DK Eyewitness "In the style of a medieval fairytale castle, this popular hotel features fanciful surroundings, gargoyles in the lobby, and a large pool."
Rough Guide "A good-value, elaborate theme hotel, complete with Renaissance music and medieval decor."
Star Service "This imaginative nine-story hotel continues to bear the telltale crenellated profile of its theme park masters." Full review
Frommer's "Most of the hotels along International Drive fall into two categories: gigantic convention-fed pillow mills and nondescript low-rise chain-run pillow mills." Full review
Fodor's "You won't really believe you're in a castle at this midprice hotel, although the whimsical gold-and-silver spires... may make you feel as if you're having a Harry Potter moment." Full review
Gayot "Guests are greeted in the lobby with mosaic-tile murals, arched doorways, Renaissance-era music and piped in nature sounds, for what's just the beginning of a multi-layered storybook affair."

"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."
Zagat3.8
"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." Full review
