Very comfortable
The room was perfect for me and my daughter. It was nice to have a separate bedroom from the rest of the area and a kitchen to meal prep for the long tournament days. The staff was really friendly and helpful. Julio, the overnight clerk, was a great help to me for rebooking my room for an extended night. He was patient and was able to get me in the same room.

Amazing Hotel in a perfect location
Just a perfect hotel in a perfect location, the staff at the front desk were amazing and very friendly in particular Vanessa. our room was incredible, so clean and very comfortable. The bed was also comfortable and the sheets were very soft. My wife and I were here from the 1st May to the 15th with our son and his girlfriend before flying down to Miami for a week and the 5* hotel we stayed at was awful compared to the Sonesta and we wish we had stayed a 3rd week here. You are literally 20 mins from every theme park. I would be very happy to come back and stay here again.

Jun 19, 2025Deposit
Although I really enjoyed my stay here and the staff were very helpful, I was told my safety deposit would be refunded within 30 days, it's now been 31. I was made aware of the refund upon checking out. Shame really as I would have rated 5.

Jun 11, 2025Positives and negatives
It’s only fair to start with the positives because there certainly are a few. This hotel is well positioned for a family Florida holiday particularly if Universal is the destination and fairly close to the Disneyland Paris also. This hotel also is also situated near many options to eat, drink and shop and is opposite Icon Park. Staff were great, really friendly and helpful, pool was warm and allowed to bring your own drinks (and food) poolside which was a nice touch, hot-tub was super warm and both pools were open long hours with free towels. Air-con very good but a little loud. The main gripe I had with the rooms was they weren’t very clean and certainly weren’t cleaned often enough, we had an anti-slip shower mat in the bath/shower that was filthy underneath, I don’t know how this had been missed. There is no bar at this hotel which also led to a lack of general atmosphere and gathering areas. Really depends on your budget, if it’s is cheap and cheerful you are looking for and only used as a base then I would possibly recommend, do check out alternatives though.
