Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

This resort just goes to show that you should never judge a book by its cover. What appears to be a rather blah-looking hotel from the exterior is absolutely beautiful and inviting on the inside, with luxurious touches throughout. A glass-covered atrium rises high above a stunning indoor courtyard area that's filled with lush gardens, cascading waterfalls, and an elegant free-flight aviary. The tastefully decorated rooms, all recently revamped, are oversized, providing plenty of space to spread out and relax. After extensive renovations to the pool area in 2006, 2007 saw a $20-million makeover that included the addition of an 8,000-square-foot full-service spa. You can't beat the location if you are a fan of SeaWorld -- the park is just across from the hotel.
