Marriott’s Sabal Palms

Extremely quiet hotel. We almost thought it was vacant.
We were on second floor. There is no elevator. Everything needs to be hand carried up.
Nice pool. 3 minute walk to the Marriott one world center. You can use their pools and slides as well.
Very few resort activities, and most are at the Royal Palms (free shuttle).
Master bedroom is nice. 2^nd bedroom is tight, twin bed and a double bed. Hard to get into the closet.
Washing machine is fantastic.
Slow service, we waited anywhere from 30 minutes to 2+ hours for stuff when we called the front desk.
Lots of mosquitos. They liked to hang out by front door.

Epic failure!
I was checked out of my room that had a view of the pool and the Disney fireworks prior to my departure date because «I did not have luggage in my room.»
We missed the Disney fireworks, the laser show at the pool and spend an hour and a half trying to figure out what the heck was going on (I had been in the room a few hours prior and did not know why my key wasn’t working).
I am a Marriott gold member with over 400 nights at Marriott properties; I have travelled a lot of business over the years and nothing like this has ever happened to me.
This was a family vacation and I was treated like crap.
Disney vacations are too expensive for this type of nonsense.
Please consider a different hotel.

Stayed here for a girl’s weekend over Disney Princess Half Marathon weekend — 2 bedroom villa. Extremely clean and all appliances/​cabinets/​furniture recently upgraded. Awesome master shower and huge master bedroom/​bath. Has a sunken in living room that will always make it feel a little dated. Downsides: (1). Have to drive through the bowels of the Marriott complex to get to the entrance. Very odd entrance. (2). Helicopters. I know the Marriott can’t control this, but there are constant Disney helicopter tours that are always hovering around and noisy. Annoying and certainly not conducive to an afternoon nap. (3). While the master bedroom and bath were huge, there is a glass block area in the shower that lets in the light from the parking lot. Room is never really dark at night which is important to me for sleeping.

I am an annual visitor to Sabal Palms and I couldn’t speak more highly of the serene quiet setting, the supportive staff, and top notch villas. I am extremely satisfied with the pools, the walking paths, the spa, the childcare center. You name it, they have the service for it which is primarily because it is adjacent to Marriott’s World Center. I look forward to visiting this tranquil place year after year. Part of the charm is that the large villas are so well maintained that they feel new, and they haven’t torn them down to replace with a new style. They don’t need any new styling as they are beautiful. We enjoy the screened in porch and the large dining room table, using both daily. This place is top notch comfort and parking is easy; right in front of your villa! Our family getaways are all the better because of Sabal Palms. My only recommendation would be for the Marriott staff delay their WELCOME call until after 10am or so since traveling and going from Pacific Time to Eastern Time (3hours) is like getting that WELCOME call at 5am on your first day of vacation. Marriott: We know you love your guests just wait until after 10am to call the room.

I remember coming here is a little kid when we came down to Orlando on vacation. I haven’t noticed the place changed since the early 90s. it has been kept up fairly well, and now that I have kids of my own it’s a pretty decent stay. It is close to Disney and all the other surrounding parks. If your member of the Marriott you will enjoy coming to a place like this. The rooms are fairly large. The one that we are in features two bedrooms two bathrooms and a full kitchen and the living room. One of the neat things to see is gone on your back patio and be able to witness the fireworks from Epcot. I would recommend bringing food to stock up on for dinner or lunch during the day.

A very nice «villa-​style» hotel with 2 bedrooms, living room, and full kitchen. I’m just staying here for a few days at a conference but it has the comforts for a longer stay including laundry facilities right in the room. It is a bit far from the conference center but I knew that upfront and enjoy walking the grounds. It is very clean and the desk staff accommodated my late arrival and even drove me to my room. Since I’m traveling on business I’m not too price sensitive but it seemed like a good deal.

This place is pretty freaking spectacular! Betty and I came here for a NEA conference a while ago and I came away very impressed. The hotel is massive almost to a downfall. It took quite a while to walk from the self-​park garage to the actual hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful. There are very good dining options for all meals within the hotel’s quarters as well. The rooms were clean and well designed layout-​wise. Would definitely come back here!

This is a great hotel for business and families. You really don’t have to leave if you want to just relax by the pool and eat dinners/​breakfast there. I will say though they are connected to the convention center so expect to see lots of large groups. I beleive there were 3 huge events going on while we were there.

Nice units; well appointed, quiet. Fun afternoon activities; well landscaped; convenient to shopping and Orlando attractions.

This place is beautiful. Two bedrooms — One suite with private bathroom and rain shower system. It was amazing. The second bedroom is a two bed with access to a second bathroom. The kitchen was great. It had all the appliances needed for the stay to cook with. The supplies needed to stay for a week was great but they gave only one set. So you had to run out to buy, once it ran out. The only thing stopping me from giving this place a 5 star is the fridge. The first day we got there the fridge was not cold and the second day and days after everything was frozen in the fridge even after the temperature was adjusted. This place also included a washer and dryer. All of the pools were also nice and they had activities for the kids. Some were free and some costed 5 bucks.
Overall, I would recommend this place. Its in the middle of everything.

Love the space and rooms! Each room was decorated differently which made it feel more like a home because everything didn’t look «the same.»
I felt like I was living in a three bedroom condo with a full washer and dryer, fully equipped kitchen, a whirlpool spa and a bidet!
The interior designing was colorful and bright. They stuck with solid colors and a few patterned pillows and sheets.
The queen bed I slept in wasn’t too soft or to hard. In the closet there is wo extra pillows, another set of sheets and a comforter just in case someone was going to pass out on the couch in your room. A nice spot to get away from home yet feel at home.

They did not have a check in/​review page for the main hotel that I could find so this may be a review that doesn’t really belong here. Stayed at the main hotel (which is enormous and a little difficult to navigate upon arrival). Room was good, catering food was good, bar was good. Restaurant downstairs for breakfast was ridiculously expensive and I was 100% disappointed in my meal unfortunately.

We stayed at Sabal Palms for five nights in November 2012. We were visiting Walt Disney World, so this location was perfect for us. It’s about 10 minutes out of the park, and you won’t find a bunch of screaming kids all over the place. It’s located on a giant Marriott property that offers golfing, dining, arts and crafts, and swimming.
Our room was wonderful — two rooms, and the master bedroom is incredible! Each room has its own private bathroom, too — so you don’t have to share one with the whole family. There’s also a full kitchen, including a refrigerator, stove, oven, dishwasher, plus all the plates/​glasses/​coffee cups/​silverware you could need. You’ll also find a very good selection of cook ware and utensils. There is a coffee maker, but unfortunately they charge for coffee packs after the first day — so bring a pound of your own freshly ground coffee to save a few bucks.
The rooms include a large living /​dining area and a huge screened-​in balcony. Ours overlooked a small pond and the golf course — it was so relaxing and comfortable to sit out there in the morning with a cup of coffee.
So, why not five stars? Well, housekeeping needs some work. Even though we left a generous tip every day, they did not replenish towels as necessary, and left very dirty towels in the kitchen. Shampoos and lotions were not replaced after a few days, either — really, Marriott… stop pinching the pennies in these areas. The rooms do come with a full size washer and dryer, so if doing the hotel’s laundry over your vacation is up your ally, you will be all set!

Housekeeping needs improvement… room has urine smell and bed has same smell…

This bldg has all the comforts of home: 2 BR w 2 Bath units plus free parking, a screened in super porch & 7 HBO channels, a couple Starz channels, & many sporting channels per DirecTV. It’s not a new bulding but apparently was recently renovated. There are only 2 stories so it doesn’t seem crowded & feels amply spacious. It’s in the 70’s (degrees) in December so what’s not to like?
