Hotel: Walt Disney World, Wyndham Grande Resort, Bonnet Creek, Florida
First of all let me preface this by saying that it doesn’t matter where I’ve stayed in Orlando previously, I always find the hotels seem to be the same whether it’s a holiday inn or a Hilton they all look the same, smell the same and are run the same.
This hotel on the other hand was different.
As we pulled up to valet we were greeted by a friendly porter who took care of our luggage as we went inside to check in.
The lobby area is beautiful, it’s clean and just feels so relaxing.
We were checked in promptly for our one night stay and guided to our room.
The room had a large bathroom with a walk in shower and a large vanity area.
The bedroom itself had everything you’d need for a comfortable stay including of course 2 very comfortable beds which were welcomed by two tired theme park walking guests!
The hotel grounds are fantastic from the number of restaurants where we made use of the buffet breakfast which had great options and wonderful staff who were extremely accommodating to dietary needs.
The swimming pool although we didn’t use was extremely well kept and looked like great fun, there was also a nice pool side grill restaurant which we also didn’t have time to use but would definitely use on a return trip.
Beyond the hotel is a fabulous lake with a water fountain in the centre. There is also a path that walks around the lake and past all the other Bonnet Creek accommodations, it should be noted here that as a guest of any of these hotels you are able to use the amenities of the other hotels.
Around the lake we noted some other fantastic pools, some with lazy rivers! As well as play parks and a miniature golf course.
The hotel was an extremely short drive to the Disney parks and was always pleasant to return to such a lovely hotel after walking the theme parks for hours.
Would definitely stay here again!
Oh there is also a spa on site which looked fabulous and a games room too!
Just to note also, we had planned a 1 night stay here due to a problem at another hotel and our plan was to then go to Miami for 2 night and return to another hotel.
Our stay here was so fantastic we cancelled our other booking and booked an additional 5 nights here after our Miami trip.
