Orlando World Center Marriott

Orlando World Center Marriott is a super fun resort to stay at! The pool area is a paradise. Waterfalls cascade into the pool, which is more like a lake than a pool it's so big. You can swim under the waterfalls! Fires beside the pool at night make for a nice spot to warm up after your swim. The hotel building has an attractive terraced design, which looks great as you swim around the pool. There is a 90-ft daredevil waterslide and two twisty waterslides, plus a kids zero entry pool with splash zone. Even if it's windy outside, for some reason the pool area is sheltered from it and kids can play happily in the pleasant weather.

The rooms are spacious and have wonderful views of the expansive forests in Orlando from their high balconies.
The sports bar is noisy but fun to eat at. If you can though, leave the hotel and eat at Bahama Breeze, a Caribbean restaurant with a giant outdoor patio where you can sit in a tropical setting and listen to a reggae musician playing a steel drum and singing (this is quite loud). The West Indies curry is incredible! We eat here every time we go to Orlando because it's so good! See link to Fort Myers branch for photos of what this restaurant looks like.
Another fantastic resort in Orlando is Hyatt Grand Cypress.
