Acceptable stay near the parks

lagoon view clean room bathroom door room access

Our room had a nice view of the lagoon. I liked that we could see when the taxi boat was coming. The room was quiet and clean.

The bathroom door kept opening. It gave zero privacy while using the toilet. The walk to our room was a maze and it was difficult to find the room initially.

Mixed Feelings About My Visit

low beds missing lagoon view

The water taxi service to the parks was convenient, reducing travel time.

I was disappointed with the room I received. It was an accessible room, yet I booked a standard lagoon view. The beds were too low, and it lacked a split bathroom, a problem given my family's needs. I was told no other rooms were available initially, and the replacement lacked the lagoon view I paid for.

i found the staff helpful and friendly. the hotel offered easy access to the theme parks by water taxi. i also found the location fabulous.

the rugs in the rooms were not great. i noticed we did not have a microwave in the room, so i could not reheat leftovers. the hotel did not provide heavy blankets, so i turned the heat up higher.
