Ana from Hollywood,FL
“The hotel was gorgeous. The staff was nice and helpful. The rooms and bathrooms throughout the hotel were very clean and well maintained. Once you check in you really don't want to leave the hotel. They have lots of thing to do in the hotel; arcades, adult pool, family pool with slides and waterfalls, mini golf, nice bars and restaurants.” Aug 12, 2009 by
Kim from Maitland,FL
“Not very friendly or informative staff.” Jul 22, 2009 by
Carlos from Doral,FL
“Hotel location, environment, decoration and amenities are very nice. The cleanliness was not acceptable in our rooms. The parking very expensive and its not include in the rate the same thing with the resort fee.” Jun 4, 2009 by
Heather from Oviedo,FL
“The Hotel was beautiful, very clean, and relaxing. Met and exceeded expectations. The only down side is the meals are very expensive at the hotel (but there is lots of other dining in $17/day resort fee and $12/day self parking charge or $20/day valet charge. Adds up quickly when you are not expecting it. Other than that we loved this hotel and would definitely stay again!” May 21, 2009 by
Linda from Edgewater,FL
“I would highly recommend this hotel, however, beware that valet parking is $ 35.00 and they add in a resort fee that you will not know about until you check out.” May 3, 2009 by
Mike from Hamilton,OH
“Liked the comfort, size and cleanliness of rooms. Layout of hotel to park and get to room was confusing. Saw other travelers confused on parking and access to rooms and facilities.” Apr 30, 2009 by
Michelle from Auburn,AL
“Great hotel for the money.” Apr 25, 2009 by
Courtney from Dawsonville,GA
“Lots of amenities. Beautiful resort. They have everything you could possibly need at the hotel. I think the cost for parking was too much. It's $13.00 each time you leave.” Apr 23, 2009 by
Amy from Fraser,MI
“It was truly amazing! I wish I had more time just to spend at the hotel! There was not much there that we could not get. Other than the lack of Mickey mouse, there was no need to leave! The only complaint was that the restaurants were pricey. I do not mind spending money on great food but most budgets do not allow for 5 star dining every night.” Apr 23, 2009 by
Bill from Miami,FL
“This is always my first choice in hotels in the Orlando area and I have stayed at all for the resorts. And it is very Priceline friendly.” Apr 22, 2009 by
Sebastian from Weston,FL
“The facilities are awesome, so the hotel. The only problem is that they were having different private parties with live bands, and it was impossible to stay in the room because of the noise.” Apr 13, 2009 by
Vanessa from Wesley Chapel,FL
“The staff was very unfriendly and unhelpful. People went into the pool without the staff officially opening the area. Room keys were deactivated everyday and we had to make a trip to front desk. They should not charge so much for parking and resort fees ($30 a day). TV volume and sound did not work properly, wallpaper in room & bathroom was peeling off. Food was overpriced and was awful, stale, and old tasting. We just did not enjoy the hotel, staff, or anything about our stay and will not recommend Gaylord Palms to anyone.” Apr 12, 2009 by
Jiang from Ellicott City,MD
“There is 12 dollar parking fee and 16 dollar resort fee for every day.” Apr 12, 2009 by
Judy from Ponte Vedra Beach,FL
“This hotel has a beautiful atrium with gorgeous plants, fish, alligator pond, and everglades area. The children love just walking around. The pool is great, there is a variety of restaurants which are all good. The rooms are nicely decorated and they are clean. We have stayed there many times and will continue to return.” Apr 12, 2009 by
PB from Raanana,IL
“Large hotel with all the facilities. The rooms were large, clean and nice.” Apr 11, 2009 by
Barbara from Ormond Beach,FL
“Excellent rooms! The spring flower collection of daffodils, tulips & hyacinths were abundant & absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed our workout in fitness center with the total body work out! Just a little sore the next day but the guy leading class was very good & even good to my two young daughters. Shops are nice too!” Mar 31, 2009 by
Joe from Coral Springs,FL
“We found this hotel to be quite spacious with lots of greenery restaurants. Rooms were large. Overall had a great time.” Mar 19, 2009 by
Matt from Minneapolis, MN
“Gaylord Palms can certainly rely on fine print, but hotels should avoid that, because relying on fine print almost always results in poor customer service. The overnight parking fee was over $12.00 per night and the resort fee was over $16.00 per night. With regard to security, one of my wife's necklaces was missing from the bathroom counter. My wife went to the front desk to file a report, but no one from security was available to take the complaint, so we eventually left because it wasn't an expensive necklace (fortunately) and we didn't want to waste our time. Still, any hotel where anything disappears, is cause for significant concern. Finally, and it's a minor issue, but the toilet paper dispenser in the bathroom was loose and falling out of the wall when we arrived. It was the recessed type (where the drywall has to be cut out to install it) and it could be pushed back into the hole in the drywall, which is apparently how the cleaning staff was handling the problem.” Mar 6, 2009 by
Cheryl from Weeki Wachee,FL
“The atrium is beautiful. Rooms are spacious and clean. The location is excellent and close to everything. Staff is very helpful and friendly.” Feb 25, 2009 by
Coop from Tarpon Springs,FL
“With a great location, plenty of parking and a wide array of things to do and see without leaving the hotel it was a very pleasant stay. Our stay was relaxing and enjoyable, we would recommend the Gaylord Palms to everyone!” Feb 23, 2009 by
Amy from Pittsburgh,PA
“The hotel room was very clean and new, decor looks upscale and modern. Parking is right under building and is free for self parking. There is a shuttle to Duval that leaves 20 past every hour and bike rentals are right across street. Room was very clean and staff very friendly and helpful.” Feb 18, 2009 by
Jennifer from St Johns,FL
“The hotel met my expectations, but the Jan 26, 2009 by
Alice from Jersey City,NJ
“Hotel was amazing, we stayed here for the Disney marathon and the location made it very easy to get back and forth to. I did not realize that there was a charge for parking until I arrived. You can't really walk to any other bars/restaurants, and those on property are pretty pricey, but the quality is very good. Room was great, pools and facilities were wonderful and well cared for, and the atrium is amazing. My friends and I had a blast.” Jan 25, 2009 by
Shawn from Dayton, OH
“Awesome. The staff, the location, the facility. Perfect!” Jan 12, 2009 by
Eddie from Stoney Creek,Canada
“Good location near highway. Pools are excellent and are open 24 hours. The children pool is especially great. Rooms are very good size and beds are comfortable. In room computer is a great idea and very helpful.” Jan 9, 2009 by
Mike from Austin,TX
“This hotel is beautiful on the inside and has a lot of things to do Jan 5, 2009 by
Patricia from Madison,GA
“In a sentence: Large hotel built to house lots of people. Nothing quaint or charming about this hotel. The front desk keeps a constant queue. Indoor atriums are great for kids - but are fake and aesthetically very man made. Nice pool for kids and workout room for adults.” Dec 30, 2008 by
Heather from Miami Lakes,FL
“It's Gaylord Palms. That's all you need to know! Just a wonderful, awesome resort that is close to all the action in Orlando. I stay here every time I travel to the area. So much to do, so much to see in just the hotel alone!” Oct 25, 2008 by
Seong
“Hotel charges extra fees daily, which they call mandatory resort fee. If you ask in detail, they will tell you 2 bottles of water, internet, newspaper, etc. This fee, you can not get out of, however overall very nice hotel, except daily charge around 17 dollars.” Oct 23, 2008 by
Matthew
“I've stayed before, and I will stay again. It is a very nice resort hotel.” Aug 22, 2008 by
Mary K. from Coconut Creek, FL
“Clean, friendly staff, ok food, shops and food a little pricy for quality. Beds were terrible!” Aug 20, 2008 by
Rob from Jacksonville, FL
“The hotel is a mini theme park, with an atrium with several different areas made to look like different regions in Florida, including a full size sail-boat restaurant in water.” Aug 20, 2008 by
Kevin from Dunedin, FL
“The family pool was closed for the two days we were there, which was one of the main reasons we chose a resort. It happens, but it shouldn't happen in summer. The rooms were nice, hotel like but nice. The resort fees and parking added almost $30 a day to the price. Dining off property was a little far to find many options at all, but especially healthy/vegetarian friendly options. There is a grocery store a couple of exits up that would have helped with breakfasts/lunches/snacks had I known before hand. In the end, I will probably stay again, bringing groceries with me and ordering dinner in.” Aug 19, 2008 by
Ed from Port Charlotte, FL
“Gaylord Palms Resort, one of the most beautiful hotels we have ever stayed at in the Orlando area, or any where else! Thanks for making our Orlando experience such a delight.” Aug 12, 2008 by
Jane from Savannah, GA
“This is a beautiful hotel. Easy to get to. Right off of I4. It is convenient to Sea World and Disney. Close to family friendly restaurants off of hotel property. Great places to eat at hotel. The pool area is awesome. The staff was so friendly, beware of parking fees and resort fees.” Aug 7, 2008 by
Alyson from Melbourne, FL
“When I arrived to the hotel the lady at the front desk was nice, that's about where the good customer service ends. For a place such as the Gaylord Palms I would expect nothing short of every staff member anticipating your needs. I promised my Daughter a Strawberry Daiquiri, but that seemed like an impossible feat. We waited at the outside bar for 5 minutes before a guy asked if we had been helped, I responded with no just to find myself still waiting another 5 minutes. We ended up just leaving. Later in the evening when I went to an inside bar, it was the same thing, the guy seemed to show no attention to anyone at the bar. Again we waited at least 10 minutes, but this time we left with a drink. The family swimming pool was ok, but it would have been nice if in the hour and a half we were there someone would have brought out towels. We ate at on the boat that's inside for lunch. It was actually very good food, but again the service was very slow. I've stayed at many Resorts in Orlando and Gaylord Palms was far from the best. It's very nice inside but my Daughter nor myself were very happy there we couldn't wait to go home in the morning.” Jul 30, 2008 by
Stacy from Columbia, MO
“This was a great hotel to wow my family on our first night of our vacation.” Jul 24, 2008 by
Chris from Mason, MI
“Very nice hotel, would stay here again, be careful of the resort fee that you are untold about.” Jul 21, 2008 by
Paul from Fitchburg, MA
“This is a good hotel for business travelers because of the convention centers and such. It is not meant for the casual leisure traveler. The resort is enormous and it takes a good 7-8 to walk from the lobby to your room. If you are not on the first floor. Decent seafood restaurant, but dining is very overpriced for the quality. Be careful to check who your neighbor is as well. The walls are thin and you can hear everything.” Jul 21, 2008 by
Debra from Loxahachee, FL
“All in all a fabulous place to play.” Jul 10, 2008 by
Mario from Miami, FL
“Large hotel and convention facility. Comfortable room. Large enclosed atrium. Pool area not up to Resort Standards, for size of property. Daily $15 resort fee. Valet parking $18 daily. Self-parking $12 daily.” 1 of 1 people found this review helpful.Jul 8, 2008 by
Ashley from Lithia, FL
“This hotel was very upscale, clean, Staff was friendly and wanted to help in any way. They also did not charge you for every little thing. Prices were reasonable. Restaurants were very nice and delicious. Price range varied.” Jun 28, 2008 by
Steve from Arlington Heights, IL
“Nice staff, clean room, beautiful facility. Parking should be included in the resort fee and if you want HDTV you should go somewhere else.” Jun 5, 2008 by
Angela from Panama City Beach, FL
“My children and I loved the Gaylord Palms. Our stay there preceded a Disney World onsite vacation. We never got tired of the Gaylord Palms, and we never managed to see it all. The buffet Italian restaurant was extremely good, and Javier was the best waiter I've had the pleasure of meeting. We had a breakfast there and dinner twice.” 1 of 1 people found this review helpful.Jun 4, 2008 by
Leah from Gainesville, FL
“The hotel was very nice. The facilities and room were immaculate. My biggest complaint was the lack of attention from the staff. There were not enough chairs at the pool to accommodate the guests. In addition, they allowed children to swim in the adult pool as well as people to smoke at the pool even when there were signs that prohibited this. When we asked staff to take care of the situations, nothing was done. I was very disappointed about that, but otherwise it was a good visit.” Jun 4, 2008 by
Mike from Wellington, FL
“Very elegant hotel, nice amenities, but I was surprised by the additional resort and parking fees that substantially increased the per night charges.” Jun 3, 2008 by
Ben from Parkland, FL
“From the time we pulled up to the time we pulled away we had a 100% enjoyable stay. The consider it done attitude of the entire staff was wonderful. We even extended our stay a day because we were so pleased with the Gaylord Palms. The themes and pools had something for every family member and the availability of baby sitting services was a plus. We will use that the next time we visit and we will be visiting this location again.” May 31, 2008 by
Marc from Boca Raton, FL
“Everything was great as usual except room service and front desk. This is our 2nd visit to hotel and had the same problem both times. There's a paper to fill out if you want breakfast in morning. It must be put on your door before 1 a.m. Both times I put the dam thing out before 8 p.m. and both times nothing arrives and the paper is still on the door. When I call the front desk they don't seem to care and connect me to room service again at which point we get up and go out to breakfast. Maybe service is why the hotel was so empty.” May 30, 2008 by
Jennifer from New London, CT
“Very nice hotel. Beautiful atrium. Helpful staff. Would return.” May 30, 2008 by
Kim from Estero, FL
“Amazing destination resort. Very relaxing, but never boring. Many things to do for all age groups. Great pool area for younger kids. It was so much fun to explore around the atrium - for me as an adult and for my younger children 3 and 9. So much to see and do there was not much reason to leave the hotel. The staff was so friendly and professional. Our room had a balcony through to the atrium and the view was incredible. We left the doors open to hear the soothing sounds from the many waterfalls. It will be difficult to beat this resort.”
