"The seeming isolation of the location of this 1,064-room luxury tower... lends the property an enviable natural tranquility that nearly all other Orlando mega-hotels lack."
Jetsetter
"Grand statement in Central Florida with five restaurants, a lazy river and a Greg Norman-designed golf course."

"Home to Tod English’s BlueZoo restaurant, a must no matter where you stay, this whimsical resort is best known for the tremendous dolphins that sit atop its exterior."
Rough Guide
"Sister hotel to the Dolphin... from which it’s separated by an artificial lake and beach, and likewise whimsically decorated... equipped with every conceivable luxury."

"Centered on an "enormous, pyramidlike" main building, this "stylish" Michael Graves--designed resort is "within walking distance of Epcot"."
Frommer's
"The ceilings are a little bit low, the staff a little bit distracted, but the location never quits."
