Hotel Details

We spent a week as a group of 5 in a 2-bedroom unit located at the south end of the main complex (note that a portion of the resort is across a busy street from the main part - a possibly less desirable location as some reviewers have noted). As is typical in this resort area, check-in was a little hectic since everyone tends to arrive & depart on the same couple of days, but it went fairly well and fending off the impossible-to-avoid timeshare pitch wasn't too difficult. Our unit was clean, had no objectionable smell(s) and with the exception of the microwave everything worked properly. Units are grouped around three different pool-clubhouse facilities that feature (in addition to the pool) exercise facilities and internet access so those amenities will be close by. The main office with it's mini-mart & snack bar was a bit of a wallk from our unit, but we only needed to go there a couple of times during the week. The resort is located just off Highway 192, which is sort of the ""main drag"" of the area and is lined with every kind of eating & shopping establishment you might want. A Super WalMart is nearby, a good choice for initial grocery shopping after arrival. Disney World is minutes west. All in all, Celebrity is a perfectly adequate place to spend your vacation, and a good value for the money.

WE stayed 11 nights and had a great time.. staff was nice rooms were clean.. we had 2 whirl pool baths... dont belive the hipe.. yes not a 5 star resort but Dollar for Dollar the NICEST PLACE I have stayed.. If you want a 5 star resort then pay for it if you a want a really nice place that is afforable to the average person.. youll love this place.. pool is a little small... rooms where great.. and the people where great.. WE BOOKED FOR NEXT YEAR.. and will stay here everytime we come back down.

I have stayed at this hotel several times and each time the stay was different, especially with how clean it was. the first time we stayed it was clean and everyone was mostly nice. The second time we stayed the frige was filthy and smelled like mildew (I cleaned it because it was taking housekeeping too long to get there.) The third time was great. Everything was clean and the staff was nice. We are going to stay again soon, but we are going to bring some cleaning supplies!! I know it is terrible and shouldn't have to do that, but the price of the hotel is great. It is close to all of the parks and they have some great resutrants around. The malls are close by too. Defiantely bring some Febreeze if you don't want your room to smell like smoke!! We are going to bring our own blanket this time too, cause the top blankets are questionable in their cleanness. The pool area's are nice. The second time we stayed at the hotel, the water had some kind of stuff in it and we had to get out and shower, it left a film on our skin. Overall, I would recommend this hotel. The price and location are great. I have learned from staying at this hotel, bring cleaning supplies and blankets!! Enjoy your trip to FL!!

Compared to some reviews it was a good place for the money. We booked through interval and we were placed on the main property right behind the main pool. It seemed to be a newly renovated condo but when we first walked in the smell was horrible. I had requested an ionizer before we arrived just in case there was a smoke smell and there was no way an ionizer was placed the night before. If you are planning to stay make sure you use your first night to wash the sheets and air out the room. As soon as I walked in I threw off the quilts and put them into a closet and didn't touch them again. I washed all of the sheets and middle blanket so I knew they were clean. Both of my kids have asthma and my daugther's did act up when we were there. She coughed a lot and we had to use her inhaler a few times. As soon as we left she stopped coughing. The air conditioner didn't work so they came in and fixed it but then it wouldn't turn off. So I called again and they showed me how to reset it so every few hours I had to reset it. When we got in, there were ants in the sink so I called down and they sprayed and they stayed out of that sink but we found a few throughout the condo. There had been a lot of rain so I think they were taking shelter. If you choose to stay there it is beautiful on the main property (I didn't go across the street) and close to a lot but a car is necessary. Plan to do cleaning the first night and it will be fine.

Great restaurants

There are many restaurants within driving distance. Logans Roadhouse 5925 W. Irlo Bronson Hwy is wonderful. We ate there twice. Very family friendly and excellent food.

Disney attractions

You are very close to the attractions but it is better to have a car for transportation.

The property is stunning. We had a condo on the main property right behind the main pool. Before we arrived I asked for an ionizer to be put in because of the smoking issue and my kids have asthma. As soon as we walked into the room I knew there was no ionizer put in because it smelled so bad. We tried to air out the room but there aren't screens on most of the windows and I wasn't in the mood to have lizards in the room. My daughters asthma acted up the whole time we were there. We found ants in the sink and throughout the stay they were in all of the bathrooms. The first night I stayed up until 2:30a.m. just washing sheets because they felt gritty and washing the place down. We ended up getting candles to help with the smell and we thought it worked until we got home and everything still stunk. I can still smell the smell in some of the items and we got home June 13th. Both deadbolts were broken, the towel rack fell off and almost hit my daughter in the head, the a/c was broken and they kept trying to repair it but it didn't work. Customer service was good because everytime I called someone was right there but I don't think I should have had to call that much. There salesman was great, we had no pressure about having the breakfast. I wish I could say the same for the corporate customer service reps. I have expressed my concerns and haven't heard anything back. I personally talked to one and she was the one who stated an ionizer would be in place and that there was no renovation being down on the property and she lied.
