"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."

"Mission-style architecture, an impressive collection of musical memorabilia, and an underwater sound system built into the impressive pool make this the hippest of Universal’s luxury resorts."
Rough Guide
"Stuffed with rock memorabilia, and with familiar tunes blaring out at poolside, this is the least tranquil of the park’s resorts – and the most popular with the younger generation."
Star Service
"Overlooking Universal Studios from its privileged locale inside the park, this hotel is situated on a waterway that connects it to its equally impressive siblings."

"Guests "have a blast" at this "lively", "upbeat" Orlando resort that's set in a "terrific" location within "walking distance of Universal's parks"."
Gayot
"California mission-style architecture, thoughtfully chosen music programming, an on-site concert venue and authentic rock-n-roll memorabilia make this resort an attraction all by itself."
