I have not stayed there either, but I saw it over the summer. I believe it and the Fairfield Inn, which is adjacent to it, just opened in July, 2009. It is close to SeaWorld (faces the back side of the SeaWorld Park), but not within walking distance of the park entrance. There is not a lot around it, but I think there was a restaurant (possibly a Friday's, but I may be mistaken) in the parking lot in front of both hotels. Aqautica is on the same side of International Drive as both hotels (probably about a 1/2 mile from the hotels). I would think it would be nice since it is new.
