The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Comfortable Family Suite

We stayed in a Cars suite, and it was good! The layout of the room had a master bedroom with its own bath, and the living area featured a Murphy bed and pull-out sofa, along with an additional bathroom. It was spacious and clean, perfect for our family. The kitchenette was a huge plus for keeping snacks, which made life easier during our stay.

Diverse Food Options

Dining at the Landscape of Flavors was a treat! We enjoyed a great variety of foods, from Indian-inspired dishes to burgers and even pasta options for the kids. There was something for everyone, and the food quality was impressive. I loved the gelato station for a sweet pick-me-up after long days at the parks.

Fun Pool Activities

The pools at the resort were fantastic! The main pool featured daily activities and games for kids, ensuring they were always entertained. There was even a splash pad area for little ones to enjoy. We loved the nighttime feature of movies under the stars; it made for a cozy and fun family experience.

Kid-Friendly Atmosphere

What a perfect place for our kids! They were absolutely thrilled with the Cars-themed decor and playground. The lifeguards at the pool were attentive, and we felt safe letting our children enjoy the water without worry. The attention to detail in creating a fun environment for families was evident everywhere we looked.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at the resort, especially enjoying the spacious Nemo suite and the fun, themed atmosphere throughout. The kids loved the activities and the pools, making our downtime just as enjoyable as our time in the parks. However, there were a few hiccups with the cleaning service and some minor noise issues, which left room for improvement.

My stay at this resort was mixed. On one hand, the Disney-themed elements were fun and engaging, especially for my family. The rooms were quite comfortable despite being small, making them suitable for families looking to save some money. However, the dining options left a lot to be desired, and I found the bus transportation a bit inadequate, leading to some long waits. If you can prioritize something else, you might want to consider other options.
