The Grove Resort and Spa

We stayed at three different resorts on our trip to Orlando and this was our hands down favorite. The room was tremendous, actually more of an apartment then a hotel room. It had a full kitchen, washer and dryer, which came in handy drying our wet bathing suits before packing. The pool was also our favorite, a lot of space, warm water, water slides and lazy river. We ate at the sandwich shop and the food was very good at a great price. Overall extremely impressed and would stay here again. The only areas of improvement was there were many rough spots (details) around the hotel building that needed touching up or finishing.

I have just returned from a 9 night stay at this beautiful property with my mother, 2 aunties and my two year old daughter. The cost of our two bedroom suite worked out at £289 per adult which is relevant for this review. The good The suites are beautiful, spacious and well equipped with all kitchen utensils, and everything you need. The beds are huge with luxurious bedding and pillows. There were three 40” flatscreen TVs in our two bed apartment. The pool areas are clean and offer a waitress service whereby you can order food/drinks to your loungers which is great when travelling with children that do not wish to sit in a restaurant. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. The water park is great for a hotel and the toddler section is great fun. The not so good Firstly rooms are only cleaned every other day. This is ok for 4 tidy adults but when you have a toddler making a mess and using towels like they are going out of fashion it is a bit inconvenient. I had read reviews regarding guests feet being black with the dirt and we did experience this but worked out very quickly that this was only after standing on the balcony in bare feet. The hotel is still under construction and we assume the dust is rising up onto the balcony as inside the apartment the floors were immaculate. Although the hotel is under construction we had no issues whatsoever with noise or unsightly views. A lot of the bar areas were not open probably due to the resort being very quiet. Finally upon check out the resort bill you with a fee of $22 per night which added $200 to our trip. As this was shared by four adults it was not a problem for us however if it was one family that had budgeted to the penny for their trip another $200 would be a disappointment and we would rather this have been included in the booking price so you know exactly what you are paying. Summary In all this hotel is great value for money. You do have to pay for the tubes at the water park and they are currently cutting down on housekeeping and part of the hotel is experiencing building work. This is all relative to the price paid and I suspect that the resort are trying to generate revenue to complete work being undertaken to finish the resort. The resort atmosphere is lacking slightly however I have no doubt that in two years time this will be utterly amazing. I also have no doubt that the price will have increased by then to reflect the quality of it and I am happy to have experienced this hotel for less than the cost of a travel inn here in the U.K. even if there were a few teething issues. I would definitely return and had a great trip overall.

I can't begin to explain how fantastic this trip was this weekend in Orlando at the Grove Resort where it not only met our expectations, it exceeded them! Between the incredible customer service and professionalism of the front Supervisor, Stephanie, to the meticulous attention and detail given from all the other staff... this should be your first choice for excellence when visiting the Orlando area, whether it be business or pleasure! Kudos to you Grove Resort & Spa, and continue to provide the best hotel experiences hands down :)
