"We stayed here after our Disney cruise and overall had a really positive experience. When I booked, I didn’t fully think through the 4:00 PM check-in time compared to our 10:30 AM arrival after disembarking, so that’s something future cruise travelers may want to plan around. That said, the staff was incredibly accommodating and allowed us to check in early, which we were very grateful for—especially with two toddlers in tow.
The property itself was exactly as described. It has a really unique, relaxed beach vibe that made it feel special. Our kids absolutely loved the outdoor activities—playing giant Connect 4, exploring the oversized chess set, and hunting for seashells around the property. We also really appreciated the amenities like sand toys, beach chairs, and umbrellas available for guests.
One of our favorite parts was the evening—walking along the beach at sunset, seeing the property all lit up, then coming back to relax in the hammocks while we ordered DoorDash. It was such a peaceful, easygoing way to wind down after a busy trip.
That said, as first-time Disney cruisers, the transition off the cruise was a bit tougher than expected. We were more tired than anticipated and didn’t end up enjoying the hotel as much as we had imagined. In hindsight, we may have opted to start the drive home instead."
