Melia Orlando Celebration

I had a wonderful experience at Meliá Orlando Celebration. The hotel is beautiful, very clean, and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. The rooms were comfortable and well maintained, and the overall atmosphere was relaxing and welcoming. I was very satisfied with my stay and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the Orlando area. I look forward to coming back!

The Melia has been our go to hotel over the last four years. Its position puts you on the right side of Disney to make getting to theme parks and attractions easy without the traffic queues. Close to Celebration town makes it ideal for using restaurants there we like. The Tavern is a must on every visit. This year we have had two stays before and after cruising. Sadly the hotel is just not keeping up with general maintenance of rooms. They are really showing their age now. The dark furniture is knocked and worn. There was a new dining table and chairs but seemed out of place with the rest of the room. The kitchen cabinets all looking very worn although practical and good storage. The bathroom is big but lacks hand rails for the bath making it difficult to get in and out. The shower head is high with no hand attachment .. no shower caps provided. To make sure to have your room cleaned and serviced it’s advisable to ask at reception otherwise it may not get done and no fresh towels. No cloths are provided for the sink area in the kitchen or paper towel. We had no dishwasher powder for two days. Making washing crockery a problem. The toaster will trigger the smoke alarm if you use it on the counter. We had to plug in by the balcony door. We will be looking for newer better alternative accommodation for our next visit. Sadly Melia are just not keeping up with room renovations. We got a good deal on room rate during the Black Friday sales but the additional $36 nightly room tax makes a significant difference overall. Our welcoming email said we should receive a free breakfast with one paying guest. On arrival we were informed this isn’t available because the Wilson restaurant is not part of the Melia hotel. Our Melia loyalty earned us more points but we will be using them at another destination in the future.

The staff couldn’t have been nicer but the room and some amenities of the hotel were lacking. The exercise room was laughable, with only one working machine. The ice machine was down our entire stay despite letting them know it wasn’t working. Our rooms were not in the best shape with old, worn out furniture. Our wrist band keys stopped working before our stay ended so a trip back to the from desk to get new bands. Those are just some of our experiences.

Great hotel with fabulous staff, especially Jenifer from reception/ customer relations and David round the pool! Location was great too with amenities just across the road a short walk and the parks a 10-20 minute uber ride! The rooms all had huge fridge and cooking facilities so you can cater for the little ones too! 5 stars will stay again

Room was a little outdated, but nothing stopping us from staying or being comfortable. We stayed in a 1 bedroom King suite with a balcony overlooking the pool. The large king bed was comfy and the sofa in the living room had a fold out couch perfect for our 9 year old. There was a small kitchen with dishwasher, stove and full fridge/freezer combo along with dishes/silverware/pots and pans needed for basic meal prep. A small coffee pot was also in the kitchen where coffee and sugar were provided. Coffee was okay quality, not great but got the job done and house keeping was quick and accommodating when we called asking for more. The hotel was near a lot of restaurants about 5min drive away and about 15-30mins from Universal depending on traffic. We also found a nice playground for our kids to play on about 10mins away. The pool was great and ice water, towels and pool lounge chairs/tables provided. Overall, it worked for us, but if you are looking for 5 star luxury, this is not it.
