Ramada by Wyndham Kissimmee Gateway - Free Theme Park Shuttle
Mini-golf, arcade and two pools at a Wyndham hotel
About this hotel
Ramada by Wyndham Kissimmee Gateway packs more on-site entertainment into one property than most hotels at this price: two outdoor pools, a mini-golf course, billiard tables, table tennis and an arcade room give kids and adults alike something to do on a rest day without leaving the grounds. Rooms carry a refrigerator, a TV with cable channels and tea and coffee-making facilities as standard, with most rooms offering a view of the garden or one of the pools. Smokehouse Grill and Lounge serves a traditional American breakfast to start the day, while Mulligan's Sports Bar handles wine, beer and cocktails in the evening, and 24-hour security covers the basics of feeling safe on a longer family trip. The hotel sits about 12.8 kilometres from Disney Springs, roughly a fourteen-minute drive from SeaWorld, and about 24 kilometres from Universal Studios Orlando and Islands of Adventure, making it a workable base for a multi-park Orlando trip rather than just a Disney's Blizzard Beach visit.

Our take
This hotel suits families who want genuine on-site entertainment, mini-golf and an arcade included, for the rest days between water park visits, worth booking for the sheer range of things to do without renting a car for every evening. It is not the pick for guests wanting a quiet, adults-only atmosphere, since the arcade room and mini-golf course pull in plenty of kids, and travellers seeking a calmer stay should look toward one of the more upscale resort options on this list instead.
- ✓Play a round of the on-site mini-golf course on your arrival evening, since it is a low-key way to unwind after travel without needing to plan anything further.
- ✓Book a room with a pool view if you want to keep an eye on kids swimming from the balcony, since most rooms here offer either a garden or a pool outlook.
- ✓Try Smokehouse Grill and Lounge for breakfast before an early Disney's Blizzard Beach start, since the traditional American offering covers a filling start to a long park day.
Why we love it
- Mini-golf course right on the property
- Billiards, table tennis and an arcade room
- Two outdoor pools for more space to swim
- On-site restaurant and a proper sports bar
Why guests love itOur kids picked this hotel over a couple of nicer-looking options once they saw the mini-golf course and arcade room, and honestly it kept them entertained on the one evening we had no energy left for Disney Springs. Two outdoor pools meant we split into groups without any fuss, and Mulligan's Sports Bar let the adults watch a game once the kids were finally down. At 12.8 kilometres from Disney Springs, it is more of a drive, and the price reflected that.
