If you’re traveling to Orlando with the whole family, whether you’re planning a Disney trip or not, you’ll want to make sure that the hotel you’re staying in is right for everyone. The great news is that many hotels are perfect for the whole family in this area (as you might expect), and here are some of the best.
Westgate Lakes
Westgate Lakes is a fantastic resort with its own water park, featuring a lazy river, wave pool, and both children and adult-only pools. There is even a golf course for when you need a break from swimming.
Your children (and you) are going to love Westgate Lakes, one of the best Orlando resort hotels you could ask for when it comes to taking the entire family away. Everyone can have their own room inside one of the enormous suites, and the on-site water park with a lazy river and 41,000-gallon wave pool is sure to be a hit.
Add to this the fact that the hotel is only minutes from the Disney parks and a host of other attractions, and you’ve got the answer as to why this is a great choice. Don’t forget the golf course, fitness center, and multiple restaurants if you’re looking for something extra to do without leaving your hotel.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge
Real animals are all around you when you stay at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge.
Who likes Disney? Who likes animals? Add those things together, and you’ve got the Animal Kingdom Lodge – your kids will love the idea of staying here! However, most family members going away with you will also love it because this hotel, apart from being one of the official Disney resort hotels, will transport you to a world far away. Africa, to be precise – or rather, that’s how it will feel.
With gorgeously appointed rooms and an African theme to the décor throughout, you’ll love Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. You’ll also love the 234,980-gallon zero-entry swimming pool with an extraordinary 67-foot slide, or the fact that you can roast marshmallows around an open fire together.
There’s baking and crafts. Plus, there are over 200 animals around the hotel that you can see easily from inside and out.
Sonesta ES Suites Orlando
Located on International Drive, Sonesta ES Suites Orlando is perfectly situated for all the parks like ICON Park, Disney, and Universal Studios.
You don’t have to get up close and personal with the Disney parks to enjoy what Orlando has to offer, and if you’re looking for something a little further out, don’t worry; the Sonesta ES Suites Orlando could be just right for you – it’s certainly right for families.
You’ll find this particular hotel on International Drive, just moments from ICON Park (which is ideal for families). Plus, speaking of families, you can book suites that house up to eight people at this hotel, so no matter how many of you there are, you’ll all be able to stay together.
Enjoy a free breakfast each morning and hop on board a shuttle to the parks if that’s your plan. Or stay in the hotel and relax around the heated outdoor pool and whirlpool to make the most of your stay.
