First time staying at this hotel , having previously stayed at the Dolphin (across the road). We decided to base our family Disney trip from the Swan Reserve. On arrival the exterior an interior looks really nice. Unfortunately the Bell station was too busy counting their tips to help with our cases on arrival, which did spoil the overall arrival experience (please do better) not what you want after a 9 hour flight. We had a corner suite with an adjoining room for 5 of us. This worked fantastically well and more than enough space for the 2 weeks we stayed. The pool area is small but ideal for what we needed it for. Didn't use the restaurant but did frequently use the shop. The hotel has great Disney transportation and a short walk to the sister hotels/Boardwalk and the water taxi's. I would certainly stay here again and generally found the staff to be very helpful and friendly.

BABY FOUND A USED BLOODY PAD IN THE SUITE

Our recent experience at the Swan Reserve was deeply disappointing. While we’ve been loyal guests of Marriott properties for the past 15 years, this visit was far from the standard we’ve come to expect.
During our stay, our 16-month-old child discovered a used bloody pad in the bathroom—clearly left behind from a previous guest. A Incredibly disturbing and unacceptable oversight in cleanliness. What made the situation even more troubling was the way it was handled by the hotel staff. Given that a child was involved, we expected a much more serious and compassionate response.
This type of incident poses a real health risk and raises serious concerns about the overall cleanliness and safety standards of the property. As a Disney-affiliated resort that caters to families, this lapse is especially alarming.
We hope this matter is addressed with the urgency and accountability it deserves—not only for our family, but for the safety of all future guests.

We’re not theme park or amusement park people, but this hotel has us rethinking. The property is quiet compared to other Disney spots especially the nearby Swan and Dolphin. It’s new and feels modern. Design elements of the suites feel thoughtful. Interior decoration feels tasteful and not Disney. The staff is top-notch from the moment you pull-up to check-in to turn-down. They are professionals and they are the reason we come back when in Orlando.

Arrived at 4 pm on a Friday and check in line was quite short. They upgraded us to an Epcot view room which was just lovely. The gym was well equipped with a nice view of the trees that surround the grotto pool just across the road at the Swan. My sister stayed at the Swan and the walk from our room to the grotto pool was much shorter than from her room. The ceilings were much higher in our room at the Reserve than at the Swan. And we appreciated the smaller size of the hotel- you cannot get lost, unlike the Swan and Dolphin.

My husband and I spent a night at Disney’s Swan Reserve, and it exceeded our expectations.
From the moment we arrived, Mackai made us feel welcome—warm, hospitable, and incredibly helpful. We were thrilled that our room was ready by noon, a rare and appreciated surprise!
We stayed in a one-bedroom suite, which was clean, crisp, and spacious—perfect for the two of us. We especially loved the thoughtful bathroom layout: a half bath with a sink and toilet separated from the main bath, which featured an additional sink and shower. It made getting ready so much easier.
While we didn’t have time to fully enjoy the pool, restaurants, bars, or fitness center, we took a quick look around—and everything looked top-notch for future visits.
The location is ideal for exploring EPCOT and Hollywood Studios—we loved not having to use our car at all.
We’ll absolutely stay here again and are already recommending the Swan Reserve to friends, family, and clients.
