We had the pleasure of staying at The Grove Resort & Waterpark for a weekend and we already cannot wait to go back!
*This trip is sponsored by THE GROVE RESORT AND WATERPARK but all thoughts and views are of my own!
CHECK OUT THE GROVE RESORT AND WATERPARK LINK HERE!
We arrived on a friday night and had a seamless check in! While checking in there is a seperate parking area to pull into, AND a lot of seating in the lobby for the family to hang out in while you are checking in! The property is huge so you will get a map with your room key. I highly recommend also downloading the app and keeping that map handy for your stay!
We stayed in a two bedroom, two bathroom suite. The master bedroom had a full king bed, tv, chair and a full dresser, with a bathroom including a seperate shower and tub, double sink, seperate toilet area and dressing room style walk in closet. The 2nd bedroom had a queen bed, bath/shower combo, sink vanity and a seperate walk in closet. The closet and storage space in the bedroom is A LOT.
Here is a video tour of the second bedroom! The master is set up almost the exact same! You can also look at the room setups at this link HERE
I must add, every wing of the Resort has their own parking garage as well! There is an elevator per parking garage and each connect as well with a bridge. We didn’t find the parking or getting around the resort to be an issue at all for our famiy of four!
The balcony from our room had a gorgeous view of the waterpark and one of the pool areas! It was so pretty and peaceful to have coffee from our balcony in the morning! That area is always important to me when having a room at a hotel or resort, it defintely adds into the wow factor for me!
Let’s talk everyones favorites! The amenites!!!
You guys there is SO much to do at The Grove Resort and Waterpark! We didn’t even cover half of our bases that we wanted to get done within the pool/waterpark area!!! I loved though that there is a whole other pool section called The Springs with a zero entry style pool, little fountains and the perfect mini splash area for littles, if the Waterpark is not your vibe for that day! We of course did both and had so much fun! Londyn loved the slides there, and could have played in that area all day long!
We didn’t try our skills at the flow rider but that is for sure on our list for next time, there is also BIG waterslides, a lazy river AND another entire big pool with again a zero entry!
The Springs pool area also has a jacuzzi, and another pool on the other side! When I say there are a lot of options for your family when it comes to lounging outside, playing in the water ect, there are a ton!
The flowrider is not included in your stay but is reasonably priced for the time amounts on it!! You can also pay for a private lesson which I thought was pretty cool!
I highly recommend making your way down to the dock when you stay at The Grove resort to try your hand at fishing, or you can even take a boat cruise for 30 minutes to an hour! We spent the morning fishing and even caught a few! The kids loved this and I can say as many places that we’ve been, we’ve never had the chance to fish on property! The dock overlooks the lake to the resort and is so peaceful, I enjoyed my coffee out there with the views and the fam!
There was a wildlife expert by the name of Steve who was eager to help us out, show us the best places to cast out and even showed us a baby gator in true florida fashion!
There are so many dining options at the Grove! The first night of our stay we opted in for take out pizza from Alfresco Market! It was cooked right there and it was delicious! The next day we had breakfast items from Alfresco’s market, poolside snacks from the walk up bar, we had the hummus appetizer, and mozzarella sticks, and then for dinner we dined at Valencia and the food and service was amazing!! I enjoyed the Mahi dinner, the kids had mac and cheese and Lenny had the paella and it was all great!!!
We ended our full day at the Flip Flops family arcade!! They have a glow in the dark mini golf and the kids LOVED it! Rome even scored a hole in one!!! Then we finished up with some games and there were so many cool choices! This is probably one of the best hotel arcades I’ve seen in most of my hotel stays throughout life! lol! There was so much to do, you also can trade your tickets won for prizes at the end of your playtime!
We seriously had the best couple of days at the Grove resort and Waterpark. We cannot wait to go back, I highly recommend adding this resort to your places to stay in Orlando. Whether you’re looking for a family staycation or visiting from out of state, your family will thank you!
