Most of my posts are describing the design comfort and particularities. Here we have a standard. That mean that it is compliant to international standards for hotels. The only thing is the place. Buena vista lake is a precious place close to the Disney park. The weather is very good. Not that close to the Orlando airport.

We have just returned from a two week stay at the Swan hotel, and were very happy and hope to return in the future. Admittedly we had a little "wobble" about this hotel a few months ago when we read a few of the negative comments, but we experienced no issues at all. Our key thoughts are as follows: Positives:...

Arrived Saturday, May 18th at 9am, and even though it was much earlier than their standard checkin time we were quickly given a room on the 16th floor. The room was very clean, the beds were extremely comfortable, and the layout is quite spacious and easily accommodated a full size crib. The property is beautiful, especially the pools and beach...

This was not our first stay at the Dolphin, but it was the first time we had come back since trying a handful of "off Disney" properties. Nothing had changed in these years, and I guess that is kind of bad. Through work and other organizations that I belong to, I can receive discounts at most hotels. We got a... More

Sticky floors and counters, moldy showers, no service and ridiculous resturant pricing. Very outdated, needs an entire overhaul. Ac stopped working. I am a life time platinum with Marriot. Would rather stay in holiday inn express. Had a convention here so no choice.

Last year we stayed at the Swan, this year at the Dolphin. We were just as happy! We would have booked the Swan again but it was full. The dolphin is really big, and my only gripe was that we got lost a few times within the first couple of days. I would recommend the Swan for that only reason... More
