Regal Palms resort and spa

Review Submitted: July 30, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Myself, husband and two teenage children of 16 and 13 have just returned from a two wek stay at Regal Palms. We were extremely pleased with the four bedroomed property that we rented, It was clean, well equiped and spacious. It had every thing we needed for a 'home' from home self catering accomodation. Staff at the reception were polite and helpful nd clubhouse staff were also very courteous. The facilities on the resort were fab! The children (and adults) loved the lazy river and pool, The jacuzzi was also great. Free internet access in the clubhouse was a bonus for the children to communicate back to there friends and wifi is also free if you have your own laptop. Food menu was of good quality and value and saved a trip out to local resturants. Publix supermarket is a stone throw away to stock up on all the essentials for your self catering needs and the odd bottle of wine! There are a few restourants in walking distance but a large variety of restaurants are a short drive away.Would highly recommend this resort and property and we are planning to return next year.
Owner's Response: Delighted that Louis, Gareth and family enjoyed their stay at our property and that they were good enough to write this review. We would be equally delighted to take care of them again in the future!

The free internet access using the Resort's computers at the internet cafe in the Clubhouse was introduced this year and proving very popular.

Great house, pool area and location

Review Submitted: August 31, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Had a great stay with my wife and 2 children - location of the house/resort is wonderful for the Disney Parks and access to the main highways- also very conveniently located just around the corner from a large Supermarket and other shops.

House itself was very spacious, clean and well equipped.
The house is very close to the main Clubhouse and reception so could easily walk from the house or take a 1 minute drive if feeling lazy...

The Clubhouse had internet access (wi-fi) which was free. The restaurant was very good and convenient after a long day at the theme parks.

The best feature of all was the pool area with its lazy-river which my kids loved.

My only critiscism was that the lazy river became very packed on several days and I suspect full of many people whoi were not actually staying at the resort - theer was very little or no checks to prevent anyone from just walking in! There were some unsavoury people staying at the resort also which I guess is the norm if you decide to book a place with shared facilities.

We had a great time and I recommend the house and resort.

Family friendly, close to the Disney Theme Parks

This was our first visit to Orlando and I’m so glad we had chosen this resort. I’m sure we’ll revisit in the future…The owner was very helpful and his suggestions helped us save time and money…The resort and the property are very nice and I would highly recommend it particularly to those with young children. All I can say is: we had a great time…

Family Gathering

Brackman Texarkana, Arkansas
Review Submitted: June 19, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
The Regal Palms was an extrondianry place to stay. It was very clean and quiet at night. When we came back to the resort after a long day at the theme parks my kids always wanted to hit the pool, my whole family had a wonderful time at the resorts pool. We had meet some very nice people everyday. I can't wait to spread the news of such a wonderful place to stay and without taking a tour if you do not wish. The price was perfect, especially if you could share with another couple. Every morning I would get up early enough to cook a big breakfast, and most evenings we came back to eat dinner. This saved a bundle on feeding as many as we had in our group, the local Publix and Walmart was a life saver for this trip. I was able to keep up with laundry so when I went back home I did not have this piled up. Everyone in our group helped on everything and we all had a wonderful time

Great place to stay

Review Submitted: May 15, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
We booked through Simon, who was really helpful while we were planning out trip.
Regal Palms is great, we had to drag the Kids out of the huge pools - they would have spent the whole vacation in the pool. The rest of the facilities were just as described and the staff were friendly.
The house was exactly as we had been told, clean and comfortable and close to the facilities.

We will definitely be back.
Thank you Simon for your help

Great location

Graham S Harlow, Essex
Review Submitted: May 12, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
This was our 3rd trip to Florida. We booked our holiday through Simon and his service was great. He has a really useful Frequently Asked Questions website that gave us a load of useful tips. The Resort is in a convenient location about 15 to 20 minutes drive from Disney. The house was well maintained and had all the usual extras, a real "home away from home". The Resort is great for relaxing and we took advantage of it and saved ourselves yet another exhausting day at Disney as our kids just loved the pools there, and we enjoyed resting our feet for a day! Would definitely recommend it and planning on returning, which is not something we normally do.
Owner's Response: It was a real pleasure to deal with Graham and his family, and to talk to him on the phone before his departure. Glad we were able to help!

Had a great time

Review Submitted: May 11, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
We rented Simon's house in late March at the Regal Palms for 7 nights. This was our first holiday with our extended family and our first time renting a house (we would normaly book a hotel). We booked through Simon and everything went so smooth. We could not have asked for more, the house was very clean, spacious and comfortably housed 7 of us for the duration of our visit. Our 3 year old son had a fantastic time playing in the pool, so much so he would ask to leave Disney during the day so he could swim. It was nice to be able to cook for ourselves while away, the house had just about everything you need. All in all beautiful area, great Resort, friendly staff and one unforgetable holiday. I would recommend the Regal Palms to anyone, we would definitely return.
Owner's Response: Just like to thank Maria & Chris for their kind words

Review Submitted: April 15, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
The location was great, 15 to 20 minutes from Disney. The Condo was comfortable for all of us. It wasn't very clean though, it made me wonder what the cleaning crew did for the cleaning fee we paid. The pillows were extremly old and in poor condition. We all enjoyed the water park, lazy river and water slide.
Owner's Response: We are delighted Vickie enjoyed her stay

We have already reacted to the issues regarding cleaning

The house has been "deep cleaned"/spring cleaned again (even though it was done just 6 months ago) which included a full clean of the carpets. We have also told the Management Company to replace the pillows.

We thank Vickie for her feedback which has given us the opportunity to deal with any shorfall in service. We have also "had words" with the Management Company who employ the cleaners, and they have, to their credit reacted very positively to this feedback

Review Submitted: September 22, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
Superb location, great house. We really loved this place. We are a family of 5 people (2 adults + 3 small children), and the house was really perfect. Suprised how big the house was, and within walking distance to the pool.
We will surely come back and stay same place.
Thanks for a nice holiday and already looking forward to next visit.

Relaxing in Orlando

Happy Vactioner St. Louis, MO, USA
Review Submitted: July 28, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
Accomodations were exactly as described and clean and comfortable. Spent the days at the very close by theme parks and returned to relax in the warm pool; even skipped paying to go to the water park since the pool area was so accomodating to families. The only thing I would describe as less than perfect was that the pool closed at 8 p.m. and I would have prefereed a bit later. This was my second visit to Regal Palms in 24 months and I would not choose to stay anywhere else while visiting the Orlando area. While I did not utilize the restaurant, the spa services were on par with any 5-star facility. Would recommend - and have - to friends and family. Close and easy to get to all nearby major attractions. Choice of many different types of dining nearby, from fast food to 5-star. Staff all welcoming and friendly. So much better than staying in a hotel.
