Why would you stay in a hotel when you could have the comforts of home away from home?
Under a huge renovation, inside and out, we were lucky enough to get a 2 bedroom renovated suite. The rooms are nicely decorated. Both had walk-in closets, comfy beds and big bathrooms. The spacious master had a large tub and a separate shower and toilet. The second bedroom has two double beds and the bathroom has a separated tub and toilet.
The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of pots and pans, casserole dishes, table setting for 8, and your basic cooking utensils except a potato masher. Dish and dishwasher soaps and plenty of garbage bags contrary to other resorts. They even had disposable salt and pepper shakers. Nice appliances for a resort. Spacious dining room and comfy living area with a pullout couch (we didn't use bed).
The large balcony was screened in So it was nice we could leave the door open for fresh air and not have to worry about bugs or geckos getting in.
We didn't get to take advantage of the programs/events that the resort had to offer. But we did use the nice pool. Area was clean and had tables and had plenty of tables and chairs and towels with bathrooms by the pool. No lifeguard on duty.
The staff are very friendly and helpful. We checked in late (about 8:30pm) and I had two packages sent here with date of stay. They had to look around for but eventually found it during check in. The other they said they didn't receive. I went back three more times during our stay. The first two times, the girl just looked in the drawer and didnt see my envelope and on the fourth day of our stay, they eventually hunted it down in the same drawer but after checking the log book. It was there all along with the contents spilled out since the manager accidentally opened it. I'm still not sure how they didn't see our name and date of stay right on the envelope after looking through the drawer a couple of times and scrambling around for about 10 minutes. The girl was very apologetic. I'm not sure why they didn't record it on our file so that we knew there was something for pick up at the front desk when we arrived or called our room to remind used. That was my only complaint.
Publix, super walmart and plenty of restaurants and shops around the area. About 15 minutes from Disney and shopping. Freeway access nearby.
