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."

Rough Guide
Star
"With the atmosphere of a small village, this sprawling resort is dotted with swimming pools and restaurants, and has activities for the kids."
Gayot
"This sprawling 135-acre complex typifies the upscale, suburban, gated townhouse communities that are commonly found in Florida."
Zagat

"A "one-stop vacation location", this "enjoyable" Orlando timeshare resort feels like a "home away from home" thanks to "spacious", "comfortable" villas that "have everything"."
Star Service
"Goes both ways, offering self-sufficient types a solid base, though a surprising variety of dining options and the chipper staff please those in search of something more akin to a full-service hotel."
