    "Terrible hotel stay!"

    We reserved two rooms, specifically requested adjoining since we were with our grandchildren. We also specifically requested not to be put in the "mansions" and we were advised that would not be a problem because they were under renovations. We double checked two weeks prior to arrival. We checked in, put us in the mansions and stated no other rooms available. Further, no adjoining rooms. We were then advised we could check out of those rooms in the morning and then we could get adjoining rooms the next day, which we did. Great views of the parking lot! Went for lunch one day, as a matter of fact, many days.....you order your food and then get in line to pay. By the time you get through the line, the food is cold. I spoke to the manager, ten people in line, took 15 minutes to get through to a cashier and by then the food was completely cold. All they do is apologize, nothing is done to correct the situation for all the guests. We asked for a late check out and they advised due to the issues we went through and with cheaper rooms than what we paid for, they allowed us to get a 4 o'clock check out. When we goy home, they charged us 189.00 for the room. Tried to dispute same but all they say is "sorry". Go to hotels off site, Disney is nothing more than money grab anymore. No service and when items are addressed, all you get is a shrug of the shoulders and a sorry.

    "Great resort with beautiful grounds."
    TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
    Reviewed August 07, 2025 NEW
    We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week stay. The hotel is set in beautiful grounds, with the separate buildings and pools this big hotel has the feel of a small hotel. The kids really enjoyed the pool scene, the main pool was fun with a slide but they really enjoyed having another quiet pool closer to the room which was open late into the evening. The staff were all very helpful and paid careful attention to detail. The grounds, rooms and communal areas were all spotlessly clean. We enjoyed the quick serve restaurant and found plenty of variety. Disney transport is a huge bonus that helped to make our trip nice and easy. We recommend this hotel wholeheartedly.

    Pros: • Staff. All staff are amazing, professional, friendly, kind and full of energy. • Location/setting. Well kept, really clean and tidy, • Shop/Pool/Arcade. Shop is great if not overpriced but it’s to be expected. Pool and arcade are great. Children loved it. • Buses / Boats. Regular, easily accessible. Great service. Cons: • Rooms. Need updating, especially bathrooms. Showers are so bad, it took ages to wash shampoo out of your hair. The hotel have already started work on a couple of the buildings, so that’s great. • Food. Biggest issue for us. Really unhealthy, same menu everyday, canteen far too busy due to the tiny area it’s been set up in, with queues for each area and tills, reminded me of a school canteen. Noisy, chaotic. Unclean tables, chairs and floors. Plastic cutlery (not good). I don’t expect to eat with plastic cutlery when I’ve come on holiday as an adult, children not so much of an issue. We had a partial dining plan that came with the booking. Thank goodness we hadn’t paid for a full dining plan. We left with multiple meals still available. You are not allowed to have fruit/yogurt/cereal as a breakfast meal, it went down as a snack, which is ridiculous. So fruit - 1 snack, yogurt - 1 snack etc. using up 3/4 snacks for breakfast in order to try and be healthy. Not good. No where to make a piece of toast. I don’t want big unhealthy meals. I could get waffles, potato barrels (which are great the first day but the novelty wears off very quickly as they are so high in fat) with bacon and sausages as a meal/kids meal, but nothing healthy?! Even the omelettes had loads of cheese on, taking away that healthy option and also came with potato barrels. The same meal options every single day and there was a special on two of the days. We only stayed for 8 days, and we didn’t eat there for dinner on quite a few occasions as we couldn’t face the meals and neither could our children. There should be different options each day. There should be a salad/veg/fruit bar available at all times to help yourselves, or to add to each meal to make the meals healthier. For breakfast you should be allowed to have healthy options as a meal, with toast available as well. Cutlery should not be plastic for adults at the very least.
