If you enjoy a more elegant refined resort, the Swan. For something a little more upbeat, lively, bustling and festive, the Dolphin.
Like NancyIL, we are also repeat customers of these fine resorts. We love the services offered, the location, the wonderful comfortable beds after a long day of walking and the overall ambiance. Their room service breakfast is awesome!
When it's just the hubby and myself, I prefer the Swan. When we bring along our teen sons (soon to be 16 and 17 years old) we prefer the Dolphin as they like to run down to Picabu or the arcade on their own and it's just downstairs. It's not a far walk from the Swan though, it's just across the courtyard.
It's not an all disney all the time resort. If your daughter is looking for Mickey and Minnie at every turn, she won't find it at the Swan or Dolphin. What you will find are nice little groupings of comfortable chairs and sofas, and a cute gift shop. There's just enough "Disney" to not be overwhelming. We get enough of that in the parks. It's nice to return to a little peace and quiet at the end of the day.
The location can't be beat in my opinion, and since it's a tall resort, some of the views can be outstanding depending on our location.
I think for a mother/daughter trip the Swan would be an excellent choice!
