As a local living in Orlando, I have passed the Bluegreen Vacations resort called The Fountains many times. Â It is on a popular road near Disney World, but tucked away. Â You can see it in the distance, but I have never stopped in for a visit. Â We were hosted by Choice Hotels and Bluegreen Vacations during our stay for the Choice Hotels Ultimate People Person mini vacation. Â I was so amazed by the rooms, the kids activities and the POOL! Â It was a perfect hotel for a Central Florida vacation. Â I loved that this hotel was near the theme parks, dining and outlet shopping but still a quiet family resort. Â Since we are always traveling as a family, I thought I would share my top 5 reasons we love this resort for families.
#5 The Rooms
This is not a typical hotel. Â Your rooms are suites with separate bedrooms, living rooms, and fully equipped kitchens. Â Each morning we made coffee and waffles before heading off on our adventures. Â For a family of 4, this can be a huge money saver on meals. Â With separate bedrooms, the kids could have their own room and even separate beds. Â With a boy and girl, they never want to share a bed. Â With The Fountains suites, each child got their own bed. Â The rooms made our mini vacation more enjoyable for the whole family!
#4 Trail
The Fountains Resort has a trail around the resort. Â It is a beautiful trail around ponds and lakes. Â It is perfect for jogging. Â For our kids, it was the ultimate perk! Â When asking our kids about their favorite thing about The Fountains Resort…the answer was always the trail. Â They loved it!
#3 Family Activities
There are so many kids activities throughout the resort, including snow cones, family karoake, fire pits, lawn checkers, crafts, movies and so much more. Â There is a daily calendar of activities and they change constantly, so you always have fresh and fun things to do for the whole family. Â Some of the activities are an extra expense, but nominal.
#2 Family Crafts
My family and I LOVE crafts! Â This resort has a craft room with tons of fun crafts. Â Imagine making decorative flip flops or crafts from your Orlando vacation. Â That is the ultimate souvenir! Â My family and I loved cooling off in the air-conditioned craft room making family crafts. Â They also have movies on the big screen playing in the background, so it is double fun! Â The crafts are an extra fee, but they are a nominal cost.
#1 PoolÂ
Let’s just say the pool ROCKS! Â There are plenty of lounge chairs, so you will never be wandering around the pool searching for a chair. Â They have a splash park, water volleyball, pool side bar, waterproof lounge chair lockers, waterslides and so much more. Â We even got to see a mommy duck and baby ducklings! Â I could have easily spent my entire vacation, just by the pool!
The Fountains Resort, which is a Bluegreen Vacations property is the ultimate family resort. Â You are close to your favorite theme parks, but still secluded for a more family friendly vacation. Â You will still get the whole relaxing vacation vs getting home and needing a vacation from your vacation. Â The Fountains Resort is one of my top choices for Orlando resorts!
Thank you to The Fountains for sponsoring my recent hotel stay.
