We live in Orlando and I wanted to take my partner "away" for a nice trip for our 10 year anniversary. I chose the Gaylord Palms Hotel because of the reviews and amenities. We stayed at resort from Friday, June 5 to Sunday, June 7 and we never even left the property the entire time. We had alot to do and with the relaxed atmosphere, it ...
We booked a king-size bed on the Internet through the Gaylord Palms Web site. We checked in believing that we were receiving a king-sized bed, but when we arrived at our room, we found two queen beds. When we called to complain, we were told the reservation was not “guaranteed” and that the only room with a king-sized bed was a ...
Pros: (1) Looks nice from a far (2) Close to Disney theme parks (3) Decent conference areas (4) ICE (5) Nice Christmas decorations at the attrium (6) In room computer with free internet access
Cons: (1) Way too pricey (2) Lobby is below average at best (3) Room is average - nothing fancy (4) Service is average - toilet tissue was ...
The resort fee and the parking fees are stupid. Add this all up, plus if you want to get a similar room to the ones on the Disney property plan for a room upgrade at the Gaylord Palms and you will far surpass staying in a Disney property. Don't stay at Gaylord Palms unless you absolutly need to because you will get better service and value out of the 'one fee' for a Disney property hotel.

I found the Gaylord on a website that advertised a room for $99.00. Looking at the Gaylord’s main web I realized that this would be an awesome deal in the ...

anything but quiet and enjoyable

I am writing this at 1:50 am as I am awake for the 4th straight nite while the bar below my room/balcony(Key West) is full of patrons and the same buffet songs playing hour after hour. By no means do I blame it on the folks having a great time - they are at a bar. However, why is a wing of rooms located in an echo chamber overtop a bar for ...

Excellent resort, def not your typical hotel!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/16/07

The atrium and lobby areas are instantly striking, and you will never lack for something to do, even in the summer heat of florida its awesome to feel like you are outside in the giant atrium .I love the spa, although pricey, its worth it. If you book even ...
