The young man at check in was fantastic. He could see we were tired from a long drive and went out of his way to get us our room well before the slated check in. The property, pools, golf, and restaurants were clean and well manicured. The bedrooms were comfortable and bathrooms were very clean. Wonderful time away with friend.

Spacious, well maintained two bedroom, 2 bath unit. Fully equipped kitchen, dining table for 8, large living room, patio with table and chairs. Staff was uniformly friendly. Meals at three different restaurants were all wonderful…..fresh, tasty, prompt. Did not use the amenities, we were there for Disney. After a day of crowds, lines, overpriced treats, lines, and lines, the resort was a peaceful retreat. Took 20-45 minutes to get parked at any Disney park. Took 20-45 minutes back. Just depends on the hordes! Lots of restaurants on the road outside the resort. Drugstores, Walmart, Publix, and gas are close. We paid $1300 all-in for the unit for 7 nights. Well worth it.

We were ambushed at the checkin by timeshare salespeople who disingenuously made it out to be about looking after us and ensuring we had a good experience. While we attended the timeshare presentation in an attempt not to be rude they still charged us the $50 “deposit” fee.

This resort would have received a 5-star from me if I did not find roaches in my unit and the kitchen supplies were very limited. The bathroom showers were also very small for such a large unit. Other than that I truly liked the resort.
