"An array of restaurants, a premier golf club, a spectacularly landscaped pool and play area, and beautifully decorated spacious rooms are all combined with exceptional service."
Rough Guide
"It’s the recreational activities on offer – a giant lagoon-shaped swimming pool, full-service spa and manicured golf course – that are the main draws."
Star Service
"An easy 5- to 10-minute shuttle ride from the Magic Kingdom, depending on traffic, Orlando World Center Marriott remains a fresh if frantic option."

"This antebellum, Southern-style resort has two distinctive areas alongside a picturesque Mississippi-style waterway."
Rough Guide
"This resort
combines two Southern themes: the row houses and
cobbled streets of New Orleans in the French Quarter; and
the grandiose manors overlooking the Mississippi River at
the Riverside."

""Evoking the grandeur of the Old South" and offering "serenity to the overstimulated", this "gem" is a "sprawling" resort set on "lovely" grounds in a "killer" location."
Fodor's
"Buildings in this family-friendly, moderately priced resort look like Southern plantation–style mansions (in the Magnolia Bend section) and rustic bayou dwellings."
