Virgin rating

The hotel

When you’re booking a trip to the theme parks in Orlando, you don’t imagine that you’d be able to find a haven of relaxation and luxury right in the centre – well here it is. The JW Marriott Orlando Bonnet Creek Resort & Spa sits within the gates of Walt Disney World Resort, with a shuttle service taking you to the park gates in no time at all. The action is right around you, but when you step into the resort you’l find yourself in a 75-acre protected oasis where you can recuperate. The rooms have a sleek, sophisticated design, with ample space in the family suites for larger groups. And from the family suite accommodations to the rock climbing, garden golf, and the activity schedule at the kids club, there’s always something to keep the little ones entertained, rain or shine, whatever their hobbies. Whilst they’re occupied in resort, be sure to visit the spa by JW, inspired by the rejuvenating warmth of the ‘Sunshine State’, these treatments will have you feeling your best in no time. Disney Springs is just 5 miles away, with its wide variety of restaurants and bars on offer, but the JW Marriott have plenty of their own to save you the trip on those tired evenings. illume is a particular favourite for guests, located on the 9th floor, giving you a great vantage point for the Disney fireworks whilst enjoying Asian inspired tapas and fresh sushi. For those chilled poolside afternoons, check out the happy hour at Unreserved Beer Garden, where you can enjoy a range of craft beers or a chilled glass of rose in the late afternoon sun.

I have stayed at this property about 10 times since it opened. This is a special place and is a great location if you want to be in the vicinity of Disney without staying at a place that is themed around Disney. There are some things I really like about this property: Adults Only Pool - This amenity is great and the staff takes delicate attention to making sure if kids wander over, the politely find their way back to the family pool side. Breakfast Buffet - Amazing! We love this and think it is completely worth it! So much so that we have stayed at Magic Kingdom Resorts and come to the JW for Breakfast! They will validate your parking if you come for breakfast! Turn down service - We just got this for the first time this trip. The chocolates were nice. It was appreciated after being gone all day. Spa - We LOVE the spa!!!! It’s such a relaxing place. I’ve had two pedicures by Marwi and they are the best pedicures I’ve ever had. Getting a spa services gives you the amenities of the spa - completely worth it! Only Struggle: We have been 3 times to the JW since April and twice our room wasn’t ready and we arrived after 4pm both times. The first time, we were offered a credit, which we appreciated. However, this time, we were not. Also, as someone with Marriott status, you have to ask for your late check out - it used to be offered but now, you just request. Read less

We had a lovely 3-night stay at this property and specifically selected this resort so that we would not need to leave the property for the duration of our stay. This resort had exactly what we were looking for - spa, bar, restaurants, pool, and nice accommodations. I would not hesitate to stay at here again and recommend as a very nice option when there are so many in the Orlando area. A few notable comments: Staff: All of the staff we encountered were extremely pleasant, helpful, and seemed happy to be there. Josh at the reception desk answered our many questions and seemed knowledgeable and eager to ensure our questions were addressed. Lyndsey at the lobby bar spent time with us discussing drinks, various types and flavors of the wide range of gins available, and overall provided great service. Rooms: Our room was very clean, spacious, and well appointed. We appreciated the daily housekeeping, which seems to be hit or miss in other hotels visited in recent years. We really appreciated the amount of counter space space available for our things, and the large fridge was a huge bonus and not something we expected, but were very pleased with as we brought in beverages for the room. Our only complaint was the irregularity of the air conditioning. It seemed to run and get the room nice and cool and then turn off for a bit so the room would heat up and then cool again. This resulted in worse than usual sleep as it was "blankets on, blankets off" all night long. Lobby: Nice and welcoming and we spent quite a bit of time in the lobby reading, talking, and enjoying the atmosphere. We would have liked to see the lobby bar open earlier for drinks. I also missed a filtered water filling station to refill my water bottle - if one was in the lobby area, I missed it. Breakfast Buffet: The buffet was excellent. Crepes, omelettes, and the thicker cut bacon were standouts. Overall, we had a wonderful stay. Read less

Visited the hotel in January. Perceived a terrible smell in the room, and found seriously rotten food in the mini fridge when arriving. Received a ridiculous compensation of 2000 Bonvoy points but rarely any apologies, which would have been much more important.

We are Orlando locals and love the restaurants at this JW. Recently we decided to try out the hotel for an impromptu staycation. Megan, at the front desk, welcomed us warmly and was able to provide several upgrades that really made our weekend special. There was a free wine and charcuterie sampling in the lobby, which we enjoyed before our much anticipated dinner at Sea & Sear. Can’t say enough about that place! Jean-Pierre was a great server and recommended the perfect bottle of French wine and navigated us through the newly released menu. Then packed up a dessert for us to take back to the room. The executive suite was wonderful. Floor to ceiling glass, clean, spacious. It was hard to leave. But, we enjoyed a 5k stroll in the evening along the wide sidewalks outside the hotel. It smelled of cypress as we walked along the undeveloped wetlands. (Remember, this is right near Disney so that quiet wasn’t anticipated.) When my husband hit the fitness center the next morning, I headed to a complimentary Pilates class with Suzie. She was enthusiastic and fun. A late checkout allowed us some time to relax by the pool before heading home. It was fun to see everyone spending time together and enjoying their families. Pool was clean, hot tub nice and hot. Pool service was good (nachos and drinks we had at the pool were mediocre). We would stay here again in a heartbeat! Read less

We were in Lake Buena Vista for 2 weeks. First part with family then just my husband and I for another week. First week we spent with our teenage kids at another hotel and then here. Everything was exactly as we thought. I’m a titanium bonvoy member and was welcomed. But I can see they do not discriminate on if you are an Elite Member or a first time traveler. Property is spotless, staff well trained, and the food was excellent. Big shout out to Ray & Dustin in the lobby bar, for the wonderful recommendations and the Unreserved staff that remembered us every time. I really can’t say anything more. It was a great stay.
