Encantada Resort
Encantada in Spanish means "enchanted" and that is a great word to describe the feeling one gets when they visit this first class resort and spa in Orlando. The Encantada Resort is quite unique. The developers took the best of a hotel and blended it with first class 3 and 4 bedroom town homes each with their own private pool. Here a family can enjoy all of the comforts of home and be only two miles to Disney World for the nightly rate of a moderate hotel.
"Value" is the key to this resort. When one considers the three bedroom town homes have over 1,400 sq. ft. of first class living space plus two full bathrooms and a fully functional kitchen, there is simply no way a hotel can compare. Further, theEncantada Resort
offers the same amenities as popular orlando hotels with such features as a lounge, two heated pools, huge game room for the kids, pool tables, fitness center, internet café, and wireless connections in the huge club house. All of the great amenities are here!As Bill Usker from Ottawa Canada said… "WOW! Is what I can say about the Encantada Resort Spa.
We spent 7 days there with my children this spring. The location was excellent and the villa itself was gorgeous in all respects…it was great to return home after a full day at Disney World."
Location is important to any vacationer. Who wants to stay close to the action and in Orlando that would be near Disney World. The Encantada Resort is located only 2 blocks from the brand new 429 Turnpike, and one can drive just a short two minutes and find themselves at the entrance to Disney’s Maingate.
But proximity to the parks is just one benefit, look at the restaurants that Encantada is near: Waffle House, McDonalds, Red Lobster, Cracker Barrel, IHOP, Denny’s, Western Sizzler Steak House, Florino New York Pizza, Golden Corral, Dunkin Donuts, Friday's, Outback Steak House, Subway, Taco Bell, Burger King, Bob Evans, and Holihans to name a few. If you choose to go out for lunch or dinner, Encantada is well situated near a myriad of fine eateries.
The Clubhouse where the front desk is located is huge... one of the largest I have ever been in...9,000 sq feet! Here one can find a computer room with 7 computers, workout facilities, game room complete with a huge pool table, lounge, and consierge services.
Now, the real treat is the fishing lake located in the center of the property. The lake was stocked with bass some time ago, and many have dropped their line to catch a 3 lb bass. The only restriction is that if you fish and catch, you must release. By the way, you do not need a Florida fishing license to fish in this private lake. You just bring your own pole or you can buy one at the nearby WalMart.
Taking a look at the individual units was fun. I first noticed that all of the units were furnished the same. This is a first to my knowledge. As Joel Ibanez the general manager explained, "we sell each unit to an investor completely furnished, therefore, we can maintain the high standards of the resort." I liked this feature. If I was looking at a villa or town home to rent, I want to see the actual unit that my family would be staying in. As Joel said, "exactly, this way when we talk to a possible client we can show them what their bedrooms will look like as well as the kitchen and other living areas... all units are the same in every way."
Speaking of the kitchen, we found it to be fully equipped with all of the glassware, dishes, silverware, and pots and pans a family of four to six would need. In each unit, we found the refrigerator to be quite large along with the stove and oven, dishwasher, toaster, and coffee maker.
All in all, we rate the Encantada Resort in Kissimmee an A+ due to its superb location, its sumptuous manicured grounds, its first class decorative units, and its ability to take a hotel to a whole new plateau. It will offer your family a truly "enchanted" vacation.
