Our journey began as we arrived at the resort in the afternoon, greeted by the friendly staff who welcomed us with warm smiles and helpful advice on how to make the most of our stay. We were eager to explore our new home for the next couple of nights. And as we entered our suite, we were delighted by the spacious and well-appointed accommodations.
The suite featured a comfortable living area with a large flat-screen TV, a fully-equipped kitchen, and two cozy bedrooms, one with a plush king-sized bed and the other with two twin beds, perfect for our family of four. Moreover, the private balcony was the ideal spot to unwind and enjoy the warm Florida breeze while overlooking the beautiful grounds of the resort.

Grande Villa Resort is nestled in the heart of Orlando, offering convenient access to popular attractions such as Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, and SeaWorld; so much so that we’re tempted to go to all three! But since we could only choose one due to our schedule, we went for Universal Studios. The staff will gladly help you arrange your visit even prior to your arrival.

Facilities loved by kids!
On our first day, we decided to explore the resort itself and take advantage of the numerous on-site amenities. We started our day with a refreshing swim in one of the resort’s several pools, followed by a friendly game of mini-golf at the resort’s course. The kids loved the playground and the resort’s activity center, where they participated in fun-filled games and crafts with other children staying at the resort.
