Just returned from 8 nights at the Amerisuites at Calypso Cay! What a lovely place! We paid 39.50 with the Entertainment card rate and it was worth sooo much more!
We had the king suite with a pullout queen sofa bed for my son. The room had a small kitchenette with a sink, fridge and microwave, a small table and chairs, two phones, a huge L-shaped desk, 1 arm chair, 2 end tables, 1 coffee table, and a large TV between the two rooms that swiveled. Our room was on the 4th floor and we had a lovely view of palm trees and the pool.
The breakfast was great every morning...cereal, boiled eggs, waffles, french toast, bagels, toast, danishes, fresh fruit, granola, yogurt, juices, coffee, teas...in the afternoon they had a popcorn cart that you could get fresh popcorn from and they always left out an assortment of teas, hot chocolate and coffee in the lobby (nice touch).
Housekeeping was FABULOUS! They are Russian speaking ladies and they changed our sheets EVERY day. I was surprised at that. I always left a small tip in a mousekeeping envelope and our maid really seemed to enjoy this...she always said how pretty it was. The rooms were really kept nicely and done nice and early so when we got back around 2 everything was done.
The pools were fun. The adult pool was where we usually swam and it was fine! The kiddie pool had squirting crabs and that was cute for the very young.
The drive was about 5-10 minute to any of the Disney parks. We took the .50 toll road (Osceola Pkwy.) and it was a straight run right into Disney....VERY EASY!
I must say for $39.50 we were SPOILED! I can not say enough good things about this place and the housekeeping. The only down thing we experienced was the washer/dryer dilema we have discussed here before. There are 2 washers and dryers for both hotels and one washer was broken while we were there, but hey nothings perfect...LOL.
We had a very positive experince and please post any questions...I would be so happy to answer them all!
