Just booked Wyndham Palms Resort and CC for $88.90 for a two bedroom villa through Hotel Kingdom.:Pinkbounc :bounce: Has anyone stayed there, and if so, can you tell me how you liked it?
 
We stayed there a couple of years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Had a 2 bedroom/2 bath unit. (Two queen beds in the smaller bedroom. King size in the master bedroom. Jacuzzi was in master.) Complete kitchen, washer/dryer, safe. A basketball court (which can be out of the way depending on what building you're in.) When you get back from the parks 3 televisions (really cut down on squabbling over what to watch before the kids zonked out. Didn't really get to the clubhouse.

A couple of miles from Irlo Bronson Hwy.

Think the price you got was great. Hope it lasts until we book our reservations.

Have a wonderful time!!!

We stayed at Wyndham Palms last week--from 2/20 thru 2/24.
Had a 2 Bedroom Villa--was quite large, very clean and spacious!!! In the Living Room was a pull out leather couch,
a 52 inch TV as well as TVs in each bedroom. It had a complete Kitchen and Dining Room as well as a breakfast bar with 2 stools.The screened in porch was a good size with a table and chairs. Our villa was on the ground floor overlooking the golf course.
We saw the 2 pools but didn't have time to check them out--they looked very nice when we rode by!!!! Too many Disney meals so we didn't try the cafe either!!!!!
Was very close to the WDW turnoff on 192--only a couple of minutes down the road!
Also got that tremendous rate from HotelKingdom.
We really enjoyed our stay and would stay their again-----we thought we had enough DVC points until we moved to Florida and became frequent Disney visitors---so we were pleased to find such a great place and rate for our last visit!!!!!

If you have any more ?????--just ask!!!!!!!!!

Thanks so very much. I am glad to hear you had such a pleasant experience. DH and I are very excited as we are going with DS, DIL, DGS and DGD. DH and I stayed at Carribean Beach 2 yrs ago, but we wanted to make it a little more affordable for DS and family, hence staying off property. I have been checking Hotel Kingdom for a few months, and when I saw that rate for Wyndham I almost fell off my chair.

Glad to hear the rooms are spacious.

So it is quite easy to get to WDW from there? We are renting a minivan.

Also, is there a grocery store nearby? Are there other restaurants nearby other than the ones at Wyndham? Any information you can provide will be very much appreciated.:D
 
There are LOTS of restaurants on Irlo Bronson (192.) Very reasonably priced. Look for the coupon books which give you even more savings. They used to have them in the check-in area of the hotel and you can find them just about anywhere you go. Please take advantage of them. They'll help cut down costs.

Publix stores are the grocery facilities down there with fairly decent prices. They have 1,001 of them. Someone might want to correct me, but I think the one on International Drive, just north of Irlo Bronson is the closest to Wyndam. It's a little east of I-4 when you exit that expressway. There is a Walgreen's on the corner. There is a Wal-Mart a lllllloooooonnnnnnnggggggggg way away, but don't know if they also carry groceries. It's supposed to be huge, though.

Hope you're no veggan because there is a Black Angus restaurant at the corner of Irlo Bronson and the street the hotel is on. Very good beef.

For seafood, there is an Angel's to the east of the hotel on 192. Some of it is good, some not.

Again, there are lots of restaurants of all different varieties along 192. There are also quite a few on International Drive when you get closer to Universal, just to the north and south of Sand Lake Road. (I think that's the street's name. Sorry, but once you get past 30, 35, 40, 45, I'll stop there, the mind starts slipping fast.) Having your own transportation really opens up a lot of dining opportunities for you.

I'm so jealous. You actually know when you're going. All I know is some time in August!!!

Sorry. It is VERY easy to get to WDW from there. Just go east a very few miles on 192. Signage will NOT let you get lost.

Thanks so much for all the info. I will print it out. Nope, not a vegan, so the beef sounds great. I will definately look for the coupon book.

Definatey want to take advantage of the kitchen facilities, so we will definately pick up stuff for a few quick lunches and some snacks (and beer and wine;) ).

It looks so nice on the internet, so I am glad to get such positive feedback from you and captiva (thanks captiva!).

Like I said, I was totally taken aback by the price. Hope you can get that price for when you go.

Thanks again, both of you. Now I can relax.:D :Pinkbounc :bounce:
 
newmousecateer- We just booked this hotel ourselves.

Captiva and Popsicle-
There will be 9 of us going on the trip- 8 adults and 1 child. Do you think we will all fit comfortably in the 2 bedroom villa? We are thinking about also booking a 1 bedroom so nobody has to sleep on the sleeper sofa.
Also, is there maid service? I want clean towels every day.
 
Hi J&D
It might be tight for 8 adults and 1 child. The Master Suite has
a King Bed and the Master bath is attached to the room. There are 2 queen beds in the other bedroom with a bathroom right outside that bedroom and a pull out sofa in the living room. Your eating areas will be sufficient but sleeping might be tight----
There is complimentary arrival and departure maid service---additional services are available for $35.00 for a 2 bedroom villa (I guess that is per day). There is a complimentary garbage pickup nightly at 10PM---you have to place your garbage outside your door. There are designated refuse bins adjacent to each building if you would rather not wait until 10PM.

Hi Newmousecateer
Be sure to pick up the coupon books, pamphlets and maps at the check-in building. They all have coupons for various restaurants, shops, etc. There is every kind of food choice on 192 -----also lots of options on 535. There is a Publix Supermarket on 192--that is probably the best bet for picking up supplies except for Walmart!!!!! If you can't live without Krispy Kremes--there is a coupon in the small coupon book for a dozen at the Krispy Kreme store on 192---we got them while they were HOT!!!!!!!

Just remembered there also is a minature golf course just past the check-in building (not sure if there is a charge!).

If I can help with anything else--let me know!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Captiva. I appreciate all the info I can get.

Staylor, haven't heard of Wyndham By Request...thanks much for the link. Hope you enjoy your stay. Let us know what your experience is when you get back please.


J&D, hope you like it also.
 
I also booked at the $88.90 rate. can you please tell me if they asked you to take a timeshare tour even though you were not required to take one? if they did ask you to, did they take no for an answer easily? did they try saying you were supposed to because of your rate? I booked a 2 bedroom & my sister also booked a 2 bedroom & was wondering if they try to hassle you with a tour. thanks in advance for your response!
 
We also booked this resort for November. There was a further discount of about $25/night offered if you take the timeshare tour but it is only available to residents of selected states.
 
No---we were NEVER contacted for a timeshare pitch or tour! A few minutes after we arrived in our villa, we received a phone call from the Front Desk to see if everything was OK with our villa. At that time I thought they would inquire as to if "we were interested in a tour" but No--it was a genuine customer satisfaction question! I believe that HotelKingdom did offer a lower rate if you were interested in the tour.
I have no idea as to how much they do go for---saw loads of folks on the golf carts touring around.
Since we own at OKW (DVC) and South Seas Resort, Captiva Island we really aren't in the market for another timeshare, so I'm glad we didn't have to get involved in the whole NOT INTERESTED discussions!!!!!

We are going there too!! We just got our confirmation 10 mins ago!! I am so thrilled.. We got 9 nights for 800.00... We had Westgate at 450.00 but we had to do the timeshare presentation. After reading all the negative feedback on Westgate this is a total relief to get this deal!! AND no timeshare presentation... Woooo hooo.... Plus DH can now play golf!
 
Glad everything worked out for you! You will really love your villa! The golf course looked beautiful----don't know anything about golf but it sure LOOKED GOOD!!!!!!

Enjoy your vacation in SUNNY and WARM FLORIDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Luv2trav, cinamin27, & newmousecateer- When will you be there?

We will be sitting through the timeshare presentation.
At least we will be getting a reduced rate AND a free meal for all of the hassle. ;)
