Florida -- in all its incarnations -- and free shuttles to Disney parks
The Gaylord Palms epitomizes Florida grandeur. The sprawling resort pays homage to the various regions of the state, from breezy Key West to old-world St. Augustine. Four and a half acres of themed experiences under glass walk guests through theme park-like exhibits filled with lush foliage and architecture that capture the identity of the featured area. Rooms complement the style of each wing. Amenities tend to every need, whether it is scheduled transportation to Walt Disney World or babysitting services.

Amazing Family Vacation
The staff was by far Fantastic!! My children loved the resort waterpark. We can't wait to return next year. the only bad part was restaurants were a bit expensive and not really geared toward small children.

The hotel has live reptiles and fish. You can watch the baby alligators feeding, relax by the several fish ponds or just take in the gorgeous flora. Beautiful and relaxing.

Gorgeous Hotel - great kids pool!
This is a fabulous hotel, it has shops, restaurants, pools, and everything you could want - however, we were disappointed that the kids were not permitted in the hot tub at night, had to be 18. Also, there's not a kid friendly restaurant - the restaurants are delicious but not kid friendly menus, nor prices.

Beautiful Hotel
I had a wonderful time at The Gaylord Palms. The hotel was beautiful and I loved the atmosphere. The only problem I found is when trying to eat off property, the nearest food is just over a mile away and not an easy walk along side the highway and through thick grass. I do wish there we less pricey choices for food on property since it is not that easy to leave the hotel.

Long walk from hotel
If I ever return to this hotel I would consider renting a car for the vacation. Shuttles are provided for the Disney parks, however anywhere else you wish to go you have to pay for cabs or walk a very long walk.
