Grande Villas Resort - An Orlando hotel with an island feel

Island vibes and free-form pools bring the tropics to the mainland. Dormant volcanoes and palm-lined lagoons are normally reserved for remote islands, but Grande Villas Resort offers an isolated feel on dry land. The resort’s three-story, water-erupting volcano pool rests at the property’s center, while palms and ponds conjure images of the Caribbean. Villa-style suites with airy balconies present homey comforts for a secluded stay. And visitors might forget that this “island getaway” sits in Orlando, a short ride from its theme-park standbys.
