The Grove Resort & Water Park Orlando

Irene Hudson

The resort is gorgeous and feels more like apartments than a hotel. Its a bit secluded from everything and 45 mins from the airport but we rented a car so wasn't an issue. Its modern, clean, smells amazing and the small water park was a huge hit with my kiddo, the lazy river and main pool was heated but nothing else was. We stayed at The Terraces and its not walking distance from the main resort so we had to drive and park to use the amenities which was annoying but NBD. The place was sooo quiet which we loved. The pool at the terraces was freezing cold and unusable. The arcade was also really nice for a hotel arcade. However, the reason for the 4 star is the lack of room service. I couldve paid half the price at any other hotel much closer to the parks and received daily room service. After 3 days of no room service or trash removal or towel swap, we asked the front desk and were told itd be $45. Then a different agent told us they were supposed to be doing trash and towel swaps every other day since we were staying a week, which wasnt done. Finally when it came time to get our one complimentary mid stay clean, my son had spilled some apple juice on the bed, we were excited to finally have some fresh sheets... these people literally took out the trash, dumped a plastic bag full of towels and MADE THE BED with the dirty sheets and obvious juice stain. I couldnt believe my eyes. So although its a beautiful resort, I probably wouldnt stay again. If i wanted no room service Id have gotten an Airbnb at half the price with a private pool. Ive stayed at pretty much every hotel in Orlando and there are other water park hotels that are just slightly less nice but cost waaaay less and provide room service.

Excellent location! Waterpark was awesome! Huge slides, also small splash pad area for smaller kids & awesome lazy river! Buildings were very cut up & confusing but we made it work. There were no extra trash bags left for us in our room, but that wasn’t a huge deal to get more. Somebody else’s trash did sit out in the hall way (2 huge clear bags of trash) for a solid day & part of the next before being removed. Our room was very clean & modern and we enjoyed it very much! If I could offer one suggestion it would be different wrist bands for the room card. Those bands tightened up on their own bc of the dangling strings and once they’re tightened, there’s no going back. I cut mine off, my mom went & got another one put on. Margaritaville and others offer elastic wrist bands and that’s a much better option. I don’t like sleeping with things on my wrist so a removable option would be way better for guests of the actual resort. Overall, excellent stay for our family vacation!

We had an absolutely amazing adventure at The Grove Resort and Water Park this November...our first time here. First we just want to give a HUGE SHOUT OUT to STEVE at the Lake Austin Pier at the resort. He is absolutely a quintessential professional!! He is super knowledgeable and very polished in his delivery, well spoken and polite, a wealth of information about the ecosystem and wildlife in the area, a multi-talented fisherman, boater, kayaker, paddleboater and lover of all things outdoors!! We learned so much in our multiple conversations with STEVE and he really gave us a great well rounded experience outside the realm of normal resort experiences!! We also spent many hours at the water park and the service there was outstanding. Kudos to DALTON and FAITH, both pool servers, for an amazing job handling so many people, getting the orders correct, delivering them fresh and hot, plus following up to check on our satisfaction...all with SMILES!! Excellent service and the food was fresh, cooked correctly and always hot!! Great job STEVE, DALTON & FAITH!! Thanks for making our experience friendly, personal and exceptional!! We will be back!!

We came as a family for my son and daughter’s birthday - we booked three rooms; a one bedroom, two bedroom, and three bedroom. All of the rooms were exceptionally clean and well maintained. The outside hallways could use some maintenance but everything else is beautiful. The water park is cleaned and well maintained. All the staff is friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed service at the bar in the water park - Ricky, Lindsey, Jordan and Jess provided fast friendly service. We can’t wait to have a reason to come for another stay! Only complaint is when paying for rooms and resort fees, parking should be included!

Stayed here for a weekend 10/11/2025 to 10/13/2025. Getting around is a little confusing there definitely needs to be more signs. One night the restaurant closed early, one restaurant provides food for the others so the others were closed too. That sucked! Do Not get the breakfast buffet! The breakfast buffet was overpriced, food was fair. They give themselves 18% tip for bringing you drinks which is unheard of for buffet tip. The lady host at the register was a train wreck. She couldn't keep up with all the people coming to get tables. She was definitely overwhelmed. The 18% tip crap must be a Florida thing. I don't tip 18% at breakfast especially when someone just brings drinks. We did eat at Valencia I ordered the Mahi tacos and a margarita both were good. The Mahi was a bit too salty. Parking is tight for big SUV's or trucks but they have some spots for those type of vehicles. Check in was great. Very friendly staff. Overall it was a decent stay. The two room suite was huge! The bathroom was big and the bedroom was huge. The first floor has really high ceilings. The bed was comfortable but the pillows sucked. Bring your own pillow. If you don't like kids don't come here, there will be a lot of kids running around. The pics of the pool were misleading. There are three pools, definitely need maintenance, tiles missing etc. There's a hot tub too but there were 6 young kids in there so your surrounded by rugrats every where you go. Haha I would recommend a stay here just remember the above mentioned. Have fun!
