Frommer's Highly Recommended

If Antonio Gaudí and Dr. Seuss had teamed up on an architectural design, they might have created something like this Starwood resort and its sister, the Walt Disney World Swan . This hotel centers on a 27-story pyramid with two 11-story wings crowned by 56-foot twin dolphin sculptures. Because it isn't as theme-intensive as the other Disney resorts, it's popular with business travelers and those who prefer their accommodations a little less sugary. Rooms offer views of the grounds and parts of WDW and were upgraded throughout 2006. The resort shares a grotto pool with waterfalls, water slide, and whirlpools, as well as a Body by Jake health club with the Swan. The Mandara Spa is open. Camp Dolphin is a supervised children's program for kids ages 4 to 12, offering a variety of activities to keep the little ones busy while mom and dad enjoy some time alone. Epcot is the nearest park, just a short water taxi ride away, and the BoardWalk and Beach and Yacht Club resorts are within walking distance, greatly expanding the dining and entertainment options within reach of your own two feet; however, with the addition of Todd English's bluezoo, you may not need to go too far for a really good meal.
