Recently stayed at this resort and I must say I enjoyed it alot more than I thought I would.
I have visited the resort a few times for dinner, but it always just felt very " normal " and didn't blow me away by the theming to make me want to stay during a vacation.
I booked a 2 night room at the resort for a resort only stay.
I grew to really enjoy the calmness of the place. It just felt like a nice getaway that didn't feel overly Disney. Just a really nice place. The food was good everywhere, from Primo Plato to bar Riva. Best I have had at a Disney resort for quick food. The music around the pool area was very vacation like and finding a chair wasn't really difficult. Loved the music at the resort. The pool was adequate and I enjoyed it. Sometimes people forget the resort is not that big, so they don't need a HUGE pool like other resorts, and it made sense. The person walking around the pool taking orders was a nice bonus.
It was just a really nice chill vacation vibe at the pool and the grounds. The rooms were really nice. The gelato was pretty delicious also. The service at Topolinos for dinner was bad, but the food was great so I could deal with that. They just need to train the staff better and particularly, add more staff to that restaurant. Servers shouldn't be the ones cleaning up plates off tables at a high end restaurant. Takes too long. Unacceptable for the amount of money they charge.
I would not hesitate to stay here again.. For a resort only stay. I didn't want an overly Disney feel because I wasn't going to the parks.
I think for a actual long term vacation I probably wouldn't stay here because I enjoy the theming of Poly, AKL etc more.. but the resort itself was really nice and I can't see anyone not having an enjoyable vacation here. I do feel the price point for the resort is higher then it should be though. Point wise and cash wise.
