This was our first vacation planned through RCI. We were very pleased with how the transaction went. The resort was very conveniently located to enjoy all of Central Florida's attractions.

Best Things Nearby:
City Walk, Emeril's, and SeaWorld were nearby.

Best Things About the Resort:
It was close to a very nice grocery store.

All rooms are very near a pool and a play area for kids.

Resort Experience:
The whole resort is a gated community with security guards. The double-keyed doors to the suite made us feel safe, which in turn helped the vacation be more relaxing. The furnishings were nice, and there was mostly everything we needed until we got to a store. The main pool was heated and in use every day we were there. We did not participate in the activities provided, but it seemed many of the families were. We really were just too busy sightseeing to check out these activities, not that they were not interesting. My main negative comment was that they had assured us there would be a crib set up in our room for our baby and that we did not need to bring a Pack ‘N Play for her. When we arrived, this was not the case, and they were unable to provide one until the next day.

Emeril's Restauant

Restaurant

Shocked how expensive it was. But honestly the food was delicious and worth every penny. My 18-month-old appeared to enjoy it too. I never saw her eat so much. Apparently, she has VERY expensive taste. The waitstaff is very attentive and sociable. They picked up the baby's napkin and spoon practically before it hit the floor. Don't skip dessert either! It is well worth it.

Emeril's Restauant
ORLANDO Orlando, Florida

SeaWorld

Activity

Our 18-month-old really enjoyed this more than we thought she would, which was good, because it was not cheap to get in. There are a lot of shows to see, and it can take quite a while to walk from site to site.
