Fantastic hotel for a Disney vacation! Location was perfect and the staff were very helpful and kind. Rooms were a good size for a family of four as well.
The rooms were clean, staff courteous, convenient location for the Disney parks, the shuttle facility.. the food options in the resort… great experience.
We enjoyed our stay. The room was clean, comfortable, and had great views of the fireworks. The staff were very helpful and it was in a great location (we were able to walk to the skyliner and Epcot). Plus the bottles of water provided in the rooms were an added bonus!
It's just such a great property. And the Swan, The Boardwalk, Yacht and Beach Club all within a walk or a boat ride. The best location on Diseny Property for sure!
The staff is amazing and the property is beautiful.
Breakfast options are limited, but the little store always had good options.
We would stay here again.
