DK Eyewitness "The setting resembles that of the great national parks of the Northwest, with towering pines, a spewing geyser, and rough rocky terrain surrounding a spectacular pool."
Rough Guide Star

"This 1,000-room Hilton is an oasis of adult calm amid frenetic child-centric Disney World -- literally, as it's actually within the gates of Disney." Full review
Travel + Leisure "While most guests book their stay at Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek to visit neighboring Disney World, anywhere else, the hotel would be a destination unto itself." Full review

Lonely PlanetTop choice
"Surrounded by Walt Disney World and boasting a big pool with a lazy river and a slide, this quintessential full-service resort makes an excellent alternative to comparable resorts on Disney property." Full review
