DK Eyewitness
"Lush tropical gardens and waterfalls, a white sand beach, and a lagoon swimming pool with a steaming volcano and torch-lit walkways create the illusion of an island paradise."
Travel + Leisure
"Commanding an enviable position on the Seven Seas Lagoon, and a short boat ride from the Magic Kingdom’s front gates, the South Seas–inflected Polynesian is a circa-1971 Disney original." Full review

"The Art Deco-style here pays tribute to Hollywood movies, with spotlights reminiscent of a Hollywood movie premiere and glamorous touches throughout."
Gayot
"This octagonal, 21-floor tower demands attention with its rooftop globe bathed in spotlights and breathtaking views of the Orlando skyline from inside the towering building."
Frommer's
"Because it occupies one of those dated cylindrical towers that were briefly in vogue in the early 1970s, the ideally located property has slight novelty that doesn’t translate to luxury." Full review

Request a room that doesn’t face east, as the floodlights from the minigolf joint next door are blinding.
Fodor's
"With a hard-to-miss giant silver ball perched atop it, this hotel on the north end of International Drive has a contemporary atmosphere." Full review
Lonely Planet
"The art-deco motif starts at the driveway arch and spills into the small checkerboard-floored and mirrored lobby of this tall, skinny building in the middle of International Drive mayhem."
