The Grove Resort & Water Park Orlando

Kissimmee, Orlando

Virgin rating

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.

Tarusha & Valentina were fantastic! Our poolside experience was fantastic with these two at the helm. Extremely pleasant and prompt. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much for your hospitality. You can expect our return to this beautiful resort in the future.

Great pool experience! Thank you to Tarusha Valentina for making this experience even better. Your customer service was excellent! She checked on us consistently (but not annoyingly). She always greeted us with a smile and even assisted us with correcting a very slight mistake.

Eric was fantastic with my boys during surfing simulator. They both learned a lot and really enjoyed the experience, great value! It was 35 for an half hour session which is very reasonable. We will look to book another session next time we stay at the Grove.
