Buena Vista Palace Resort

Frommer's Review

This hotel is the most upscale of the Hotel Plaza Boulevard-area properties and is popular with leisure travelers, though business people still make up 75% of its guests. For that reason, some of the best rates are offered in July and August, contrary to the mainstream tourist resorts. Many of the upscale business-standard rooms have balconies or patios; ask for one above the fifth floor with a "recreation view." That's the side facing the pools on Recreation Island, Downtown Disney, and, in the distance, Disney-MGM Studios' Tower of Terror. The "Epcot view" offers views of the IllumiNations fireworks but little else. The resort is known for its spacious fitness center and full-service European-style spa (massage, wraps, steam room, saunas, salon, fitness center, and more), which are open to the public. The recreational facilities are extensive and one of the resort's pools is situated partially indoors, providing cover from sun and rain.

Facilities:3 restaurants; grill; 4 lounges; 3 heated outdoor pools; kids' pool; tennis; spa; Jacuzzi; sauna; arcade; playground; concierge; car-rental desk; complimentary bus service to WDW parks; transportation to non-Disney parks for a fee; business center; minimarket; salon; 24-hr. room service; massage; babysitting; guest laundry; concierge-level rooms; valet.

In rooms:A/C, TV w/pay movies, dataport, high-speed and limited Wi-Fi Internet access (fee), minibar, fridge (suites), coffeemaker, hair dryer, iron, safe, PlayStation.
