Gaylord Palms Resort and Spa is a beautifully themed luxury hotel located just one mile from Walt Disney World property. This over-the-top resort will amaze you with its lavish 4.5 acre indoor atrium, which is glass-enclosed and air-conditioned for comfort. The atrium includes four sections, each representing a different region of Florida: Key West, St. Augustine, the Everglades and Emerald Bay. Without leaving your hotel, you can wander through the misty Everglades, party on a boat in the Keys, explore a Spanish fort, or even watch live alligators being fed in the atrium waterways!

Great hotel and great value!

This is not an ordinary resort. Everything is first class from the staff to the rooms and the restaurants. We especially enjoyed the different themes and the outside atmosphere from the atrium. This resort surpassed my expectations.

I would highly recommend this hotel to other travels. This would be a winner for either leisure or business travelers with or without kids.

Large hotel with many options for a business traveler. My daughter and son liked the family pool with its octopus slide, but I was unimpressed with the efficiency and helpfulness of some of the staff.

The hotel was great. The conference center attached with the hotel made for a very crowed environment. At the time of our stay they was cheer leading competition in conference with made the atrium too loud and pool too crowded. We will not recommend for small families.

The hotel is very nice. Our room did face the parking lot, but for the price it was okay. I was very disappointed that we could not have dinner at the restaurant in the hotel or swim in the pools, upon check in , due to conventions. We also had to stand in a 20 person line to get breakfast. I think its great for business people, but as far as for leisure, I would not recommend it. The non business clients were really put out.

This is a beautifully landscaped hotel with some of the best indoor tropical plants/flowers/water areas I have ever seen. There are places to explore in the center atrium area for kids and young teens complete with baby alligators and turtles. It was outstanding.

My entire experience at the Gaylord was tainted by the fact that I landed in the middle of a cheerleading convention which included excruciatingly loud techno music and girls screaming so loud throughout the beautiful atrium that I had to literally yell to talk to someone, from my room with the door closed. All of the room doors were decorated with pomp pomes and streamers and I endured two nights being in the middle of a huge slumber party completely with doors slamming every few seconds, running through the halls, screaming, bumping balls against my door. Security did very little and I was ready to abort my 5 night vacation after two nights. It truly was unbearable. Thousands of kids overtaking every pool, Jacuzzi, sidewalk, jumping and screaming. I had not one second of rest or downtime which I expect in a resort. A nice registration worker finally got me moved to an area of the hotel reserved for "staff" of the convention and my vacation improved then (also the cheerleaders left a day and a half later). My nerves were completely shot by the time I arrived there. She made up for it but I don't think I should have had to endure what I did in the first place. My entire experience was tainted by that. Why can't they reserve a section of the hotel for guests not involved in that craziness?

It was great for what I paid however, it was very much a business hotel. It was raining so I felt there was nothing for my son and I to do but that is not the hotels fault. The food was marginal at the outside bar.

The hotel is one that I would highly recommend for business travel or leisure. We had a great time exploring and we loved the pool set up for the children.

This is an overall really great hotel. Good location has everything you need to eat and shop for a few days to relax. We have stayed here several times before and the staff makes an extra effort to help with anything you need. They even moved us to a larger "family" room since we had three kids with us.

The hotel was beautiful. It was conveniently located. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I would definitely stay there again!

Overall, I had a very nice experience during my albeit short stay. The room was spacious and well appointed. The location is close to all the major attractions like Disney and universal studios.

The hotel was excellent in most ways. The business office needs work. First to receive a package at the hotel there was a charge (and that is awful considering you pay already a resort fee) and then the person working was not very helpful.

Excellent hotel! Easily beats many of the Disney resorts. They have to try harder here and it shows.

Great hotel. The spa is wonderful!

This was our 2nd experience at this hotel, and once again it was wonderful. We ate at the restaurants (2 out of the 3), girls played at the arcade, the rooms were very comfortable. It does meet the standards of a Resort Hotel.
