or a scenic water taxi ride). And our favourite thing about staying within this complex of hotels, is the fact that you have access to the facilities of all 3! So that's over 20 restaurants and bars, 6 pools, a spa and daily activities for all ages to just name a few. Staying here will ensure you get the upmost of your Walt Disney World trip, but you'll also have plenty to keep you entertained on non-park days too.

The Swan hotel is a beautiful and well-maintained property, and its convenient location near Disney World made it an ideal choice for my trip. My room was mostly comfortable, and I appreciated the quiet and restful atmosphere. The only noise issue I experienced was on my last night when I could hear my newly arrived neighbors across the way and their active young children. I also had a great view of the nightly fireworks over at Epcot, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I found the Java cafe a great spot for a quick breakfast, where I was greeted with friendly faces and quick service. However, the positive service largely ended there. The rest of the hotel service was inconsistent. I tried two out of the three restaurants. The hotel restaurants will adequately feed you, but for an exceptional dining experience, I would recommend exploring the many options outside the hotel. Dining reservations are needed for any restaurant you plan to attend in or outside the hotel. I didn't get to try out the pool area; it was blocked off for a convention. It wasn't clear if guests were permitted in the pool area during the convention. I spent most of my time outside of the hotel, so this was not a huge inconvenience for me. Some front desk staff were friendly and helpful, while others appeared to be going through the motions and more interested in their phones or conversations than assisting guests. Other staff members I encountered seemed preoccupied, and in one or two instances, I felt as though they were questioning whether I was a guest. A specific incident that stood out occurred on my last day: After checking my luggage, I had some time before heading to the airport. While sitting in the lobby finishing an ice cream I had purchased at the nearby Dolphin hotel, a staff member walked by and gave me an unsettling glare. Despite the beautiful hotel and enjoyable room, the inconsistent service would make me hesitant to return. There are many other options in the area. Read less

The location of these Marriott Swan and Dolphin is perfect for Epcot and Hollywood studios. I used the complementary bus services and boat service over my stay and got to all my destinations easily. For sure the Swan is the quiet sister, and a perfect location for sola traveler looking not to get swept up by the families and the action at the Dolphin. The room was very clean, and the service friendly. But, in terms of a deluxe resort, they promise well and deliver poorly, which is a bad omen for any place: 1. The "balcony" room had a balcony, but if faced an inner courtyard, which offered 0 privacy, so not worth the extra money. 2. This was a "deluxe" room and there is an additional "resort fee" but the room is very basic, and yes you have access to a pool but that is about it from Marriott. In fact this deluxe room had far less than others for less money. No clock in the room, (I asked at the front desk and on the phone, and was told I would have a clock delivered, but it never arrived). 3.Bath robe but no slippers, none of the usual bathroom extras like Qtips, or cotton balls unless you ask for them. It seems cutting costs in room amenities is the new management way. 4. phone in the room did not work the entire trip, reported each day but nothing done. 5.Pool is self serve for towels, and the bar is open some days but not others, so there is no way to know if and how to order food/drink by the pool. 6. No water, no fountain or water bottles near the pool? Only 6 pool umbrellas so if you need shade it is iffy. No staff attended at the pool for the four days I was there. The only deluxe I see is the price. Read less

Booked this resort because my kids were impressed by the looks on our previous trip. We had high expectations, considering the $500 a night rate, plus fees. The buildings are huge, but the rooms are very small, specially the bathrooms. We are very tall and could not fit without hitting a wall in the bathroom. The food is very expensive and not good at all. We ended up walking to the nearby hotels for better food. We also expected to see more families, but instead there were mostly adults traveling for a convention. They took most of the hotel space, specially the lobby, it was loud with people drinking, so not family friendly. Felt very awkward being around so many people in suits, while we were vacationing in shorts. I cannot recommend this resort for a family vacation, but only for a business trip. Read less

Wonderful stay at the Swan! We typically stay at the Dolphin once a month, but this time we found a great rate at the Swan, the Dolphin’s sister resort, and decided to stay here again. The Swan offers a quieter atmosphere — perfect if you prefer a more relaxed vibe without a large, bustling lobby bar. The rooms have recently been updated with new flooring, and unlike the Dolphin, the Swan features queen beds instead of doubles, which we really appreciated. The location is fantastic, within walking distance to Disney’s BoardWalk, EPCOT, and Hollywood Studios. As a Marriott Platinum member, I also love that both the Swan and Dolphin consistently honor excellent upgrades. Thank you, Disney Swan, for another great stay! Read less

This was our second time staying here. We are a family of 4: 2 adults & 2 teens. We did a split stay: 3 nights at Port Orleans Riverside and 2 nights here. We coordinated our Park days to take advantage of this location, which is walking distance (or a boat ride) to Epcot and Hollywood Studios. Highly recommend the boat. We never waited more than 5-10 minutes. And the ride over is about 5-7 minutes. The hotel itself is Westin level and very much has a resort feel. Checkin was fast. And we were able to get a room right away (11:30am). Never had to wait more than 30 seconds for an elevator. Multiple pools, restaurants, and fitness center. We ate at the Cabana pool side restaurant. Service and food were good. The hotel room was freshly renovated. Very clean and modern. Light and bright. Quiet. My only criticisms are 1) there is no fan in the bathroom, which seems crazy for a newly renovated room. It was very steamy and took a while to dry out and 2) as others have mentioned, sadly the beds are not the usual Westin quality. They were very firm and more uncomfortable than lower end Marriotts I have stayed at. Even with these small criticisms, I would definitely stay here again. The location, cleanliness, relaxed vibe, and luxury feel are worth it. Read less
