I just had the most incredible hosted staycation with my mom at The Grove Resort & Water Park ( ), a Walt Disney World Good Neighbor Hotel, and I cannot WAIT to come back with my whole family soon!
A full review is coming soon, but here are a few things you need to know:
This resort is super close to Disney (with free transportation to the parks!) but at the same time feels like an oasis once you are on property. It is so tranquil and relaxed, but there is also SO much to do, which I loved!
The Surfari Water Park is their signature attraction (for good reason) is designed for all ages with an incredible kids activity pool, a 700-foot lazy river, and two water slides. My mom and I spent 6 hours there and could have stayed even longer! It is so clean, had plenty of lifeguards, and tons of lounge chairs and seating options.
If you are feeling adventurous, you can even surf on their Flowrider Double Surf Simulator! I had to give it a try, and it was so so fun! I couldn’t believe I was able to actually get the hang of it! The instructors are so helpful and encouraging and talk you through the whole process.
More to come, but all in a 10/10 experience!
Thank you so much for hosting my mom and I this week! We will see you VERY soon ☺️!
