It is the new era of road trips and Florida is attracting vacationers unable to fulfill their international trips and desperate to escape the routines of working from home.  One of Florida’s not-so-hidden attractions is Disney World.  It’s family friendliness and sunny year round weather will keep it on the top of many domestic destination bucket lists.

While Disney resorts offer some great extra perks they won’t work for every traveller. That is where we turn to the Disney Good Neighbor hotel properties.  The Melia Orlando is in this category and offers some pretty great amenities to it’s guests.

Today’s guest, offers a review on the Melia Orlando Resort is Therese Chu – Bermudez.  Therese was recently on the property as a part of a new program to attract travel advisors to their brand.  She is a stickler for rules and the perfect reviewer to notice all the details about the new hygiene standards.

Therese gives the Melia Orlando a 5 start rating for their sanitization standards.  From sanitizing shoes, to QR codes at the dining facilities, they have a well thought out systems in place at the Melia Orlando. Everything is sealed from the exterior hotel door to each internal cabinet in the kitchens.

Some nice perks of this group friendly resort is it is dog friendly, this includes a dog park with designated rooms close to the park. There is a gap policy of 48 hours between guests occupying a room.  Use privileges in the gym across the street st Advent Health.  Newly, coming are fitness rooms with advance equipment such as Peloton bikes.

Sadly the pool bar is not open!  But don’t worry, the lobby bar is!
