Buena Vista Suites Orlando

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great from check in to checkout. Clean, service was great, breakfast was great."

Walt Disney World Dolphin

4/10 Poor

"Overall, I had mixed feelings about my stay at the Walt Disney World Dolphin. There were some great positives, but also several frustrating issues that made the experience feel overpriced. The biggest positive was the front desk staff. I arrived shortly after 6 AM expecting to only drop my bags, but they were incredibly accommodating and got me into a room early so I could shower, rest, and recharge before a long day at Epcot. The location is also fantastic. Even though it’s not a true Disney-owned resort, being within walking distance to Epcot and close to BoardWalk, Yacht Club, and Beach Club was a huge plus. The Friendship Boat and beach area with hammocks and cocktails were also really nice touches. The biggest downside was the room itself. It constantly felt humid and smelled damp or like chlorine. The AC struggled badly — even set to 65 with blackout curtains closed all day, the room never really cooled off after a full day in the Florida heat. Parking was another headache. Charging over $40 for self-parking would be one thing if there were actually enough spaces available. It honestly felt like guests were being pushed toward valet. I also experienced double charges from room service and the pool bar despite only charging items once. Staff acknowledged it happens, which was concerning on its own. Great location and staff, but the room quality, parking, and billing issues kept this from feeling worth the cost."
