    Our view. And this was a "premium" back on site.
    Crazy L.

    We stayed 10 days in our camper. On a positive it's convenient to theme parks. That's all. The park is overpriced and in need of repairs. Lots of trash around, cottages have been removed leaving pipes and wires protruding from concrete. Some cottages have really been neglected adding to the sketchy vibe of the place. There's spotlights on accents that aren't there. We tried to enjoy a poolside band but the smell of trash was too much. The bathhouse was clean and the laundry facilities were also. The dog park was over grown and neglected. I would not stay here again. We have prepaid and left early. Some gates are unlocked allowing anyone in on the old town side. We had stayed here years ago and enjoyed it. It's definitely got a different vibe now. Never again.

    My children playing in the pool

    We were planning to take our kids to a couple of the amusement parks and were looking for a place to stay that wasn't far from the parks. We discovered tropical palms and loved the amenities! We got the 3 bedroom cottage and it was perfect! We loved the pool, mini golf, and the staff is amazing! From the time we checked in, until the day we left, they checked on us, they even sent us activity events and made sure we were all having a great time! The park was safe clean and exceeded our expectations!! Nicki-jo in the front office is amazing! The housekeeping staff was super friendly and everyone made us feel secure and welcome! We'll definitely be back!! Our kids even wanted to leave Aquatica early just to go back and hang out at the resort! Can't wait to see everyone again on our kids next school break!

    This is not my typical choice of accommodations but I booked a standard cottage for 2 nights, because this place was on sale plus I had a coupon code for a particular hotel booking website. As you can see in the pictures I uploaded, our cottage came with an upgraded kitchen. Carpets need to be renewed or replaced to hard wood flooring. Bathroom sink was okay but the shower stall was old. There is a bedroom with a queen size bed. Plus there are one double size air mattress and queen size mattress in the loft, and queen size sofa bed in the living room. Needless to say, the beds are not comfy. But hey it accommodates 7 people! If you have a large family, and are planning to stay long on a budget, Tropical Palms would be a great choice.

    We stayed at this place while we went to Hollywood Studios. The staff and guest were very friendly. There were so many activities for the kids to do. Only about 10 minutes from Disney. We loved our cute cottage. They may look small but it was perfect. We had a family of 10 and this accommodated is very well!

    The interior of the three bedroom cabin. Everything is clean and comfortable enough for a family of six.

    I love this place. I go every year with my kids and we always have a wonderful time. Last time I rented a three bedroom cabin and it was enough for the six of us. The kitchen is comfortable and well equipped and the unit is always very clean. Just one bathroom but the resort has enough showers and public restrooms. The clubhouse is cozy and has a little convenient store with snacks and beverages. They also have a game room with a pool table and board games to enjoy quality time with the family. It's just ten minutes away from Disney and definitely the price is really good. The staff is super friendly.

    So I have been reading the reviews here and yes, they have a hard check-in ban of 10pm ,as they called it their quiet time. They will not let your rig into the park and you have to sleep outside the gate till the morning. That was a weird as hell rule, but it is a rule they made very clear to me. Security is inconsistent. I was able to go in and out by showing my pass, but then I have another guard ask for my ID for no real reason. There seems to be no protocol. Regarding Checkin, we did the online version but it honestly seems pointless as you still have to go inside the office to get documents and pay. The sites are fine, we had premium pull though. Not many trees but everything is well manicured. Sites are level. WiFi is not free, which was disappointing. The location is why this park will always be successful- you are minutes away from the parks. It is hugely convenient. So yeah, you have to deal with some quirks but not a bad place.

    Clean bathrooms. Most days you didn't have to wait for the showers. I would go back again- it was close enough to the major theme parks.

    Updated Review - After 3 Years Living Here…read more After living here for 3 years, here's my honest experience. Pros: * Large large RV lots compared to most parks. * When you pay the whole yearly rent, it's cheaper. * Some staff work very hard, especially the maintenance lady who is regularly trimming trees, clearing brush, edging, and cleaning the grounds. Cons: * Management plays favorites. Rules are enforced differently depending on who you are. Some residents are limited to 2-3 pets while others are allowed to have several animals. * The park seems to come alive only when the owners visit. Suddenly everyone is wearing matching shirts and doing work that should have been done all along. * The lawn maintenance is comically done. The mower spends weeks mowing random sections instead of finishing whole yards. * They continue removing lots of landscaping. Yes, the sites look bigger, but all the privacy, shade, and wildlife are disappearing. * The volleyball court has maybe used once in 3 years. It's basically a litter box for strays. * Mail security has been an issue. I had mail disappear early on, and during my last 6 months someone repeatedly opened my magazines and advertising mail before it reached me. Management was notified, but didn't attempt to solve the problems. * They've been saying a swimming pool is coming for 4 years now. At this point, I don't believe it's ever happening. * The park keeps expanding by adding more RV sites (around 190 more planned) instead of improving amenities for current residents. * Activities are very very limited outside of a few holidays. * One office employee was often rude to residents, making negative comments about how people dressed and creating unnecessary conflict with people she didn't seem to like. * There's a $25 monthly utility charge added to the electric bill. Management says it's because people flush blankets down RV toilets, which doesn't make much sense considering RV waste first goes into holding tanks and the plumbing is only a few inches wide. * One thing to know, 85% of residents use the neighboring Cypress Cove family nudist resort for amenities because it offers pools, restaurants, activities, and recreation that this park doesn't have. This park has become more of a place to park your RV while spending time next door. Bottom line: This park has potential because of its large lots and location, but inconsistent rule enforcement, broken promises, questionable fees, and lack of meaningful improvements make it difficult for me to recommend after living here for three years. It was livable because we left on a bunch of trips yearly and did not stay home.

    We came up for Universal and only stayed 3 nights…read more The first night we got in at almost 10pm and the office had a packer with our last name by the door with campsite # and other info. We were parked pretty close to the beginning of park and it was easy to get in and out. We were gone from 7/8 am and didn't return until late however on my last morning I drove around to use the bathroom and find a dumpster. The bathroom has a code so I had to call my husband to go through the packet we got. The bathroom is pretty far into the park so I can't imagine the need for a coded lock. It's not like you can walk off the street and use it. The bathrooms did look like they were just redone. There were also cars parked in front of bathrooms but no one was in the bathroom so I assume people park there if no extra room on their site. As I drove around it is clear that many people are permanent residents and some sites are definitely an eyesore. Being what we needed it for it worked for us but if I was a family trying to enjoy the outdoors I am not sure this is the park you want to stay at. Security was constantly driving around which was nice and anyone we spoke to was super nice.

    Horrible experience. We arrived late after having made a reservation by phone earlier the same day…read more 1) Our spot was taken 2) we could not access the bathrooms (code required which we did not receive by phone or email) 3) the emergency number didn't work.

    I've paddled the Emerald Cut a few times now. Initially I didn't like the idea of paying to launch…read moremy own paddleboard. However, it's only $10 now that I have my own life jacket (saving me additional cost of $5 to use one of theirs, as required). Well worth the low cost for some soul-enriching, communing with nature. I have never made a reservation. I normally arrive around 10:30, most recently on a Friday. Parked for free on Baptist Camp Rd. Just a bit of a walk from there with my inflated paddleboard, but I don't mind the extra exercise. You can unload your stuff closer, if preferable. There are port-a-potties available. You can count on there being a line in the check-in office. Various recreation supplies are available there for purchase. The process moves reasonably enough. A reservation will guarantee your entrance, however, and possibly aide quicker personal info collection. I always plan to do the Emerald Cut in roughly 3 hours round-trip, allowing myself several stops to enjoy the surroundings. You do run into (quite literally at times) novice paddlers along the way, which can be a bit tricky, yet not a real nuisance for me. In general, there's friendliness along the waterway. Slighty rowdy, party vibes in some spots, but also opportunities for solace and zen in various nooks. Encountering wildlife, fragrant elderberry, and other captivating flora along this stretch is always gratifying. It's a popular recreation destination for good reason.

My Hubby and I love kayaking, so we booked an excursion months in advance for Rock Springs through TripAdvisor. Our Tour Operator was Get Up And Go Kayaking located at Kings Landing in Apopka, FL. I LOVE saying Apopka ;) The good news: Apopka is a quick 1 hour drive from Orlando. Make sure you don't miss the turn to King's Landing, because the entrance is located on a narrow dirt road. You must drive past Kelly Park (which fills up fast). There is a Park Ranger located here who will guide you to King's Landing. As you get closer and if you see a parking spot, grab it! Check in is located in the Cabin like office where you will have to sign a waiver. If you do not want to take a clear bottom, guided Kayak tour, you can either rent or BYO Kayak versus taking a semi private, clear, guided kayak tour. NOTE: ONLY use their Sunscreen/lotion which is provided at no cost. It protects the wildlife and the Springs. We wanted the full experience as we have previously enjoyed renting clear Kayaks. Our guide for the morning was: Megan, who was fantastic! Full of energy, information and helpful tidbits about the Springs and its human and wildlife inhabitants. Our group was small and capped at 10. We paddled through both narrow and open stretches, and stopped to swim in the warm, crystal-clear water. One highlight was a banyan tree with an 8-foot natural "jump hole"--such a cool experience! It was a serene, memorable day, and fun fact: this is the very spring featured in the Visit Orlando commercials! Yeah, definitely take a day away from crowded Orlando to relax and enjoy Mother Nature! You will Thank Me ;)

Being from a place where the fair and rodeo is the big event of the year that draws in everyone from the local tri-state area Silver Spurs arena has a lot to learn. The parking was horrendous, thank God we didn't drive, there was no designated Uber or Lift pickup or drop off spots, there was no direction from staff or security in what direction to go, only screaming when you went the wrong way. I had to tell a security guard who was screaming at a crowd of 100+ people trying to leave that it wasn't helpful if you only yell "you're going the wrong way" and don't follow up with direction to where you want us to go. I see this this has been a reoccurring issue for years. I can't imagine what next weekend would be like. Hopefully they consider hiring a 3rd party to help plan a better settup in the future.
