    Comfy beds, lots of places to sit. Nice zero entry pool. Restaurants on premises & coffee by Starbucks, but better prices! Fruit water in the lobby. Our prom was here, so stayed to make getting ready easier. Lovely!

    Nice marble sink area.

    If you are looking for a decent resort with restaurant options, pools, golfing, and other vacation amenities close to all things Universal Studios, Rosen Shingle Creek is a solid spot with a decent price point. It's located 20 minutes from Orlando International Airport and downtown (CBD), where there are some nice bar options, and 20 to 25 minutes from Disney if you are inclined to embrace Club Mouse. I was at Rosen Shingle Creek for a conference. For the night I was there, they have a solid convention center and collection of ballrooms to accommodate a variety of different personal and business events. They have a few restaurants comprising different cuisines ranging from steak and fine dining to burgers and wings, as well as sushi and Tex-Mex. They have a coffee bar for your morning joe or tea, with various baked goods. The room featured a comfortable king-sized bed, numerous power outlets for electronic devices, a sitting area, a double-door closet, and a bathroom with a separate room for the shower and toilet. Access to the rooms, at least our wing, came from the set of elevators by the Reception area. It was an easy location. Elevators were prompt and plentiful. I didn't access the more recreational amenities, such as the pool and fitness center, for example, but the property and surroundings are lovely. The convention center is easily accessible through the main lobby floor, past the restaurant hall. There are many ballrooms and meeting rooms for both business and celebratory events, such as conferences and weddings, including the one I attended.

    I have stayed at this resort multiple times, and each experience was very enjoyable. The surroundings feature elevated Floridian style. Upon checking in most recently, we learned that some remodeling is taking place, including repaving the self-parking lot and room doors being replaced by a more natural wood variety, coordinating with the new style room keys. A shuttle shortened our trek from the farther lot, due to the paving. There's plentiful dining options. I've had brunch at the Café Osceola, splurged at A Land Remembered (definitely worth it), grabbed a quick bite at 18 Monroe Street Market, and ordered poolside from Cat-Tails. Mostly everything was rather tasty and satisfying. The staff has always been welcoming and thoroughly accommodating. If Heather is still a poolside server there, she's awesome! Hardworking and keeps you smiling. The rooms are comfy with nice decor. There's 3 pools (1 for laps, 1 for families & 1 with cabanas which is closest to the bar & grille). There's additional offerings for other recreation as well, but I'm never there for that. It's always a lovely place to attend an event, which is what usually brings me there. I know I'll gladly return in the future.

    This has been my 2nd year attending for a work event. The center is always organized and staffed well, parking is slow but easy to understand. Be warned getting in can be very very slow for busy events. Allot 220 to 30 minutes extra in and out.

    My husband and I had a wonderful mini staycation here during the holiday season! It was our first time here an we had an amazing time! The room was incredible and from our room you could see Epic Universe!! I absolutely loved all of the holiday decorations they had up both inside and on the outside of the hotel. We loved being able to walk around and get drinks from the numerous places they had inside. The pool area was super nice but we didn't go swimming because it was cold! I would definitely stay here again in the future!

    Nice golf course + restaurant. Ismar in the restaurant was awesome, great service & really solid food/drinks. Will definitely stay here in the future & play the course (only had time to practice this year).... Great facility though!

    I can't believe this hotel doesn't have more 5 star reviews. We were pleasantly shocked by how nice this resort is. We couldn't believe how great it was for the price. Beautiful lobby and grounds, great in-house restaurants, amazing banquet halls. We only stayed one night, but would love to stay again when in town. The buffet breakfast was AMAZING. So many choices. As someone who has food allergies, I was so happy I had so many things to eat!! The staff was all great, and our room was clean. Thank you! :)

    I went to Rosen to join my sister who was there for a conference. It is a beautiful hotel and the pools are super nice. I wish there was more shaded area around the pools.

    This is a beautiful property that I have enjoyed for a 5 day stay. Upon arriving to Orlando, I had to quickly pivot from my prearranged accommodations and booked Rosen Shingle Creek. The hotel is quite large with friendly staff. The rooms are nice and the common areas are beautifully decorated. I have eaten at three of the dining options, used the pool and hot tub multiple times, and I even spent a little time in the game room. I was pleased to find the array of dining options, though at times I was disappointed when a couple were unexpectedly closed. I really like the convenience of the 24 hour market that had some great food, snacks, and sundries. I will say that the parking charge is a bit steep for self parking and the distance you need to walk to get to it (due to the size of the property). However, I would absolutely recommend this hotel and I would absolutely stay here again.

    I highly recommend this location for any medium to larger conference, meeting, convention, or seminar. I was here for the National Rural Letter Carriers Association Annual meeting so I paid considerably less than the usual rates and you should consider this when weighing my review. But even at the regular rates, this luxury resort might be worth it, but I couldn't afford the regular rates. The conference discount probably works out for the hotel because they make money on guest meals, the food is expensive and if you're here for work you just have to eat on location. The meeting facilities are superb. They have enough room to run three large conferences and two medium sized ones while I was here with lots of space to spare. The audio visual and related tech is state of the art, the banquet food better than most hotel banquets. The only bottlenecks when there are a lot of conferences going on is that when the big conferences break the elevator banks and restaurants get overwhelmed. There's only one coffee place and that might be the very worst thing about the conference. The rooms have Kuerigs, which as most of you know is terrible coffee so the next time I'm here I'm bringing a small hot water heater, a French coffee press, and my own good coffee. And a thermos to take coffee to the conference rooms which are a long walk from the hotel rooms, this resort is vast. The resort isn't served well by public transportation, but actually the entire Orlando area isn't served well by public transportation, you'll have to Uber or Lyft in and out. Daily valet parking charges are an arm and a bloody leg. The grounds are expansive, it takes maybe 10 minutes on the most direct route walking from the lobby to the front gate, but across from the gate is a Publix supermarket, a good take out Chinese restaurant, a bad chain pizza place, a Chipotle where you probably won't get food poisoning, a Subway. On a map it looks easy, but in Florida August weather there's either a brutal tropical sun beating down on you or a tropical storm in the afternoon. Service is quite good, from check in to housekeeping, but the various restaurants are overpriced with mostly mediocre food choices. Room service is about the same price as the restaurants and the clam chowder is pretty good. There's a fee to use the exercise room, your best deal is the fee that covers your entire stay rather than the daily rate. There's a lap pool in addition to two recreational swimming pools, but they all get too hot for comfort in Florida August. The golf course is splendid. If you're a reader, and there are plenty of comfortable places to sit and read inside and out on the grounds, you need to bring books or a Kindle, there's no bookstore (good or bad, used or new) anywhere near and unlike the other Rosen properties there isn't a lending library. I guess hardly anyone reads anymore, when I asked the otherwise very knowledgeable and helpful concierge desk, they couldn't get the concept of a hotel having books to borrow or newspapers. I guess I'm a mastodon in a world of elephants. One of the nice touches is a big roomy cage full of finches in the central lobby.

    This is a really big and nice hotel. So many restaurants, bars, shopping and coffee shops. The lobby area is big. There is a fireplaces and lots of chairs around that are comfortable. You can work or sit and talk. There are so many banquet rooms for a convention. The property has a golf course. Everyone here is very nice and helpful from the moment you drive to the gate. The rooms are nice. We had a double queen room. It's spacious. The beds are comfortable. Plenty of room in the bathroom/dressing area. Every employee ask if you need help with anything. Staff is fantastic.

    I am here for a conference and this resort has exceeded my expectations. First, beautiful property, clean, peaceful, excellent gym & spa, nature trail for a morning walk was lovely. What took me over the top was food! Yes, the food at this conference was delicious- chicken the first day was not dry, perfectly cooked with delicious spices and vegetables. They grown their own vegetables on the property. The fish was also perfectly cooked. Next day we had a mexican Spanish lunch the shredded beef was outstanding- tender and loved the flavors. Everyone at this conference has been raving about the food. Probably the first time I have ever attended a conference in 30 yrs that has great food. The staff has been outstanding, kind, helpful, going out of their way to ensure you enjoy your experience on the property. I have to say to the entire team who serves breakfast on the ground level- thank you & keep on being amazing.

    Regular single-cup brewing coffee maker. Nothing fancy, and not very good.

    What is the largest size milk container the room refrigerator can hold?

    It's a standard hotel refrigerator. I'd say 16oz bottles would work fine. Call the hotel, I'm sure they could give you a better answer.

    Do double queen rooms have microwaves or refrigerator?

    Refrigerators yes, microwave no. You can request a room with these when you make your reservation.

    Well, this hotel was fabulous. I literally only have two small-ish negative things to say, and it…read moreprobably doesn't affect everyone. PRO's: -Nicely sized rooms - not huge, but not small either. I was assigned to a room with two queen beds, but it was just me, so I had an extra bed to put luggage, etc. on. -HUGE bathrooms, including a separate shower and separate bathtub, and nice amenties. -Excellent customer service - I had some ice packs I needed them to hold on to, in their freezer, and they were able to do that at the bell hop desk for me. -Ridiculously nice pool area - I was staying here for a conference and brought a swimsuit just in case, but as soon as I got to my room the first day - which they upgraded me, to a pool/lake room view, even though I don't have status with Marriott - I knew I had to try out the pool and waterslides. Luckily I had a spare hour before my conference started so I literally ate lunch and then jumped on a water slide, ha. ----There are three water slides: one you require an inner tube for, and the other two you just lay back while on it. CONs: -The area between the toilet and the toilet paper roll is super small. I am not a small person so this is probably why I had an issue, but I ended up just taking the toilet paper off the roll, because it kept hitting my thighs when I unrolled it. -The shower has a handheld area you can use or just the regular shower top (? I forget the name for that). The regular top doesn't have great water pressure, so I ended up using the handheld thing and just keeping it pointed towards me. They have a sign up in the lobby saying that Forbes chose them as one of the nicest properties in the world, I believe, and I can see why. They also have a few restaurants on site, as well as a Starbucks, but most of my meals were included at my conference; I did get Doordash the first day I was there, though. Be aware that for the Starbucks you cannot order ahead on the app, though, and the lines are often long (especially with conferences going on, and there were two while I was staying there, including ours!). I would definitely stay at this hotel again - I wasn't paying for the bill this time but I believe it is rather pricey normally, though.

    The JW Marriott definitely looks and feels like a high-end property. The hotel is polished,…read moreattractive, and has the upscale atmosphere you expect from the brand. That said, the price point is definitely on the high side, so expectations naturally go up with it. For me, the biggest disconnect was the service level, which felt more fair than exceptional. Nothing was terrible, but it did not really match the luxury pricing or the overall image of the property. When you are paying premium rates, you expect service that stands out, and this felt a little more average than memorable. Overall, it is a nice hotel, but at this price level I was hoping for a stronger service experience.

Nice and firm for a get night rest or a nap after being at the pool side for a few hours. Walk in closet big bathroom ,living room was cool as well. The rooms give you that old 1960 vibes with a modern touch. The resort also featured some old vintage 1960 cars similar to the TWA hotel at jfk airport. The resort had some nice places to go to. Me and my wife enjoyed the bowling alley. We had a lot of fun. Don't forget about the shops with all your favorite carton characters t shirts hats slippers you name it Star Wars, the minions the Simpsons fun for kids all ages. We also enjoyed the cabana cafeteria . I had a spicy chicken sandwich with fries my wife had chicken teriyaki lomein full of nice pieces of chicken ,Which she enjoyed .I also had some chicken tenders and fries from the cafeteria on our stay. We also ordered food from door dash while we were in the main lobby. We ordered shake shack which was cheaper ordering from door dash then buying food on the resort, smash burgers well done with cheese fries, for a little vacation cheat because I'm on a diet. By the way the order came really fast. Don The pool was great especially at night the view was amazing. With the lights shining on the pool and the really nice fire pit they had so you can even roast some marshmallows by it. Also the pool features a water slide for kids and adults. The blow up rafts were $9to17. You also could bring your own as well. You also had an ice machine with cold water free. Plus you had the soft drinks and soda all you can drink for $30 . That was the drink packed. Cabana bay resort also had a restaurant right next the pool outside. Where they had some really good chicken quesadillas with fries. My wife enjoyed that. . I went with the chicken wrap with lettuce and some veggies, It was great to eat pool side with the beach chairs equipped with the big umbrella for shade . Then you also had the lazy river at the resort. That featured a bigger water slide and pool . Bigger than the pool outside the main lobby. The staff was courteous and friendly the stay was fun. Just remember it's kinda pricey . But don't forget about all the theme parks you get to visit for $80 each way .

    Stayed here last weekend for a long Memorial Day weekend. The hotel and pools are pretty nice -…read morekind of a 50s/60s vibe, though, the pool area was quite loud and crowded - couldn't help but hear other people's expletive-ridden drunk conversations while I watched my kids swim. The food: the bowling alley is probably one of the best food options on site (other than the Starbucks) - the salad there was actually quite good and not crazy expensive (though, everything is expensive). We also enjoyed milkshakes from the malt shop. The room was fine - we had a suite with a little kitchenette and it was spacious enough for a few days. **My only real complaint (and the reason for my lower review) was the quality of the furniture. My daughter was leaning against one of the end tables to plug something in on the other side the night before we were hitting Epic Universe early, and it collapsed below her. She fell on top of it and some portion of it punctured her leg (we think a metal pin that was poking out from one of the broken legs). We contacted hotel management, and they came with hotel security who did some basic first aid and took away the broken tables (the other one also broke from her fall). We're grateful she wasn't injured more seriously (at least that we know of yet), but it could have been so much worse if that pin had punctured a more delicate area of her body. It also definitely made the next day at the park a lot harder for her with leg pain, etc. They really need to upgrade/inspect the furniture to make sure it's safe for guests.

The hotel grounds around the property are serene and have a calming quality. 10/10 Definitely recommend this stay cation

    Good location, great price for a Disney deluxe…read more This hotel is a Magic Kingdom area hotel but you have to take a boat. However, after MK fireworks, the boat is infinitely faster than the monorail to the TTC. So if you're here for fireworks and want a hotel that's easy to get to but cheaper than the monorail hotels, this is for you. The theming is also beautiful. It reminds me of Animal Kingdom Lodge in the richness of the theming. There's a 9 am tour of the resort to learn about the art. I didn't take it but that tells you how much amazing art there is. There is a splash pad and two pools. Pretty standard for a Disney resort. The rooms are beautiful and if you're lucky you will have a view of the castle and can watch the fireworks from your room. We stood off floor 6 and watched from a hotel window. It was pretty epic. Even rope dropping the boat was pretty quick and not super busy. It actually is a pretty convenient mode of transportation. I would definitely stay here again.

First, $30 per day for parking when we are staying there for a week is pretty ridiculous. Additionally, the $10 breakfast sandwiches they have in their marketplace are $0.50 Jimmy Dean sandwiches that they just decide to rip people off with. Just to name a few. Your "welcome gift" is just an invitation to sit through a high pressure sales pitch for time share purchase. Comes with a gift card, but not worth it in all honesty. Facilities: Nice, but mildly dated. Pool was overcrowded, but nothing we can do about that. An adults only pool would be nice. Food quality at Pavilion is pretty craptastic for the prices. Overall, meh. Down the street at Sheraton Vistana we had a much better experience with previously (minus their sales pitches), plus their facilities are much nicer. Probably wont be back here again.

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.

The resort was easy to navigate, and there were no shortages of dining options. The room was gorgeous and had some thoughtful touches that I appreciated, including pillow spray, a clothes steamer, and even a weighted blanket. It's the little things that make a work trip feel a bit more like a vacation. My biggest complaint? The gym was about the size of my thumbnail. Thankfully, it still managed to squeeze in everything I needed for a solid workout, so I can't complain too much. The conference food was good, though nothing particularly memorable. The late-night food offerings, however, were a welcome surprise and definitely earned bonus points. This is a fantastic property for hosting large corporate meetings and events. The staff was friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. They did have to move some activities indoors due to weather, but everything seemed to be handled smoothly. Overall, a great resort that balances business and leisure well.

There's a lot to love about this resort. The jogging trail and overall scenery are genuinely beautiful and make it feel like a relaxing escape after long park days. The freestyle soda machines were a nice perk, and the food quality exceeded expectations--it felt thoughtfully prepared rather than typical cafeteria-style resort food. Our room was very clean, which always makes a big difference, and the variety of transportation options to the parks was convenient and flexible. For what we paid, the value felt fair, especially considering the amenities. The pool area was also a highlight, and throughout our stay, the employees were consistently professional and helpful. The on-site laundry room was another underrated bonus--it made it easy to head home without a pile of laundry waiting. That said, there were a few drawbacks. We did notice gnats occasionally making their way into the room, which was frustrating. Transportation to Magic Kingdom in particular was inconsistent--the bus took a long time and caused us to miss early entry one morning. One bus driver interaction also stood out, as we were repeatedly corrected about our stroller not being "fully folded" (even though it was), along with strict direction on where we could stand or sit. Additionally, depending on your room location, the walk to Centertown Market can be quite long and inconvenient. The resort is also a bit far from any off-property convenience stores if you need to grab last-minute items, and the lack of a fitness center may be a downside for some guests. Overall, despite a few inconveniences, this was a fun and enjoyable place to stay. The positives definitely outweighed the negatives, and I would recommend it--and would stay here again.

When a vacation room has a door that faces the outside of the property I defined that as a motel and so that perception was immediately disappointing. We also experienced a lot of bugs coming in and out of the room and since you weren't in an interior space, traditional to a hotel, it contributed to having to walk through them. The resort is big in the pool area was nice. Getting from our room to the common area with food and gift shops seemed quite a distance, especially for us with a younger family. Travel to and from the park was convenient, although like any resort, very busy during peak times. Having visited other Disney resorts and resorts outside of the park, we would no longer choose to stay at the Caribbean beach resort.
