The Grove Resort & Water Park Orlando

This resort was very comfortable. I will definitely be returning . Parking is conveniently located near the rooms under a parking garage. Rooms are spacious (apartment like) equipped with washer and dryer) and full kitchen. Beds are comfortable, except the pull out sofa which has a spring mattress 2 inches thin. There is barely any room service. We stayed a week and just the kitchen trash was changed every two days. We stayed here mainly for the waterpark for the kids, and when we got there it was extremely full. No lounge chairs available. We ended up going back to the main pools which are heated and the atmosphere is quiet. Staff is nice and helpful. The whole resort was clean. The landscapes are beautiful with lots of space for evenings walks.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had the pleasure of being served by Michelle during our visit at the water park and she was absolutely fantastic! From the moment she greeted us, she was friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome. Even with the busy atmosphere of the water park, she stayed positive, checked on us regularly, and made sure everything was perfect. Michelle went above and beyond to provide excellent service, and her kindness and professionalism truly stood out. She helped make our day even more enjoyable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Michelle, for your outstanding service and for making our visit so memorable! We will definitely be back and hope to see you again.

Anthony and Sauriel were absolutely amazing! They were incredibly patient, kind, knowledgeable, and helpful from start to finish, making the entire surf simulator experience so much fun. They took the time to explain everything, offered great tips, and made my kids feel comfortable and encouraged. Their positive attitudes really made the attraction stand out. I had an awesome time and would absolutely come back to do this attraction again. Highly recommend!

Stayed here for a few nights in a 2-bedroom, 2-bath villa and would definitely come back! The villa was spacious, clean, and having a full kitchen made it easy to keep drinks and snacks on hand before heading to the parks. The water park and pools were a nice bonus, especially on our resort day. The location was also really convenient—we were able to get to Disney, Universal, restaurants, and shopping without long drives. A couple of things to know before you book: we were told housekeeping only provides full service for stays longer than a week. During our stay, we called down for fresh towels and other essentials. When we came back, the clean towels were left in a bag on the floor instead of being placed on the table or in the bathroom. Also, one of the bathroom lights was out during our stay. None of these were deal-breakers, but they’re worth mentioning. If you’re looking for a place that gives you more room than a standard hotel, this is a great option for families or small groups. My only tip would be to plan a little extra time for parking and walking to your building since the property is pretty large. Overall, we had a great stay and would book here again.

I regret booking this stay and would not return. Check-in was chaotic. I waited exactly one hour in line just to receive my room keys. During a busy summer weekend, the resort appeared completely unprepared to handle peak occupancy. To be fair, the staff were friendly and worked hard to make guests feel comfortable. Unfortunately, they seemed overwhelmed by the volume of guests and the operational challenges of the property. Cleanliness in the common areas was disappointing. On Friday, I came across a spilled container of fried rice scattered across the floor of one of the stairwells. When I passed through the same area on Sunday, the rice was still there, suggesting it had gone unaddressed for the entire weekend. Many of the issues stem from overcrowding and the type of guest experience it creates. Throughout the weekend, there was a noticeable lack of courtesy among many guests. Common areas were disorderly, noise levels were excessive, and on both Saturday and Sunday nights someone loudly banged on our door and ran away, waking our children each time. The apartment-style accommodations were adequate but showed signs of deferred maintenance. Several outlets did not work, roller shades were malfunctioning, and there was visible wear and tear on the flooring and furniture. The water park was extremely crowded on Friday and Saturday, making it difficult to enjoy. Sunday was noticeably better once many guests had departed. One of the property’s biggest shortcomings is its layout. The interconnected building design creates bottlenecks and makes circulation feel cumbersome during busy periods. Combined with the overcrowding, the resort frequently feels congested and difficult to navigate. While there are positives, they were outweighed by poor operations, overcrowding, maintenance issues, and a layout that struggles to support the number of guests on property.
