Reviews of Wyndham Orlando Resort, International Drive

Just got back from a two week holiday at this hotel.Travelled with Thomson Holidays.

Flight in very good and on time,picked up hire from Alamo,this was also smooth,no problems there,then drove down from Sanford airport to International drive.

The Wyndam is in a great location on i drive, not far from Disney and all the other parks.The free shuttle bus to Universal,Sea World,and Wet and wild was excellant,so easy just pick up outside reception.Also i trolley is great to get to malls or up and down i drive.

The hotel is sprawling, very laid back,you would not believe you are on i drive.

Lovely Swimming pools and hot tub surounded by pleasant landscaping lagoon et all.

Shop that sells Starbucks coffee,ice cream etc is close to main pool along with nice bar and snack cafe.

Please do not expect 4* rooms,more like 3* but quite adequate. Clean with good beds

shower,bath, and t.v.It is a .good idea to tip chamber maid each day,Service staff are taxed in America whether they get tipped or not.Our room was kept very clean and had plenty of clean towels.

Choose a 1st floor level room facing into lagoon /pool areas ,we found more pleasent

and better security,you need your swipe key to get into corridor.There is a safe in your room to but belongings als safe deposit box at reception.I would say Block 8,9,10,11,12,

would be good to stay in.We were in block 9.Reccomend you buy a cooler from nearest supermarket,there is no fridge,but ice machine just down the hall.

We hired a car handy to get to airport and to go to Disney.Used shuttle to Sea world and universal.Rememember this a nice hotel,But other people use it for buisness,not just holiday makers.

Great location for eating out and relaxing after the parks,nice touch from hotel includes free towels at poolside,Floats for kids and even sun cream, table tennis ,bar football and pool also.Swimming stays open till midnight,even though we stayed in accomadation close by we did not hear any noise.

I was not dissapointed with this hotel and would stay here again.Room are o.k.And any way on a trip like this you will not be in your room all day.Perkins,Denny`s,Ponderosa all good for food. Tgi friday,chigaco uno,and our favourite the olive garden excellant value.

Stayed here last 2 weeks in July - party of 2 adults and 2 children. Great location on I Drive, staff very helpful and friendly.



The rooms are well maintained, cleaning and fresh towels daily. The grounds are well kept and the pool areas are lovely. The breadfast in the hotel restaurant is not to be missed. Totally enjoyed our stay here and will be back again. Would highly recommend this hotel.

We had a fantastic 3 week holiday at the Wyndham Orlando. We got married at the Wyndham and could not have asked for a better hotel. The surroundings were stunning, the staff excellent, and the food was brilliant. We would definitely recommend this hotel if anyone was planning to get married in Florida.



The Wyndham is a perfect location close to the parks, places to eat and the shops. When you are sat in the pool bar you would never believe you were on the middle of I Drive!

We had a very enjoyable two week stay on I Drive at the Wyndham Orlando Resort. It is a beautiful hotel in lovely grounds and has three big heated swimming pools.



The hotel is very well situated - within 20 minutes of the theme parks and also to the shopping malls. Would highly recommend Denny's for breakfast, which is just up the road, the food is excellent and the staff there cannot do enough for you.



We also ate at Brahams Breeze which is on I Drive and the food here was excellent. We also enjoyed a couple of games of crazy golf. Sadly, the downside we found was that the hotel room was very noisy.



You can hear everything, the people upstairs and doors banging. We had a very noisy Christmas weekend. We were in the middle of a large family from Japan who had six of the rooms beside us - they would come back late and night and make a lot of noise - also be warned, don't have your room by the ice machine as this tended to keep us up most of the night.



In all we only had about three nights good sleep other than that we were woken up for one reason or another due to the noise.



The rooms were not that well cleaned either. We came back three times to find no bath towels had been left - on each occasion we rang House Keeping but on each occasion it took them nearly 2 hours to come to our room with the bath towels!



Another day, we came home early in the afternoon from one of the theme parks (3.30 pm) as we had had an early start to find that our rooms had not been cleaned - the beds were still not made and the maids had not been in so we left and came back an hour later to find that the room had only just been cleaned!



Sadly, the noise and the rooms were a downside to this otherwise beautiful hotel. If you want a quiet hotel, I would not recommend this one.



However, the staff on reception and the staff in the gift shop were very friendly.

Great holiday. Hotel is the best we have ever been in. Florida is brill for all ages. Virgins free bee was great a free meal for all 6 of us in the hard rock cafe fab meal. Best parks were sea world and typhoon lagoon went twice to both.



Great places to eat and good value were the ponderosa for breakfast all you can eat buffet $3.99 fab full up till late afternoon great for days in parks and pm meals golden corrall buffet $7.99 you can’t move after that. Hotel staff were brill so kind great pools very clean free stuff was great towels blow up stuff for the kids even down to sun lotion free.



The rooms were huge massive TV maids were great nothing was too much trouble even when we needed more pillows at 11pm we got them. Anyone thinking of Florida Disney go for it you will remember it always.

I am just writing to say we had yet another first class holiday to Florida we went five years ago stayed at the same hotel we ask for the same room and got it.




The hotel is large but near to everything we do not drive but use the ‘I’ trolley and free transport to Universal and Islands of Adventure you can get a coach to the Disney parks as well. Seaworld is very good just down the road on the I trolley




Loads to do eating places, shops if you like crazy golf.




The hotel I would highly recommend clean maid service every day TV in room and fridge we did pay extra for a suite as you get two queen beds and a little room with bunk beds so we can watch TV and the children get their own TV.



The swimming pools are heated and they are open 24 hrs a day.




The only thing we moaned about was the junction of International Drive and sand lake road is so busy especially at night trying to cross the road you only get 20 secs to cross. Also if you have not been before international drive is so long you do not realise how long.

An excellent hotel we really enjoyed our stay here. The surroundings are very pretty and the pools are all nice and clean. Room was basic but nice. There are plenty of nearby restaurants I suggest Perkins just across the road.



All the attractions are close and the hotel provides a shuttle to all theme parks although these only come early so you may want to get a taxi if you enjoy a lie in.

This was a must visit hotel with all the comforts you would expect from a high-class hotel. offering plenty of things to do and see for the kids and the adults I would highly recommend visiting this region of the U.S. with Disney land so near by and all the studios theme parks too there is always plenty to do. The weather was really hot and it is always a good idea to take sun block for all the family especially if you are going to visit the outdoor sites as you will burn very easily indeed.



I would recommend 'Cuatro Bar' for somewhere to take the kids in the evening as it is a family venue that also has nice surroundings. I think you would be hard pressed to take the family else where and have so much to do anywhere, one thing to beware of is the cost of the flights as hunting around means that you can sometimes cut your flight prices by almost a half!

Excellent Hotel !

This hotel has a brilliant location along with some great facilities (4* rated). The main pool was rather large and was heated, and wasn’t too far away from the pool bar. The hotel was always clean and tidy and the staff were always really helpful. The accommodation itself was very clean and spacious and are located in blocks from 1-10, we were in block 4. There was building work going on whilst we were there last April but we were not affected by the noise and to be honest we couldn’t hear them at all, day or night.


The only thing we weren’t happy with was the courtesy transport laid on by the hotel to Universal Studios, it was 45 minutes late before we decided to grab a taxi, but can you really complain about something that’s is free ?

Anyone considering going to Florida should go without a second thought, this place has something for everyone.


Before I go, I would like to recommend 'Ronnies Steakhouse'. This is the best steak I have ever tasted in my life !!!! Make sure you take a wallet full if you know what I mean, this restaurant is rather on the pricey side.

Great Holiday !!
