Room (Sunset Lodge)

This is a resort-view room, so you look out over the grounds of the 800-acre, Four Diamond-rated resort rather than a parking area or a service side. The room measures 406 sq. ft. and has contemporary décor and blackout drapes, so you can also darken it completely for sleeping in.

The room is offered with 1 King or 2 Queen Beds and sleeps up to 4 guests. A single-size sofa bed gives extra sleeping space, and a rollaway or extra bed can be added for a surcharge. With two queen beds it works well for two adults and two children, or for two couples travelling together.

The private bathroom has a bathtub or shower, bathrobes, slippers, free toiletries including shampoo and soap, a hair dryer and a magnifying mirror. Accessibility features include an accessible bathtub with a grab bar 32 inches high, a portable bathtub seat and a visual fire alarm. Towels and bed sheets are changed on request, which suits longer stays.

Check-in is at 4:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM. Late check-out is available for a fee, subject to availability. The lead guest must be at least 18 years old and show photo ID at check-in. A credit or debit card in the primary guest's name, or a cash deposit, may be required for incidentals.

Yes. The resort is family-friendly, and a 406 sq. ft. room with two queen beds and a sofa bed gives a family of four space to sleep. Guests with children can use the zero-entry family pool with a waterslide, the wave pool, the kids pool with slides and the 850-foot lazy river. The pool slides have a 36-inch minimum height. The Adults Only Pool is for guests 18 and over, but families can use all the other pools and cabanas.

A mandatory daily resort fee applies, and recent listings show it at about $54.96 per night. It covers use of the pools and lazy river, Wi-Fi, the shuttle service and the complimentary fitness center, which is open 24 hours a day. Parking, spa treatments and cooked-to-order breakfast are extra. Self-parking is $33 for the day or $38 overnight, and valet is $50 per night.

A complimentary shuttle runs to any resort location, including the main resort, pools, golf and the Leadbetter Academy. There is also a free scheduled shuttle to Walt Disney World, with about six departures and three to five returns daily. The resort suggests booking 24 hours ahead. Shuttles to the Magic Kingdom and EPCOT use the Transportation and Ticket Center, where you take a monorail into the parks. Trips to Universal and SeaWorld are not complimentary.

The resort has nine restaurants and bars, including Zen (Pan-Asian and sushi), Trevi's (Italian bistro with a terrace), David's Club (steakhouse and sports bar), the poolside Croc's and Broadway Deli. In-room dining serves breakfast from 6 to 10 AM and dinner from 5 to 10 PM. A $5 room dining charge, an 18% service charge and tax are added to orders. Hours at some outlets vary with the day and occupancy.

Under the resort's Good Night's Rest Policy, only registered guests may enter guest room elevators or guest rooms after 10:30 p.m. The pools close at 10 p.m. Orlando International Airport is about 26 to 28 miles away, roughly 25 to 30 minutes by car. A direct shuttle costs about $25 one-way or $45 round-trip per adult.
