"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."

"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."
