Its a great resort, has a couple pools, and is about a 5-10 min walk to the park turnstiles. Its across the street.
We stayed last year and now its an official sea world partner hotel which gives you the quick quie pass, and free shuttles to universal, sea world, aquatica and discovery cove. We didn't use them but they were an option.
Rooms are nicer, the resort is being remodeled, we stayed in an older room and it was updated and nicer than our beach club villa room we stayed in right after.
All in all I would recomend the resort.
