The Orlando Experience

Positioned next door to Universal Orlando and about a twenty-minute drive from Walt Disney World, this villa is built for a group that wants to hit the parks hard and recover in style. The screened pool and spa overlook the water, and the covered lanai gives you somewhere to eat, drink, and decompress without leaving the garden. Inside, the games loft – stocked with shuffleboard, arcade machines, and a jukebox – means there's no dead hour between dinner and bedtime. Superhero-themed and toy-themed bedrooms will delight younger guests, while grown-ups can retreat to a freestanding bathtub after a long day on their feet.
