International Drive, Orlando

Virgin rating

The hotel

This isn’t just a holiday resort, it’s a world in itself. For starters, there’s the 18-hole golf course and 4 seasonally heated outdoor pools. The Spa at Shingle Creek is perfect for a pamper, and there's fun for all the family with tennis, basketball and sand volleyball games galore. When hunger calls, head to one of the many restaurants and choose from a range of cuisines, or head out onto I-Drive for some classic American diners. Just a short drive from Orlando's best theme parks, you're never far from the fun. And once the day is done, head to your relaxing room for some down time before another day of adventure ahead.

Overall we had a wonderful stay at the Rosen! The rooms are spacious and clean. Sure, they are a little dated, but the beds were one of the comfiest hotel beds we’ve ever stayed in. Room tvs can access your Netflix account etc which was lovely for when you’re tired and just fancy relaxing for an hour or two in the room. Check in was smooth, hotel staff are very friendly. We didn’t hire a car for this stay as we were only there for 10 nights. The hotel provided shuttle service was brilliant, and lyfts to Disney parks there and back were cheaper than paying for parking at Disney! Lyft to idrive ranged from $5-$7. So a great location to get everywhere. Hotel restaurants and bar were great, and the on site Starbucks for a morning coffee was ideal. Pool areas are brilliant, with lovely service staff. My only negative for the whole stay would be the New Years Eve buffet. There was some lovely food, but all the hot food we had was stone cold! Great tasting beef and mash and asparagus, but all cold. That was a disappointment. We all said we would happily return to Rosen Shingle Creek. Read less

Rooms very expensive and no wifi in the room. If wifi is available, it is very slow and unusable. Florida adds high taxes on room rates. The conference meeting rooms were cold. If you decide to rent a car, be prepared to pay $40.00/night just to park in the facility.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Rosen Shingle Creek with my family this Christmas. We spent 9 nights at the hotel, and it was truly perfect. The hotel was beautifully decorated for the season, with Christmas trees placed throughout, adding to the festive atmosphere. One of our favorite parts of the stay was breakfast each morning at Cafe Osceola. The breakfast buffet was fantastic, with an incredible variety of options. The service was exceptional, and the staff was warm, friendly, and very attentive. In particular, John Paul and Daniel, Soloman, were all outstanding. They made us feel so welcome and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. Read less

Parking is terrible - We had a very long walk - yes they have a golf cart however hard to get one - yes only one running - and they do have valet experience. Hotel rooms on the older side. Check in was very easy and simple. I would recommend it was nice and close to everything.

Beautiful property with a wonderfully friendly staff! Special thanks to... -Marie, Sandra, Miles, and Beatrize at the Spa...highly recommend visiting the spa! -Maria at Cala Bella....wouldnt eat here again, food was way too salty (and I love salty food!), ingredients are lower quality than fine dining outside of a hotel, especially the cheap/sour tasting olive oil. Grains bowl at the pool bar was actually better than this dinner. -Raffi at Cafe Osceola...surprisingly delicious breakfast buffet with lots of healthy options as well. Hotel was clean, pools were nice, only downsides were Cala Bella and sheets being a bit old/scratchy. Would highly recommended! Read less
