Hotels with Bars in Cypress Gardens

My school-aged kids loved it. We had a basic room, but there was plenty of theming and space. The kids bunk area was awesome. Beds were comfortable and room was very clean. While the disco elevators are fun, we took the stairs some, which were wide and spacious... and themed! The service is phenomenal. From the front desk to the water park guards to the food staff. The lobby in the evenings can be incredibly loud as kids have the pajama party, but after 10pm, the place is wonderfully quiet. We borrowed Lego-themed early readers from the front desk's ”library” and also did a Master Builder class (sign up before you arrive or try to snap up last minute spot at your own risk). It was all so easy. This isn't Disney in the best way... no crazy advanced planning required. Just go and enjoy the family time! A note -- There is a Publix across the street. We stopped in for essentials, like snacks and a bottle of wine for the grownups to enjoy after the kids went to bed. We also did not eat dinner on property any night because we needed a break from the Lego-insanity. There are good locally owned restaurants nearby.
