JW Marriott Orlando Bonnet Creek Resort & Spa
Full resort with spa, six restaurants and a kids' club
About this hotel
JW Marriott Orlando Bonnet Creek Resort & Spa is built for guests who want the in-between days at the resort to feel like part of the holiday rather than a gap between park visits. Two outdoor swimming pools, a spa with sauna, steam room and a genuine treatment menu including facials, massage-style body treatments and a hair and beauty salon, and a fitness centre with regular classes give adults plenty to do without leaving the grounds. Kids get their own club and an indoor play area, plus a mini golf course the whole family can use together, while six restaurants spanning American, Italian, Mediterranean, seafood, steakhouse, sushi, Asian and European cuisine mean a week here rarely means the same dinner twice. Rooms keep it comfortable with air conditioning, private balconies, baths and free toiletries, and valet parking and a 24-hour front desk cover the logistics. It sits close to Disney Springs and Disney's Boardwalk, both under five kilometres away, with Orlando International Airport a 24-kilometre drive.

Our take
This resort suits families or groups who want spa days, a proper restaurant selection and organised kids' activities built into the stay, not just a bed to sleep in between water park trips, and it is worth the higher rate for travellers who actually plan to use the pools, spa and dining rather than treat the hotel as a formality. It is not the pick for a tight budget or a couple who only need a clean room near the parks, and those travellers should look toward the more affordable options elsewhere on this list.
- ✓Book a spa treatment or fitness class early in the stay, since a resort this size fills its better appointment slots quickly during busy weeks.
- ✓Try a different one of the six on-site restaurants each night rather than defaulting to the same spot, since the cuisine range genuinely varies from steakhouse to sushi.
- ✓Use the kids' club for at least one afternoon so the adults in your group can actually use the spa and pools without supervising at the same time.
