get away; golf trip (family)
Everything about the hotel was fine, except for the room had some shortcomings. Most importantly, the lighting was very poor. Common facilities were fine. The golf course is (as expected) outstanding. Since we were there over Christmas, certain of the facilities (e.g., the fitness center) were closed when we wanted to use them.

adult weekend away from kids
Didnt realize Bay Hill was so old. It was OK but needs updating. Wife and I had a beer and glass of wine at the bar. 20$ for 2 drinks. Not that special to charge like that. I would go again but only to play golf.

Good Hotel, Great location
Overall, this is a good hotel. However, we were without power till 11:30 the first night, no fault of the hotel, but at checkout they were un-willing to do anything to compensate us for the inconvenience. The manager said they would "try" to give me 10% off that nights stay, but so far nothing. Just left a bad taste in my mouth. Other hotels have been much more accommodating, this hotel was not.

Great Room and Surroundings
Room was most comfortable. The amenities were great, especially the swimming pool. Could easily stay several more days and enjoy it. Very relaxing place. Didn't play golf, but for the golfer it would be a paridise.

Relaxing hotel
We had a great stay at this hotel. It is a very nice quality. There is a dress code, which we did not know about beforehand and the access to the pool/gym could have been easier - but otherwise it was a great stay.
