(This review is for 5024 shoreway loop #103.) I see several vista cay yelp pages so im a bit…read moreconfused. I will just add my review here to this page. We recently stayed in orlando and needed more room than a hotel room. It was spring break for my last 2 youngins. We stayed on vista cay resort property. We rented out a very nice, spacious 3 bedroom. Looking at the reviews made me skeptical. I had to see it for myself. Each apartment unit is different. The property is gated with passcode access. The grounds were well maintained and that was a good start. Once we entered the apartment it was just right for us with plenty of room. The entire apartment was nicely decorated with flatscreen tvs with cable channels in every room plus living area. Kitchen also had all the appliances, dishes for cooking if you would like. There was also a pool table to shoot pool for entertainment in the front room. My boys enjoyed that. Throughout the night it was very peaceful. No noise or any night disturbances from the neighbors. There is a very nice lake to walk around with plenty of parking near each apartment. I will definitely rent through milllenium properties in any state i visit that they have rentals in.

Great property and great customer service. We stayed for the most recent golf trade show…read more Spectacular service and home.

I loved the how to train your Dragon suite…read more I underestimated how much I would love this room. I watched videos and saw pictures of what it looked like, but I don't feel like it really does it justice. Part of me wishes that we sprung for the park view, but the price was about double then the standard how to train your Dragon suite, so I couldn't justify paying for that. However, what was surprising was the weekend we went how to train your Dragon suite was just slightly more than a standard room with Park views. I absolutely believe if you're traveling with young children. It is worth giving up that park view to have this suite. Supposedly there are only 14 in the entire hotel which surprise me, so you do want to book it early because they sell out. What made this room so special to me is the fact that the kids had their own room that were fully how to train your Dragon themed. We watched the movie right before going so they would get excited again. The beds are beautiful and they enjoyed the mural behind them. If you're worried about your kids having a TV in their room, it turns out that there is one remote control for all three TVs so I just took the remote control with me. There's also a sitting room which was great because then my husband could watch the soccer matches while both myself and the kids slept and then a bedroom for the parents. You get a separate bathroom as well so it feels like a lot of space. There are tablets in every single room where you can control the lights order food and learn more about the hotel. The hotel itself is stunning. I'm surprised by the lack of food options though, we went to bar Helios one night and it was amazing. They do have a kids menu that they don't advertise online. The major perk of this hotel is the entrance to the park. They opened line to get in at 8 AM which was an hour before early entry. Honestly, I think we could've gotten a little later because then you were stuck waiting in the sun outside for early entry. If you are trying to rope drop Ministry of magic this is definitely the hotel for you. You are right next to the ministry of magic land. Later in the day when my son came back for a nap and we wanted to go see the mystery magic show. It took us five minutes from leaving our room to getting to Ministry of magic. It's that fast. Especially because later in the day there is absolutely no one going through the security. The pool is OK. I do prefer Disney pools with their splash pads, but this one was nice enough and they do have people that come and take your order. The food was much better than any Disney resort we've stayed at. We were able to check in at noon and surprisingly our room was ready. I appreciate that parking is all parking garage so your car stays cool and also it is right next to the hotel so you don't have to walk far to bring in your luggage. Overall, we loved our stay here and if we ever come back to epic universe, I would stay here again.

This hotel is the premium hotel at Universal Epic. It has its own private entrance to the park…read more I had three rooms at this hotel; one good thing was early admission and tickets to the park. If you wanted a fast pass, more dollars. The room came with two beds, a fridge, and a TV. I have stayed in high-end hotels before; the room in this hotel was small. My wife and I are not big-time, long-time getting-ready people. I found it funny that we kept bumping into each other while getting dressed for the day. Of note in the room. They have a switch that turns on all the lights. They have a switch to open and close the sheers and drapes. We did not have a view of the park; we had a view of the city. However, they had a massive fireworks display on our last night, right outside our room. Cool!

Just a magical place to stay. We will be back! Until then, mi famiglia. Liz&LukeLovingLife

Pulling up to Portofino was a very exciting moment! It does look like a little town on a European…read morebay. The grand entrance for drop-off reminded me a bit of medieval times! It'd Italian, I know, but it's also constructed by Americans, right? So to me it was a mix of Italian, but also kitsch. Entering the lobby area, I had a similar feeling. Ornate, grand, but slightly gaudy. It kind of reminded me a Real Housewives circa 2011. Definitely unique to Universal properties, but also a tiny bit dark. There was a bit of a wait at check-in but the staff was on it! So many different needs and questions, and they handled it all. Kelly checked me in and she was awesome. I loved her authenticity, helpfulness, and honestly, she really reset my energy after a long trip in. I didn't get into my room until around 4:15pm. I did request a room in a the West wing, and would probably skip asking for that in the future if the wait will be so much longer. I didn't get to try the restaurants I wanted, I was just so tired. Sal's deli and service was really cute, though! But I wasn't crazy about the sandwich (for another review). The winner in Portofino for me? The pools. I really, really loved the quieter pool away from the big pool with the slide. Now that truly felt like I was not in Orlando. The slide in the other pool is fun! The energy is high, playing top 40 hits and such. Great for kids. But the other pool? Playing old school italian music, with mostly adults, and a true villa feel. I think I would go again with family just for the pool. Though finding your way around can lead you to many stairs and a bit of a "maze" feeling. That part did feel authentically Italian, though! Ha.

Property: 8997 Rhodes St It truly bothers me to have to…read morewrite this review, but here goes... I've rented this house 4 times now, and I will say it has really gone down since my last stay. -The carpet needs to come up, it's beyond cleaning. -The walls need a fresh coat of paint or either a good cleaning. -The pool needs to be cleaned. - The patio needs to be pressure washed, as well as the weeds pulled up. -We ran into roaches(German, the smaller roaches) during our stay as well. I picked up bug spray, but still....and yes I know this is Florida, but bear in mind, I live in coastal SC, so I know the difference between a nasty roach and a common cockroach(palmetto bug/waterbug). These roaches, found upstairs and down. - The living room set needs to be replaced. Overall, I think it's time for a good revamp on this property. There once was a time when our stay was super comfortable, but this time we were left feeling uneasy about our stay. The house is very stocked with cooking essentials, pool towels, and bath linens. The travel size bath sets were a nice touch! As well as the casiola tote and cookies!! While we did appreciate the opportunity to occupy this rental again, I know for certain for our trip in August, we won't consider this rental. We are still very pleased with Casiola, just not this particular rental. The communication was open, they were prompt with a service call, and accommodating with early check in. I hope the owner sees this review and decides to make necessary changes to make this rental more enjoyable for guests.

We had an amazing stay place was easy to find great if you have small children or even teenage…read morechildren. There were a tremendous amount of things to do nearby or 30 minutes down the road. The only thing that we would complain about is the noisy neighbors that we had and we had issues with the gates, not working other than that five stars. There are also a lot of things kept at the house for if you have small children, such as highchair pack, and play stroller would recommend to bring your own baby gate. We bought one once we got there and realized that the Main bedroom was upstairs to keep our five year-old from going downstairs by herself. Also, the pool has a net gate all the way around that makes it impossible for kids to get in the pool by themselves, which is great. All in all we had an amazing time and would Rent again!

While visiting Universal, we stayed at La Quinta for 2 nights. The ladies at check in were amazing!…read moreWe had to speak with them multiple times for random things and they were very helpful. There are multiple buildings and we stayed in building 2. It was quiet even though close to the highway and a very short walk to building 1 where breakfast is served. Breakfast has very little and kind of lacking, but it is good for what you pay. Our room was extremely clean and the bed was comfortable. No complaints! I wouldn't hesitate to book again for the Great price.

This is a relatively inexpensive hotel that's very near to Universal Studios. Our 2-queen room…read moreseemed clean, but was quite dark even with all the lights on. There are 3 hotel buildings; it looks like 2 were added on after the first. The unfortunate effect is that rooms facing another building (as ours did) are dark. The luggage carts available in front of the lobby have brakes, an excellent feature I've rarely seen elsewhere. The elevator was quite slow. There was a single nightstand between the beds in our room, which is a pet peeve of mine because we both like to keep water at bedside. The 27" no-name TV was very small by today's standards, and the remote control worked poorly. The room was particularly noisy in the early morning hours from the freeway directly behind the hotel. The bathroom was adequate, and there was no skimping on towels. A plus was the Dove-branded dispenser bottles in the tub shower. Breakfast requires a paper voucher, and there was a "security" person (actually 2 of them) checking, in addition to the attendant wiping tables. The food was not particularly good, but no worse than other places at this and even higher price points. Table space was very limited, almost impossibly so on the weekend. I felt as if vultures were watching over me as I ate, waiting to pounce on the table. It appears as if people in the area try to sneak in the front door for a freebie breakfast. I wish I could have told the ones I saw that it wasn't worth it. We booked this hotel because of undeserved good reviews. If we are again in the area, we will not stay at this place.
