This is an old favourite of Virgin Holidaymakers and you'll soon see why. It's right in the middle of International Drive, the main entertainment centre in Orlando, so it's in a great location to explore the shops, bars and restaurants that line this popular road. It's also ridiculously easy to find, as it's next to the world's largest McDonald's! On top of that, it is just a 5-min drive to Universal Orlando Resort with all those fantastic roller coasters, special effects and 3D rides. Full-on buffet breakfasts and dinners are served in the hotel's Apothecary Restaurant, and they have some very special discounts, exclusively for you. There's also a Lite Bite Deli for a snack on the run, and you'll find a lively evening atmosphere in the Topsy-Turvy Lounge where you can shoot pool and dance to the jukebox until 2.00am. The rooms are well presented and comfortable including things like a fridge, microwave and coffee maker, so you can store your own refreshing cold drinks and make snacks for hungry kids! There are 2 swimming pools just waiting for you to leap into after a hard day's theme parking!
