Frommer's Review

Not to be outdone by the huge dolphins at its sister property, this high-rise Starwood resort is topped with dual 45-foot swan statues and seashell fountains. It offers a good location as it is close to Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, Fantasia Gardens, and the nightlife of the BoardWalk. While the theme doesn't scream Mickey Mouse, the decor and atmosphere are inviting, thanks in part to relatively recent upgrades and renovations that include a more contemporary decor throughout the lobby as well as the guest rooms. It shares a beach, health club, children's program, a number of restaurants, and other trimmings with the Dolphin . The best room views are from the 11th and 12th floors' Royal Beach Club, the hotel's concierge level; the beach next to the pool offers a great view of Epcot's IllumiNations fireworks. Guest rooms here are just a tad smaller than those at the neighboring Dolphin.

Facilities: 4 restaurants; grill; 2 lounges; character meals; 4 heated outdoor pools; 4 lighted tennis courts; health club; spa; watersports equipment; children's club; 2 game rooms; concierge; car-rental desk; WDW Transportation System; transportation to non-Disney parks for a fee; business center; limited Wi-Fi access (fee); shopping arcade; salon; 24-hr. room service; massage; babysitting; guest laundry; valet; concierge-level rooms

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
