A recent addition to the Grande Lakes resort's outdoor activities is a zipline adventure, with two separate courses to choose from, each with multilevel structures, poles, cables, platforms, and unique climbing elements.

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.
