The Grove Resort & Water Park Orlando

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!

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!

October 2-5, 2025 - Spent wife's birthday 🎂 weekend with my family at the Grove. Funny saw an ad for it while there on TikTok 😆. Was an adventure since I drove to the parking lot without my family, and lot stopped on the 5th floor. So had to park and take the elevator the rest of way. The bags were taken up prior to then. Nice setup. Security out front, the steward at the registration entrance was very helpful, with luggage and building directions. Rooms were nice. Because it's a resort room service is different and pool towels are in the room. After some adjustments things were fine. Kitchenette was included and had to get linen for one child. Nice walking trails, wading pools, etc. Make sure you read and understand everything before, during, and after being there. Rooms, TVs, and amenities were nice. The grab and go store may have been a little pricey. There's a charge for parking and you have to be out at a certain time. We enjoyed our stay.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ FlowRider Fun Worth Every Splash! The hotel itself was good enough — but the real highlight of our stay was hands down the FlowRider Double Surf Simulator! 🌊 A huge shout-out to Jax and Eric, who were absolutely amazing with our four kids (ages 10–16). They each took the time to give every child a personal experience, helping them build confidence and trust before letting go — and by the end, all four were riding like pros! 🏄‍♀️🏄‍♂️ What really stood out was how patient and encouraging they were. You can tell they love what they do — it made the whole experience so much more fun and relaxed. My only complaint? Thirty minutes flies by way too fast! ⏰ So here’s my tip: book your FlowRider session with Jax and Eric early in your trip — then try to sneak in a few more before you leave. Before you know it, you’ll be surfing like a natural! Even while watching them work with adults, we were amazed at how much progress people made in such a short time. It’s truly an awesome experience for all ages. If you’re staying at the resort, don’t miss this — it’s pure joy, laughter, and splashy fun from start to finish! 💦

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!
