The hotel

This plush hotel has a wide variety of facilities and activities including the R Aqua Zone, an interactive waterpark with two waterslides as well as two splash and play areas. Golfers can enjoy a round or two on the 18-hole Championship golf course nearby, while those interested in relaxing can lounge by the huge outdoor pool or take a dip in the fizzing Jacuzzi to wind down. There is an incredible choice of restaurants on site — ranging from fresh seafood to great steaks. Kids will love the play area, while adults can have fun in the Boardwalk Sports Bar.

The Renaissance Orlando at Sea World is our favorite hotel for our family vacations. We keep returning to this hotel because it is perfect for us. The rooms are clean, spacious, and comfortable. The food is excellent. We enjoy breakfast at the Tradewinds restaurant every morning. The market in the atrium was recently renovated and there is now a huge pizza oven, soft-serve ice cream bar with toppings, and a full Starbucks so you can get hot pizza to order, ice cream, great coffee and beverages, plus all the typical market items. The bar is nice too, and the bartender is friendly and knowledgeable about the local activities. All of the staff have been very kind and helpful. Sea World is across the street, and it is an easy walk. We have stayed here at least once a year, ever since our kids were little, and now they’re almost grown. We have stayed here in the summer, fall, spring, and winter. Every season is a great time to be here. Renaissance at Sea World feels like our second home in Orlando. It is our all-time favorite hotel ever! Read less

I stayed here 3 nights with my company for a conference. Check-in was quick and easy and the person was helpful and gave me a rundown of the hotel. My room was your standard Marriott type of room. The bed was comfortable and the room was very clean and well maintained. We enjoyed drinks in the two lobby bars and I had breakfast at the grab-and-go restaurant in the lobby was really good and well-priced. Definitely a great hotel and great location for the conference center. Read less

Spacious open interior "courtyard" area inside the hotel is bright and filled with natural sunlight. Plenty of elevators available to take us to our room on the 6th floor with a balcony view overlooking the Sea World amusement park. This is an older hotel that was remodeled in early 2000 and does have some signs of wear, but the rooms are… Read more

I want to thank Lori at all guest services (AGS). They are in the lobby of the hotel. I had some time to kill before my flight and had ill planned ideas on things to do. She made some nice suggestions and it really made my day. I’m not used to getting useful help anymore….she was a breath of fresh air. Many thanks!!

We stayed here for a conference at the Orange County Convention Center and enjoyed the clean rooms. As travelers have mentioned, the lobby area can get loud with lots of guests or events going on and the food at the restaurant is steep. The grab and go area is more reasonably priced.
