If you are arriving via MCO, the easiest is the Hyatt right at MCO. McCoy's restaurant is open late and has great food, lots of choices, including many choices for kids. Bonus, you don't need any transportation.
We haven't tried Cabana Bay, but we like Sapphire Falls and CB gets high marks, though the non-discount rates I'm seeing aren't making either a low-priced option right now.
Most other options we've tried tend to be closer to WDW, which you don't really want if you are going to Universal. (I'm guessing, as you posted this in the Universal section.) There are some reasonable options on I-Drive.
