Guest Reviews

• Leonela (10/5): - Súper cómodos, está todo muy bien equipado, para familias sobre todo si llevas niños, está justo frente al parqueo para los que tienen vehículos propios. Zona cómoda a menos de 10 minutos de la entrada de Disney World. Me quedaré en este lugar cuando vuelva a Orlando.
• njpln (6/5): Nice resort but pool music needs to be reconsidered - Were there in March. Great location. Nice resort, older but maintained well. Easy walk to the Marriott hotel restaurants. Reason for mediocre rating. Our only complaint is the loud “club” music playing at the pool. We expected they would change up the music, but they played the same music all the days we were at the pool. Also the volume was too high for such a small pool. Was not a great or relaxing pool experience.
• uflbart (2/5): Going downhill fast - This used to be our favorite Marriott property in Orlando, but there is clearly a lack of management and maintenance currently ongoing at the property. For example, on our most recent stay, only 2 out of 6 total light bulbs in the bathroom vanity functioned. The toilet ran off and on all throughout the night at random times. The floors were filthy and sticky. The telephone in the room did not function at all. I am not sure if this was just an odd instance or if it is a property that is declining rapidly.
• missmaloym (10/5): Beautiful villas and tons of activities - Had a fantastic stay at this huge resort. Check in was quick and efficient. The villa was spacious and beautifully appointed. I really love the elegance and the calm of the decor. The master bedroom was massive with an amazing walk in shower that could fit multiple people. The beds slept very comfortably. I loved the guest room set up with both a queen and a twin bed inside the room. There was a nice, large dining and living area. Full sized appliances and washer and dryer that were in mint condition. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need for preparing food. Nice, large patio area for outside seating. The grounds were immaculate as well. Tons of activities for families to do and multiple pools and courts for basketball, tennis, etc. I highly recommend and would return.
• jose (9/5): -
• JOÃO (10/5): Sempre incrível neste hotel - Conforto do apartamento Nada a reportar
• bruno (9/5): Good for big parties! - Good location, clean and has a view to the golf course. Staff very friendly shuttle buses to main hotel takes a long time.
• Meshae (10/5): Sabal Palms is comparatively understated and yet, it was one of the best vacation experiences. - The fact that the unit was so clean, that we could actually cook and have food in the kitchen! I can't say this of the other Orlando Marriott resorts we've stayed in...they can be 'buggy'. No elevator at Sabal Palms but that's Okay if you don't have mobility challenges. We had complete access to Marriott World Orlando, and they always sent a shuttle for us between the two properties. Loved the seclusion, especially at the pool. Our unit faced the golf course and the pond WITH a patio lounger--loved watching the sunsets! All in all, Sabal Palms was more laid back and understated as opposed to big, fancy and flashy and yet, it was one of the best vacation experiences for us after two decades. We called Engineering to fix the Guest Bathroom sink, and they never really came...my husband waited an entire sunny afternoon waiting for them. Also, consider replacing the living room couches with leather sofas in the next renovation...it had a musty odor/smell.
• Leandro Pegoraro (9/5): -
• Maria (10/5): Really great stay, no complaints, will stay again in the future - Convenient location, great apartment with full kitchen, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, pool, screened patio, staff friendly, priced very fairly. Nothing we loved staying here
• Duncan (10/5): -
• Mark (10/5): Great location close to Disney Springs - Comfortable Clean and a Great location
• Lewis (9/5): -
• Ana Paula (10/5): MARAVILHOSA! Com certeza voltaremos a nos hospedar nesse hotel. - Tudo maravilhoso! Quarto lindo e enorme com diversos amenities. Limpeza impecável. Vista do quarto super bonita para um campo de golfe. A localização então, maravilhosa! Super perto de todos os parques da Disney e Universal e dos Ourlets também. os dois únicos pontos negativos: - Custo do estacionammento: achei muito caro o estacionamento. Acho que a Booking poderia deixar mais claro no anúncio dos hotéis se o estacionamento está ou não incluso e quais os valores praticados. - Recepção: o hotek fica em um grande compexo, então para quem chega tarde a recepção do Sabal já está fechada e achei bem difícil identificar o local da recepção geral do complexo.
• Amarildo (10/5): -
• Amber (10/5): Enjoyable - Worth every penny!
• roy (10/5): - שהינו 10 ימים, היה מדהים לכל המשפחה אבזור מצויין שרות מעולה מרחקים קצרים לכל האטרקציות שביקרנו. ממולץ מאוד.
• Amarildo (10/5): pleasant and relaxing. - Excellent location, clean facilities, and excellent water park. nothing to declare.
• altitude2k (4/5): Disgusting cleanliness, ignorant management - Starting with the good. The location is fantastic, really close to WDW and I-4 to head up to Universal. The complex is quiet, aside from the occasional loud curse from a golfer who's sliced off to the right, but we took that in good humour. A bit of noise from the I-4 when on the balcony, but can't be heard inside. Access to the World Center is also appreciated. Now, unfortunately, the bad. One of our children started getting bites on his skin after being there for a few days, the other child started getting them soon after. After raising our suspicions and tests being done it was confirmed that his bed was infested with bed bugs. We did an inspection on the cleanliness of the room and we found medication (pills) on the floor, lots of hair (not ours), and a plastic bottle under one of their beds containing spit chewing tobacco. The desk apologised and moved us to another room and performed a sterilisation of our belongings, which needed to be done but obviously inconvenienced us for that day. We were offered a refund of our parking charges and for one night compensation, to date neither has happened. I was asked to complete an incident report with their security team and was promised a manager would be in touch - never did. On check out we wanted to address it again with a manager and had to wait 30 minutes in the lobby for them to finally come and talk to us, after which they gave me another apology and their personal number to ensure we would be kept up to date on what was going on with the refund and the complaint - again, didn't happen and messages have been ignored. A real shame, as we could easily have seen this being a frequent return resort. But not only the lack of cleanliness but being ignored by their management has ensured we won't ever return.
• Lisa (10/5): - Easy check in, pool was awesome
• Vitor (9/5): -
• Zoe (9/5): -
• Michele (10/5): -
• Nourah (8/5): سأعيد تجربه السكن مره اخري - سهوله تسجيل الدخول والخروج الفيلا كبيره فيها جميع ما نحتاج قربه من عالم ديزني والاماكن الترفيهيه خدمه تنظيف الغرف جداً ممتازه مبلغ موقف السياره جداً مرتفع 25 دولار يوميا لا توجد خدمه التنقل للفندق الرئيسي بعد الساعه 11 مساءً
• Carlos (10/5): Worth the stay - The facility was very nice and staff was very helpful Entrance to the facility was not very nice. Entered behind hotel
• Mario (9/5): Muy bonito, cómodo y amplio - La habitación estaba muy bien A la hora que llegamos (23) la recepción cerca de las habitaciones estaba cerrada y no indicaba dónde ir para hacer el check in, tuvimos que dar varias vueltas y preguntar a un bus que pasó dónde ir y la recepción abierta estaba muy lejos
• EDUARDO (9/5): -
• GIANMARCO (9/5): - Fantastic place, extremely well maintained. Staff very supporting and helpful all the time. We had few issues that has been solved really fast.
• Hut (9/5): Uistekend, strategisch perfecte lokatie om naar Disney te gaan, Seaworld of shopping - Starbucks Afhankelijk van de hoofdlocatie Marriott welke met een shuttle bus bereikbaar is. Is op zich geen probleem, maar dit had misschien ook bij Sabal Palms gekund.
• Ronit (10/5): The best one - Excellent place for family. Big apartment, clean, great staff and service. Close with 15 min. Driving to Disney and Universal parks. 7 min from Walmart
• Farida (8/5): Fabuleux - Très bel hôtel appartement spacieux très bien équipé Piscine et salle de fitness très bien équipé Rien
• sallyaJ3061UL (10/5): Highly highly recommended - Would give 100 stars if I could. Beautiful accommodation - clean, spacious and has all the household appliances you could need. Not sure how often housekeeping is as we don’t use it. There were soooo many towels and I just threw them in the washer when necessary. There is a washer and dryer - priceless for us. Fully functional kitchen. Fantastic walk in massive shower off main bedroom. The grounds are well manicured and spotless. Great position for all shops and all Disney Parks. Bit too far from Universal. Will absolutely definitely return here in the future.
• Herbert (10/5): - Condo was fantastic
• David (10/5): Quiet comfortable and great location - The property was really clean, quiet and pool area was never busy. The apartment was spacious and really well equipped. Location is perfect for shopping and getting on to the i4 to get to parks etc. Nothing
• Ian (10/5): -
• Kevin (10/5): Exceptional - it was wonderful! nothing to add. maybe the gym could be bigger.
• Natalie (10/5): Really great property and location. Facilities were excellent - Great property and location. The pool is fab
• Elaine (8/5): Very good -
• Nelson (10/5): - Great property for families with access to hotel amenities
• Laura (8/5): Very good -
• Elizabeth (9/5): Superb -
• mattgZ9701XL (10/5): A decent stay very quiet - Another vacation club, all the usual high quality rooms with all the facilities provided in the room. Decent pool area, very limited gym so had to go out to Kissimmee muscle but you can use the larger gym from the other hotel close by. Nothing offered for kids really but the location is great for Disney and universal. Good stay
• Howard (7/5): Good -
• Carissa (10/5): - Loved the huge rooms and quieter than the main hotel but still access to all amenities of resort
• Lukas (10/5): - Team was very kind and friendly
• Joseph (10/5): We would stay again !! - The dry coming in is a little confusing, but other than that was not bad at all I’m sure if you have access to all the different Marriotts there was fantastic the waterslide park and everything else
• Peyton (9/5): Superb -
• Samantha (10/5): - This is such a great property. We’ve stayed here multiple times and it’s one of our favorites for a staycation. Would highly recommend.
• Angela (9/5): We had a really lovely holiday and would definitely be looking to return. - Excellent location for parks, shops/malls and local attractions. The swimming pools were excellent and grill/barbecue facilities great. Apartment was very comfortable with great appliances. Second bedroom was a little small. Front porch light which remains on at night shines in through shower glass wall, so some way of screening that would be good. It would be nice if the running track/walking path could meander more around the golf course or whole property rather than the current one which is a bit more through car park/roads.
• Ahmad Khalil (10/5): - Great place. Home away from home. Fully equiped kitchen. Villa spacious. Shuttle to marriott world center where you can have multiple dinning options. Close to parks. Nice and quiet after a busy day come to a relaxing place. No resort and parking fees is a plus. Staff very nice. You have access to activities and pool at Marriot Wotld center.
• Arun (9/5): Superb -
• Amar (10/5): - The girl whose name was samantha made us feel very welcome to me and my service dog and gf
• Ronald (10/5): Exceptional -
• Penshurst20 (10/5): Great place and near Disney - Excellent accommodation. Very high standard villa. Staff really friendly and helpful. Pool area nice and quiet. Well equipped gym. Great location near all Disney parks. Can also access the main Marriott World Center as part of your stay (water park costs extra), though the main hotel is much busier. Minor drawback is the drive into the hotel. You have to drive past the back of the main Marriott World Center with garbage trucks and staff car parks on show. They could solve this easily with some trees. Would definitely return next time in Orlando.
• Jason (10/5): - My favorite property I’ve ever stayed at in the Disney area. Can’t wait to come back!
• Elsine (9/5): Superb -
• Scott (10/5): Fantastic accommodation and great location - Recently renovated and better than the pictures Nothing

• David (10/5): Exceptional -

• Michele (10/5): - Very pleasant environment! Personnel are extremely responsive and kind. We would definitely stay here again.
• Stuart (8/5): - Ideal location for easy driving to Disney etc. Good 2 bedroom space for family too
• X802SYalisonb (10/5): email address required - Hello Saba Palms I am enquiring to see if you have an email address we can contact you on regarding a future reservation for 3 rooms in July/August 2025 we are struggling to find you and wanted to make some enquires please for a family of 7 if you wouldnt mind sending this to us
• Silvia (10/5): Relaxing, quiet and extremely attentive to every detail. - We are very pleased with the attention we received from Glenda. She was attentive, cordial and patient with us and very accommodating. The housekeeping service was on point. Thank you so much. N/A
• Ibrahim (10/5): Exceptional - Great staff and location and clean facilities The master room and bathroom has no doors in between them
• Jason (10/5): - Great spot! Easy to get in and out. Free parking and no resort fees!
• lyssas902 (10/5): Best Villa in Orlando - I could not say more positive things about my stay. Sabal Palms was the perfect stay for me and my siblings for our disney trip. We did not use many of the amenities Marriot offered since we spent our days at the park but it was great to come back to a villa with a full kitchen and a washer/dryer to do laundry on our own. Housekeeping doesn't come every day but that was fine for our group. Sabal Palms felt like it was in the middle of all the Orlando attractions, we never drove more than 20 minutes to get to a disney park. The shower in the primary is the best part of the room - we looked forward jumping in there after our long days! Highly recommend if staying in Orlando with a big group and people like to spread out and decompress in separate rooms after a long day.
• Gary (9/5): Superb -
• Alana (9/5): Superb - We stayed in an apartment, a spacious 2 bedroom apartment with lounge with views over the golf course. Access to the world centre Marriott facilities including 2 pools and swim park with rides and lazy river. Lots of sports facilities and entertainment for kids and adults. Laser show every evening. The traffic noise from the motorway. It was a busy road. Ask for apartment facing away from motorway.
• Joremi (8/5): A place of tranquility - The tranquility of the hotel's surroundings is truly remarkable, with an abundance of trees and lush greenery enhancing the atmosphere. Additionally, the spaciousness of the rooms further contributes to a serene and comfortable experience for guests. The hotel's willingness to consider a late checkout. The receptionist informed that it ultimately couldn't be accommodated due to housekeeping schedules.
• أيمن (9/5): Great - Great villa and beds’s size, landscape and services. The villa is equipped by everything including the minor amenities. I would come again and again to the same place. The cleanliness, definitely such place should be cleaned in a better and frequency. The carpets and shelves are full of dust
• Luis (1/5): The hotel has a great location but the service is terrible, the don’t clean the rooms and the worst part is that the sto - Great location The steal your things
• Lisa (10/5): - Loved the condo! 2 bed/2 bath, spacious and spotless. All the comforts of home. There is a shuttle to the World Marriott which has lots of dining/bar options along with two Starbucks. The Sabal Palms has a lovely pool area, a little mini market with the essentials and then some. Room is fully equipped and comes with a starter set of coffee/tea/creamer/sugar. We were 10-15 mins from all the parks and used Lyft to get back and forth, all very easy.
• Brad (10/5): Exceptional -
• Marvin (10/5): We first stayed at the marriott world center in 1987 - 1992 then we have stayed at the Sabal Palms every year since thi - Location, golf, facility's, everything was awesome!! Nothing
• Kirt (10/5): We enjoyed the patio overlooking the golf course with coffee in the morning. -
• Saud (8/5): Very good -
• Keisha (10/5): - The room was amazing and the property was well maintained and managed!
• GrandelaU (10/5): Clean and affordable. Great location. Few hotel amennities - Great villa for family. In a clean and very affordable. Has the basic to have a great time at orlando. Free parking is great. Wifi. Great. Tvs. Great. Air condition. Great. Well equiped. Great view to golf court. It would be great to have shuttles to airport.
• Eric Freitas (10/5): - Very good for a family vacation
• Lisa631 (10/5): Excellent Stay - We just stayed at Sabal Palms with our 2 sons ages 20 and 23. We booked the 2 bedroom / 2 bath villa and were pleased with the amount of space this unit offered. Each bedroom had its own TV as well as a large TV in the living room. Fully Equipped Kitchen and washer dryer. We used the pool and the hot tub which was behind our unit. We walked to the Starbucks in the Marriott World which was a 5 min walk. We could have used that pool too but opted not to , although it looked nice. The villa has been updated /renovated but the footprint is older. 2 steps down to living room and 2 steps up to master bath ( the steps were illuminated by a small light ) Beds were on the firmer side but comfortable. We drove to Epcot and Disney Springs which was literally 5 mins by car once you got out of the Marriott lot. It’s a weird entrance to get to the Palms check in building only because the place is surrounded by golf courses. We really had no complaints.
• Maureen (10/5): Great stay - Amazing place! We will defend be back. Great location and super easy to Uber back and forth to Disney parks
• G13BEmikel (10/5): Excellent stay - We had a pleasant six night stay at the Sabal Palms. We asked for a ground floor quiet unit, which was what we got, close to the reception building and path to the World Center. Being second from the end our view was partially blocked by the next block, but it did not matter at this time of year. The unit was exceptionally well fitted out, with plenty of kitchen equipment. We asked for dishwasher tablets and washing powder, which was brought quickly by housekeeping. The furniture was of good quality, and the master bed was very comfortable. The shower was amazing! A large television with access to connect to Prime TV etc. The very helpful maintenance engineer (Ernie?) helped us open the patio doors. We hadn’t spotted there was a security bar to unlatch! The only complaint was the dirty window, which looks like it has an accumulation of green mould from rainwater. Why this can’t be cleaned in a resort of this quality is unacceptable. See photo. Apart from this small complaint we had a wonderful stay at this quiet resort away from the madness of the big hotels.
• df0411 (2/5): Unfortunate experience here. - This came with great reviews but it is run down (see photos) and not run well. We ended up with no hot water and couldn’t finish showering. It took a long time for maintenance to try to fix it. The pool slides at the main hotel randomly aren’t opened and staff here don’t actually give you information. We waited over an hour for the slide to open and kept asking staff until someone finally let us know that the slides weren’t opening at the main pool but we were welcome to pay $20 per person at the small park. This was pretty disappointing and wasted a good amount of our vacation time. We also asked for late check out early on and we’re told the last day that no more were available. The staff “made note” but didn’t do anything to address the concerns.
• Nancy M (10/5): - We had a wonderful time your staff was great!!
• Danny (10/5): Exceptional - All good, great location, better than the world center
• Stephen (10/5): The old saying is right you only get what you pay for - The staff are brilliant so helpful
• Chie (10/5): - Beautiful view of golf course and very specious.
• JANET (10/5): - These are beautiful large villas with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms all with views over the golf course. Very clean and modern and easy access to the swimming pool. You can also use the facilities at the Marriott Hotel in the same grounds. It takes approx. 5 minutes to drive to Disney Springs. This is our 3rd stay at the Sabal Palms.
• patricksB9980VN (8/5): A Quiet Getaway Near Disney - My family and I stayed here for 2 nights in late August during a short Disney trip. Normally we stay on Disney property but since we were only visiting for a short stay, we took a gamble on this place and I am glad that we did. I'll start with some pros 1. The staff: The staff at this resort, and all throughout the Marriott World Center Property, were all exceptionally pleasant and helpful. They went out of our way to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. At check-in, the front desk associate made sure we had a room close to the pool and playground for our family. 2. The rooms/space: The room we stayed in was a 2 bedroom, 2 bath, full kitchen, dining area, and living room. It has seen a relatively recent remodel and did not feel dated or old. Kitchen was well stocked and clean. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out without being on top of one another. There are a couple of steps leading down from the kitchen to the main living room so be careful if you have little kids. We were on the second floor and there are no elevators. It wasn't such a big deal for us but wanted to put that out there for other prospective guests. 3. The atmosphere/amenities: While the main hotel at the World Center is very loud and dare I say chaotic, Sabal Palms was very quiet and peaceful. It did not seem very busy, which we liked. Also the pool was quiet as well. It never seemed very crowded and we often had the entire pool to ourselves. Additionally from 4-5 PM on the day we checked in, one of the other Marriott Vacation Club Properties at the World Center was having free hot dogs and local craft beers. Anyone staying at the Vacation Club properties could attend. There was live music as well and we had a blast. 4. Location: Very close to Disney World. You do not need to get on the highway if you do not want to and all of the parks are super close. EPCOT is maybe 5-10 minuets away and MK is maybe 10-15 minutes. Super convenient to be that close to the Disney bubble. Now for some minor cons 1. Distance to the main World Center Hotel: Sabal Palms is tucked way from the main hotel. It's about a 15 minute walk up to the main hotel if you want to use their pool. They do run a shuttle service from the vacation club properties to the main hotel. Getting to the main hotel was easy however leaving was another story. While we were there, there was a large convention leaving and another one arriving. This made the entrance in front of the hotel a chaotic nightmare. Cars were parked in front of the hotel and nobody could move/leave. After getting on the shuttle to go back to the room it probably took us 20 minutes before we were actually clear of the front entrance. The staff tried their best to manage it but there was only so much they could do. Our shuttle driver said this amount of traffic is pretty normal. So if you go to the main hotel to use the pool, just know it could be some time before the shuttle is actually able to pick you up and take you back. 2. Lack of Access to all World Center Amenities: While you have access to the main World Center pool, you do not get access to the Water Park. We knew this ahead of time but if we are staying on property, I feel that Vacation Club should have access. Also the kids splash pad and slides at the main pool were closed at 6:30 PM, while the rest of the pool remained open. Not sure why those amenities closed early but it was kind of a let down we couldn't use them. Conclusion: Marriott Sabal Palms is definitely a property we would stay at again. It was overall a positive experience with a few minor inconveniences that can be easily overlooked. Next time I am not sure I would venture up to the main hotel due to the chaotic nature of the entrance and the hotel itself. We would probably just stick around Sabal Palms and have a quiet relaxing experience.
• Mohamed (8/5): Very good -
• taia2013 (8/5): Quiet hideaway - Small but quiet and beautiful. Was near a golf course so brilliant for me as a golfer. The tennis court and basketball was a bit tired and dilapidated, hence you have to go to imperial to play. But close to Marriott where the swimming pool and slides are great
• Andrea (10/5): Exceptional -
• sallymali (10/5): Loved it here - Will definitely return - Loved the location. Near enough to the Disney Parks - Epcot only 10 mins away, MK 20 mins drive away. But away from the hustle and bustle, as did not want to be in the Disney bubble. Could hear the I4, but wasn't very loud to think how close the road is. The swimming pool is very quiet, sometimes deserted. The site kept us up to date with the pool closures due to storms via text, which was very handy. Went to the hotel next door once, what a let down! It is impossible to navigate around and get bearings. Went to local Publix supermarket to stock up with food. If anyone is wary about how to get to the location, it is very easy. Google Maps will take you directly to the door - just do your due diligence before and use the dropped pin and street view to scope it out ready. Apartment was very large, and with everything you needed in it. Beds very comfy indeed. Cleaned every 2 days. Large fridge/freezer & laundry appliances. Excellent wifi. Only issue was that the windows are really showing their age and need replacing (gaps). Cross fingers that they are sorted before a hurricane hits the resort.
• W637DCdavidb (10/5): Winter getaway - Great place to relax and enjoy Florida weather when it's winter up north. We've been escaping to here for several years. It's well maintained and has a friendly staff. Short walk over to the hotel to take advantage of restaurants, shops, and more. We love going back every year.
