Has anyone been there lately. Wanted to know the status of the ongoing construction. Like what's completed and what's not. Thanks.

Hi everyone! I'm glad you asked this question. We're staying here in Jan.
So far the reviews on tripadvisor are good but I'd love more details.

We are staying there in March and are hoping everything is ok. Trip advisor reports are good so far

I've had 2 friends of mine stay there in the last 2 weeks (separate visits) and neither of them mentioned any kind of construction to me. Both loved the resort and I'm sure they'll be back!

Anyone know if the pools are heated in the winter months? Thanks.

I just stayed there from October 12th-16th. GORGEOUS place. We had the 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom. I did not see any active construction. Maybe some orange fencing down further, but no noise of any kind when we were there. THe only negative I can think of were the funky love bugs at the pool, but that isn't the resorts fault of course Let me know if you have any questions.

Oh thanks for posting!!! How was the drive to the parks? Did you have to pay extra for housekeeping? Any close by restaurants? I would be excited for any and all details we have reservations in Jan. TIA

Well, this was a non Disney trip for me. It was a girls weekend, so we hung out a lot at City Walk. The drive to there seemed long. Not bad at all to WDW. Tons of restaurants along the main road. Yes, there was housekeeping and pool towels, turn down service with chocolates too! The pool area was nice and the workers at the pool bar were very friendly as were all of the staff that I encountered. They have a nice business center if you need to check in for flights or whatever. Walgreens is right across the road, a Publix is about a 1/2 mile or so. You should love it

Thanks so much Plutosfriend. One more question was there a bar at the resort?

Yes, outdoor bar right next to the pool. Very friendly bar tenders that will treat you right! Have a blast. I will see if I have any pictures that do the place justic and share.

I stayed there in Sept and Oct, for a long weekends, spectacular place located on 192 between mile marker 4-5 (I believe), accross the street from Houlihans. Awesome staff, very friendly, and spacious accomodations, and extremely clean. All granite counter tops in Kitchen and Bath rooms, maple cabinets, stainless appliances. Didn't want to leave.
Pool bar and store are run by the nicest couple.

Can you fish in the lake that is on site?
