Helios Presidential Suite?

[smile145]

I am looking at a couple nights at Helios for the first time in May 2026. I know I want a theme park view and I want club level.

I found the Presidential Suite at average of $1427 for the nights I want (includes club level and theme park view) with annual pass holder rate. This is 1500 square feet, don’t really need that much space but seems a much better deal than the regular room with theme park view and club level which is only 345 square feet and with the same dates and rate is $1049 a night average.

For a short stay thoughts on the presidential suite at this rate?

It is a better deal if you look at it through the lens of price per square foot, but paying around $800 more for a huge room you don't really need is a LOT of money (assuming you stay 2 nights).
The price Helios charges for club level is absurd for what you get. We got a great deal on a club level room back in June and enjoyed it, but it is NOT worth more than $40-$50 per person per day and frankly, that's pushing it if kids are involved since they don't partake in the evening included drinks. For dates I've been looking at, they regularly charge $300 or more per night for club level and I cannot justify that for bagels and cereal for breakfast, some wine, and subpar food in the evening. The problem with doing club level is that even if you can afford it, you feel like you HAVE to partake in the offerings and that can keep you from enjoying some really great meals elsewhere.
If money is no object, go for it. I'm sure it will be fabulous. But if it were me, I could have MUCH more enjoyable meals outside the club with the money saved.
