A recent addition to the Grande Lakes resort's outdoor activities is a zipline adventure, with two separate courses to choose from, each with multilevel structures, poles, cables, platforms, and unique climbing elements.

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."
