"Located in the community of Celebration, just minutes from the Walt Disney World theme parks, this hotel features 240 one- and two-bedroom suites."
Frommer's
"Curvy-walled and cloistered, this 240-room hotel arrived on the scene in 2008 (as the Mona Lisa—her grinning image still greets guests in the lobby) and remains a peaceful, well-kept secret."

Fodor's
"Much like a European boutique hotel in style and service, the Meliá Orlando is very human in scale and crisply minimalist in decor, and is only minutes from Disney."

"The 240-room Melia Orlando Suite Hotel at Celebration is an upscale, family-friendly, all suite hotel conveniently located near the interstate and a short drive from the Disney theme parks."

A free shuttle connects guests to the theme parks, but there's an unavoidable resort fee tacked onto the room.

"Gaylord Palms has its own restaurants, recreational facilities, shops, and the Canyon Ranch Spa Club."
Star Service
"This Southern-flavored convention-resort follows the blueprint of its Nashville sibling Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center, offering an upscale biospheric experience."

You can choose between soft orange or deep blue color schemes, though all units share the same well-rounded amenity roster.
Gayot
"This elaborate, decidedly Southern resort... pays tribute to distinctive regions and eras of Florida that are rich in history and charm, though often underrepresented."
Zagat
"It may be centered on a convention center, but this sprawling 63-acre Marriott resort in Kissimmee also attracts leisure travelers."
Frommer's
"It's a convention center in disguise, but the Gaylord Palms appeals to vacationers, too, and is not your run-of-the-mill resort."
