The hotel

With spacious apartments that are up to 5 times the size of your average Orlando hotel room, this resort is perfect for families and groups alike. The Sufari water park is an attraction in it’s own right, complete with water slides and a lazy river, and there's also a huge indoor entertainment centre with arcade games and glow in the dark mini golf - the kids won’t know where to start! The resort feels secluded and self-contained, but you’re just 10 minutes from Walt Disney World, with a complimentary shuttle bus included to take you to the door and back.

The experience we had with Eric and Jax on the Flowrider wave was wonderful. They are very good teachers, with a lot of patience and warmth in their attention. I recommend them 100%. We will definitely spend the holidays here again. Thanks eric and Jax.

Kids had an epic time with Eric on the flowrider. He was very patient and helped my 5 and 7 year old boys for their first experience. Now I have to add more characters to post this review, which is really really really really really really silly.

We rented chairs at the waterpark for a very reasonable cost for the day in full sun. Had great service all day from Shavar very attentive and personable. Husband & Kids 9 and 7 did the flowrider experience. Eric was super helpful with the kids riding with them and on a separate board until they got the hang of it. Great day!!!

Had a great time at the flow rider with Eric! He was a great host and is good at what he does! Definitely a great highlight of the trip with the family. Eric was very friendly and helped with any needs we had at the flow-rider. Very impressed with the resort and the things to do here.

We visited the Grove on the 13th December, we have visited the area around Disney and Universal a few times and stayed at different places. The Grove on first thoughts on the drive down the entrance road was, it is well kept, lots of nice boarders, trees and grass areas. The reception was well looked after and welcoming, the place was huge! With shop, take away and restaurant. It also had a water park, arcade and activities. We had a 3 bed apartment with 2 bath rooms, Kitchen, living area and laundry room. After learning how the hotel operates re-house keeping (which is the only criticism?) and I mean, up keep. As it was an apartment we cleaned as we went. It was spacious and comfortable and modern. It was great with a family of 5. The drive to the amusement parks was quite spread between the two Disney and universal. It was quiet in the evening, which was brilliant after walking around the parks all day, when the kids were tired. Read less
