Family Friendly Hotels in Florida, United States

The front desk staff were really nice, and the location is great. They offer a free shuttle to Disneyland and Universal Studios, plus there are tons of restaurants nearby. What could be improved is the quality of the shampoo and conditioner, and the shower pressure was a bit low.

The hotel is beautiful. We booked a partial sea view room in the main building, which has a maximum floor of 17. We were assigned a room on the 15th floor, and the ocean was visible diagonally in front of the window. The hotel also has an annex building, which appears to be about 10 stories high. When we booked, the Ocean Front room in the annex was the same price as the partial sea view room in the main building and included three breakfasts. After researching and reading reviews saying the main building was recently renovated and newer, we chose the main building room. The hotel entrance is surrounded by palm trees, and the lobby is quite grand. A path leading to the swimming pool from the side entrance has fountains on both sides, which are beautifully lit at night. The swimming pool isn't large, but it's surrounded by rows of beach chairs. Walking across the pool and out of the hotel leads directly to the beach – incredibly convenient! On our first day, we took photos and played in the water on the beach. The hotel provides dedicated lounge chairs and towels. Sun umbrellas cost an extra $30. After playing for a while, we went back to the hotel pool. Lying on a beach chair listening to live music, with staff offering complimentary snacks like frozen mango chunks, strawberry smoothies, and frozen coconut milk—small portions, but incredibly refreshing—were delightful. Free ice water, sunscreen, and towels were also available by the pool. The next day, I got up early to watch the sunrise on the beach. What I loved most was the hotel's buffet breakfast: $46 per person, $22 for children. Our room included two breakfasts; the selection was vast, and everything was delicious. The fruit was huge—blueberries and blackberries were much larger and sweeter than those in the Bay Area. The melons were also very sweet! Excellent value for money! The hotel is a 5-minute walk from Lincoln Street, perfect for a relaxing evening stroll. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Miami!

This place is incredibly convenient for all Universal Studios parks, offering direct round-trip shuttle service. The room cleanliness and service were also very good. In the lobby, there's a Universal Studios service desk where you can buy park tickets, Express Passes, and book your shuttle. They even have a car rental company on-site!

Good value and location for staying  on Disney property.  I stayed one night and got early access into  Disney parks on Check in day and Check out day.  The Walt Disney All Star hotels are priced the lowest of all Disney hotels and although they are not as fancy as the Floridian or as Coronado Springs, they are well with the stay.  Clean room, great amenities

I had a fantastic stay here! The hotel's location is excellent, making it super convenient for getting around and finding places to eat. The front desk staff were incredibly warm and efficient, making check-in a breeze. They were all very friendly and helpful with any requests I had. My room was spotless, well-lit, and the bedding was really comfortable, leading to a great night's sleep. The bathroom facilities were complete with stable hot water, and the toiletries were of good quality. The common areas were quiet and elegant, with a tidy and organized environment, and the overall decor was simple yet stylish. Breakfast offered a wide variety of dishes; everything was authentic, fresh, and delicious. This hotel offers great value for money and is perfect for both business trips and leisure travel. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in the area, and I highly recommend it to everyone!

This is an official Disney hotel, and it came with complimentary water park tickets, which was a lot of fun. The room wasn't huge but it was very clean. The AC was ice-cold; even when turned off, it would automatically reactivate to maintain the set temperature. The hotel staff were very friendly, and parking at the Disney theme parks was free by just scanning our room key, which was a fantastic perk.

I booked the Dolphin Hotel directly for my Disney trip. I hesitated for a long time between several Universal hotels, but before the limited-time cancellation period ended, I decisively cancelled several hotels including Stranova and kept this one. It turned out to be a wise decision. The receptionist was really nice; she upgraded our pool room to a water park view room. I watched the Epcot fireworks for four consecutive nights at Dolphin, and then watched them several more nights at Universal – I'm practically addicted to Disney fireworks! They don't allow them in Beijing, so I got to see them to my heart's content in Orlando, haha. There's a Universal Studios service counter in the lobby where you can buy tickets and express passes. Near the parking lot, there are shuttle buses to various parks, very frequently. There are many people going to Epic in the morning, so there might be a queue during rush hour, but there aren't many people on the shuttles to Florida Adventure and Universal Florida. There's a convenience store in the lobby; you can buy food and eat at the restaurant tables. You can keep your room key as a souvenir when you check out. A great hotel, very convenient. I recommend everyone try it.

We stayed here for the early admission to the park, and for the shuttle bus. The location is so convenient for the park, and it was the best division to stay here. Rooms are nice, hotel is spacious, we had only one day to do Universal/ Islands of Adventures, but by staying here and the express pass we literally did everything in one day. Just make sure to use their 7 AM shuttle bus! The pool is pretty, but it’s too cold to swim in January. Would def recommend this hotel!

The breakfast selection wasn't huge, but having coffee and hot water available 24/7 was really convenient. The shuttle to the park sometimes runs late, so you really need to be careful and wait by the door ahead of time. I suggest the hotel reception gets involved in managing this!

A fantastic hotel with a superb location. It offers convenient bus access to all Disney parks, and there's a free water taxi right outside that goes to Epcot and Hollywood Studios, which is incredibly convenient. The hotel itself boasts a great selection of restaurants, and we also ventured over to the neighboring Swan Hotel, where their dining options were equally excellent.
