"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."

"A pair of 56-foot-tall sea creatures bookend this 25-story glass pyramid, a luxe resort designed, like the adjoining Swan, by world-renowned architect Michael Graves."

"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."
