Embassy Vacation Resort at Grand Beach

  • January 2, 2003
  • Rated 4 of 5 by Starr38 from Dearborn Heights, Michigan
Best Things Nearby:
Disney, Univeral Studios, restaurants, shopping and major highway access.

Best Things About the Resort:
The units are very large with 3 bedrooms AND 3 full bathrooms. There are actually 2 master suites; one with a jacuzzi tub and one with a large garden type tub. They are on opposite ends of the unit. The 3rd bedroom is just off the main master. The living area and kitchen is in the middle and has a very large covered porch off it with beautiful views of the grounds (we had a straight on view of Lake Bryan). They are very private units and the parking is right underneath all of the units. The resort is small and cozy with all amenities within short walking distance. Lake Bryan offers a small white sand beach and there is great fishing and paddle boats. They have a great activity center that offers many poolside activities and a "kids camp" in the evening so Mom and Dad can have some adults only fun. It was especially close to the entrance to Downtown Disney.

Resort Experience:
A beautiful, quiet, peaceful resort just moments from all of the excitement that Orlando offers. It is a very comfortable place to stay and offers you everything or nothing at all, it's up to you.

Embassy Vacation Resort at Grand Beach

  • December 28, 2002
  • Rated 4 of 5 by vharris from bastrop, Texas
Best Things Nearby:
Right off of I-4 and approximately 3 miles to Downtown Disney; easy access to Hwy 192 and to all of the Disney properties. Numerous restarant and not far from Sea World and International Drive.

Best Things About the Resort:
Its floor plan and also the fact that every bedroom had its own bathroom.

Resort Experience:
The unit we stayed in was nearer to the lake than pool, however, there were well maintained concrete walkways all over the property. The elevators were wonderful since we were on the 3rd floor. The furniture and fixtures give you a tropical relaxed feeling. We spent a lot of time on our balcony at night. There were planned and carried through activities, no matter if only 2 showed to participate. The children loved this resort and so did I!

Embassy Vacation Resort at Grand Beach

  • December 16, 2002
  • Rated 5 of 5 by Laura Z from Somewhere in NJ
Best Things Nearby:
Close proximity to Disney (through Downtown Disney). Close enough to the other theme parks without driving for more than 20 minutes.

Best Things About the Resort:
The units in this resort are huge. The most comfortable king-sized bed I''ve ever slept in. Nice bathrooms. Upgraded fixtures. Large screened-in patio. All the supplies and linens you could want and replenished midweek.

Resort Experience:
We enjoyed building 4 (non-smoking) with parking beneath that is close to the main entrance and other guest areas. It was a great base from which to visit the attractions of Orlando. The pool is ridiculously small. I was told that they will be expanding the recreation facilities. If that''s your main focus, then this isn''t the best resort for you. All of the staff were very nice and helpful. We had an ant problem which was addressed right away. Also the coffee maker died and was replaced the same day. Front desk called after to ensure our requests were met. Very professional and accommodating.

These are the biggest units I''ve stayed in in Orlando. Loved having two master bedroom suites. We participated in a few children''s activities. If you want a very comfortable, large unit and top-notch service, this is a great trade.

Embassy Vacation Resort at Grand Beach

  • November 7, 2002
  • Rated 3 of 5 by Kapalua Dreams from Lathrup Village, Michigan
Best Things Nearby:
Resort was close to groceries and restaurants.

Best Things About the Resort:
We were only minutes from all the parks. Good location and nicely updated units.

Resort Experience:
The accomodations were beautiful. Parking was generally not an issue and the garages were close enough that you didn't get worn out just walking to and from them. Units were well laid-out and clean. Cross unit noise was minimal. I only noticed some noise from the stairwell since one of the bedrooms shared a wall with the stairwell. Our only disappointment was the "beach"--it was just a small strip of sand which was unusable due to gator and snake signs (wasn't going near there).
