Gayot "Located in the community of Celebration, just minutes from the Walt Disney World theme parks, this hotel features 240 one- and two-bedroom suites."
Frommer's "Curvy-walled and cloistered, this 240-room hotel arrived on the scene in 2008 (as the Mona Lisa—her grinning image still greets guests in the lobby) and remains a peaceful, well-kept secret." Full review
Fodor's "Much like a European boutique hotel in style and service, the Meliá Orlando is very human in scale and crisply minimalist in decor, and is only minutes from Disney." Full review
OysterUpscale
"The 240-room Melia Orlando Suite Hotel at Celebration is an upscale, family-friendly, all suite hotel conveniently located near the interstate and a short drive from the Disney theme parks." Full review

A free shuttle connects guests to the theme parks, but there's an unavoidable resort fee tacked onto the room.

Concierge "The seeming isolation of the location of this 1,064-room luxury tower... lends the property an enviable natural tranquility that nearly all other Orlando mega-hotels lack."
Jetsetter "Grand statement in Central Florida with five restaurants, a lazy river and a Greg Norman-designed golf course." Full review
Lonely Planet "A sister property to the neighboring Ritz Carlton with shared facilities." Full review
OysterUpscale
"The 998-room JW Marriott is one of the most luxurious resorts in Orlando, and not just because it shares a gorgeous golf course and spa with the adjacent Ritz-Carlton." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Sharing with the Ritz Carlton its spectacular and meticulously kept grounds as well as a long list of amenities, this luxurious property is one of the finest around."
Rough Guide Star
"One of Orlando’s most luxurious hotels, this elegant building with an intimate feel and superb rooms shares the 500-acre Grande Lakes Orlando."
Star Service "In a somewhat isolated location...15 minutes east of Walt Disney World and 10 minutes south of SeaWorld, this deluxe mega-resort is Marriott's flagship in central Florida." Full review
Gayot "A few highlights include the Greg Norman-designed golf course and 40,000-square-foot spa with hydrotherapy and private lap pools."

""When you need a bit of luxury", this "posh" Spanish colonial--style resort offers a "true oasis in Orlando", from the "courteous" staffers who greet you at the "grand entrance"."
Fodor's "This hotel caters to a convention clientele, but it also has a European-style spa... and a lazy river–style pool complex, giving this lush resort family and leisure appeal." Full review
