Great place. So spacious and kids loved the themed room and pool. Would definitely stay again
We loved staying at this place. It exceeded our expectations. We loved the location, the resort itself was perfect, the villa we stayed at was clean, stocked and more than enough room for everyone. Definitely would recommend this place and if we ever come back to this area we would absolutely stay here again.
We loved this resort, first time staying here. House was very clean, and so nice. The kids loved every minute. We were able to cook dinners, contact front desk for questions, and the pool area was so much fun! Can't wait to come back!
We had a great time at Villatel! Our 5 bedroom villa was majestic, with plenty of space to move around. We had so much fun in the pool, and made happy memories. We’re definitely coming back in the future 😌
The villa was beautiful. It looked and felt almost brand new. The pool and property were also very nice. I like the fact that the entire property was gated and you had a parking space reserved for your villa right out your door.
The Villatel property was amazing! The property was clean and well laid out. The villa had everything a family could need. It was so nice to have a kitchen and laundry. The pool was the perfect place to hang out all day!
The property is new so everything was new and clean. The property has a great location, close to Universal and not far from Disney and Disney Springs. I liked that it had a restaurant on site that was quick to get your food or bar items. Like the all the options for the kids to do during the day, basketball tournaments, slime making etc. we didn't have to keep them entertained all day.
Resort is new and clean. Staff if helpful. Only down side is food options are not very good. There is one bar/grill but everything we tried was disappointing. If this resort improved the food it would be 5 star for sure.
Our 4 bedroom villa was everything and more. Fully stocked kitchen with full bbq tools. Super clean. The chair in the living room had vacuum lines. Which I love to see. Staff was beyond helpful. Everyone always said hello and smiled. We booked food, goceries and uber right to our front door. Would stay again for sure.
The villa was clean. Limited items in the kitchen and the bunk room got shot hot that the top bunks were unusable multiple nights. The AC is set to 70 and the bunks block the vents. Called in to the number and didn't always reach a person so had to wait until the next day. Lots of charges for things- parking, pickle ball, etc. Our villa was very far from the pool. Easy to get around and close to things.
Both the villa pool and public pool well maintained. Great areas for all kinds of rekaxing, fun and family time. Would stay here in a heartbeat again. Its better than Disney properties!!
