We stayed at the Grove for 3 nights. The waterpark is included for “free” in your stay. I am giving 4 stars bcuz this resort may be fantastic for others and we had a nice time, but in my opinion there are details that would probably steer me towards trying other resorts than going back here anytime soon. I do want to say though that every employee we interacted with was very kind and helpful. The thing we absolutely loved the most was the Flow Rider at the small waterpark. The instructor that my kids had was absolutely amazing and made sure my kids had a blast during their 30 minute ride session. He also stood on the board with them and let them wear his sunglasses and hat and would splash the parents watching, which the kids loved obviously lol. My kids also loved the hair wrap station. The girls working at it were very kind and did a great job. I am not sure if we just got unlucky on the days we were there but the water at the waterpark felt so gross and dirty. When we put goggles on and looked underwater you couldn’t see past a couple inches. One of the main walking paths in the waterpark in front of the two large slides was so slippery with what I would assume is mold. I saw multiple adults slip up and almost fall and multiple kids fall. Seems like they should invest in fixing this situation rather than just putting a yellow folding sign that says watch your step. So be careful there. The resort can be somewhat difficult to navigate at first until you really understand the what felt like so many doors from the parking garage to your room. And the parking garages were designed poorly so have fun with that if you have a large vehicle. Something else we may have been unlucky with was the flooring in our rooms bathroom. Whenever you would step on the floor near the shower the floor felt soft and you could hear water slushy noise, which grossed me out as well. There is obviously mold growing under there. Some of our cons are probably things others could look past and may not be bothered or grossed out by. And I know the employees are working hard and doing a great job, so the resort is a very nice option for many and still deserves good stars.
The kids had a great time at the water park. It was a fun and enjoyable experience for my toddler as well as the older kids. We also found a great restaurant nearby where we could relax and have drinks. The hotel we stayed at was absolutely beautiful, like a mini house with three bedrooms, TVs in every room, and a spacious and well-organized kitchen. It was the perfect accommodation for our family. We had a fantastic time at the water park, despite it being a bit far from Kissimmee. On our way there, we were surprised to pass by Disneyland, which was also further away than we expected. However, the drive was completely worth it. The sight of the beautiful palm trees as we approached the resort was simply glamorous and breathtaking. I had a wonderful experience during check-in at the resort. The process was a breeze, and I was impressed by the friendliness and professionalism of the staff member who assisted me. Although I didn't catch his name, his exceptional service left a lasting impression. He went above and beyond to help me select a room close to the water resort, which turned out to be the perfect location. Being just a short walk away from the resort made our stay even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this resort for its excellent customer service and convenient location.
-the lazy river and waterslides were closed the entire time we were here!!!! And they only tell you on signs after walking all the way to the waterpark. This was the only reason why we came here! -they did not want to drive us in the golf cart to the waterpark just stopped at the grove from the terraces and had to walk through a parking garage -they also don't say to bring the towels from your room as they don't have any at the park -its $35/person to use the wave surfer and it wasn't on all day even when the lazy river and slides were closed it wasn't free
I am staying at The Grove and this waterpark is great but a key things I noticed. First the kids splash pad isn’t heated the like the rest of the pools. I suppose if you’re visiting in summer this is ok but for those visiting in “winter”, spring, or fall this is good to know.
Tata at Long Board was so great, she is one of the best experiences here at the Grove Resort! As for the hotel - definitely recommend. The rooms are great! However, I wish there were more umbrellas available for guests to use. I understand there’s a rental option, but paying an extra $60 for two lounge chairs and one umbrella, especially when visiting with six people and after already paying for the room, feels a bit excessive. Aside from that, I will definitely consider revisiting.
