Orlando's MEGA Villa: 12BR, Pool, Spa, Disney Close!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving HEADFIRST into the behemoth that is Orlando's MEGA Villa: 12BR, Pool, Spa, Disney Close! This isn't just a review, it's a full-blown experience report, complete with my unfiltered thoughts, the good, the bad, and the oh-so-slightly-stained. I'm talking about the kind of review that makes you feel like you're practically there, wrestling with the remote control and dodging rogue pool noodles.
First Impressions & The "OMG-It's-Huge" Factor
Let's be real, the sheer size of this place is legitimately intimidating. Twelve bedrooms? Are we planning a small country summit? My first impression? "Woah." And the second? "Where the heck is the bathroom?" (Spoiler alert: there's probably one in every room AND like, five more floating around the general vicinity.) The exterior? Classic Florida "big house, with a view of a palm tree or two," it's got that "I'm vacationing!" vibe down pat.
Accessibility: Navigating the Labyrinth (and My Own Two Feet)
Okay, so accessibility is a crucial thing, and I'm glad to see this villa has some thought put into it. While I don't personally use a wheelchair, I poked around with a critical eye. Facilities for disabled guests are listed, which is a good start. I'm assuming this means ramps, perhaps grab bars in bathrooms, and hopefully a wider turning radius in the hallways (because, again, HUGE). The elevator is essential, especially with a multi-level property. The air conditioning in public areas is non-negotiable in Florida, and thank goodness for that! It's essential to make sure this mega villa is comfortable for everyone. Now, I didn't see it on location, but it's worth confirming the access and availability of the visual alarm. If these things are available, great! Moving On, The Fun Stuff! - The "Treat Yo' Self" Corner
This is where the MEGA Villa truly shines. Let's talk Swimming pool [outdoor] – because, DUH. And the Pool with view? Yes, please! Picture it: me, sprawled on a sun lounger, cocktail precariously balanced… bliss.
But hold your horses, because we also have a Spa! And, according to the list, a Sauna! Steamroom! My inner goddess is practically screaming with joy. I'm visualizing a Body scrub, Body wrap, and Massage… Okay, I'm getting ahead of myself. But the Foot bath is the cherry on top.
Food, Glorious Food! (and the Endless Snack Options)
Alright, let's talk Dining, drinking, and snacking. This area is massive, so there is a lot to mention.
- Restaurants: There are a few, which is awesome, so you don't have to leave the villa to get food. I was excited to read that they have an A la carte in restaurant, Asian cuisine in restaurant and International cuisine in the restaurant.
- Bars: Of course! They have a Bar and Poolside bar! Which is great for those late-night cocktails. They even have a Happy hour.
- Breakfast & Snacks: Breakfast [buffet]? Love it! Plus, they have Breakfast takeaway service, so you can grab a quick meal and head out to the parks. There is also a Snack bar!
- Other Things: They also have a Coffee shop. You can also have Room service [24-hour]! Desserts in restaurant, Salad in restaurant, and Soup in restaurant are included. And lastly, they have a Vegetarian restaurant, for more health conscience customers.
Cleanliness & Safety: Because Germs are NOT on Vacation With Us
In a post-pandemic world, this is HUGE. The fact that they talk about Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Rooms sanitized between stays, and Professional-grade sanitizing services is a massive relief. They also offer Room sanitization opt-out available, so you can customize your experience. Staff trained in safety protocol is also great. And of course, Hand sanitizer is available. Individually-wrapped food options and Safe dining setup are also a plus. It's all about peace of mind, people!
The Nitty-Gritty: Services and Conveniences (and Finding the Ironing Board)
This is where the MEGA Villa gets seriously impressive. From the Air conditioning in public area (thank you, sweet baby Jesus) to Cash withdrawal (essential for those souvenir emergencies), they've thought of everything. Then the list of amazing services continues with Concierge, and a Convenience store (for those midnight snack runs…again). Also, they have Daily housekeeping, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Facilities for disabled guests, and Food delivery.

Let's Talk About Disney (Because, Duh)
"Disney Close" is a HUGE selling point. Driving to the parks won't be a total drag, and you can actually enjoy a decent amount of sleep!
The (Slightly) Annoying Stuff (Because Nothing's Perfect)
Okay, let’s get real. Here are some of the potential downsides:
- The sheer size. It's a double-edged sword. Amazing, yes, but also…a lot of space to clean. And maybe a bit too much room for family drama.
- The crowds. You're sharing the pool with a bunch of other people.
- The price. This isn't a budget option. You're paying for the luxury, the space, and the proximity to Disney.
My Verdict: Should You Book?
Absolutely. If you're traveling with a large group, especially families, this place is a game changer. It's the perfect blend of freedom, fun, and the ability to escape the chaos of theme park life…even if only for a few hours.

Radisson Blu Belo Horizonte: Savassi's Luxury Escape!Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're heading to Bella Vida, that ridiculously opulent 12-bedroom monstrosity in Orlando. Seriously, this place practically screams "I came to slay!" even if I'm more likely to resemble a slightly frazzled flamingo by the end of it. This is not your perfectly curated, Instagram-filtered holiday, folks. This is REAL LIFE. Prepare for chaos.
Bella Vida Blowout: A Week of Unfiltered Mayhem
Day 1: Arrival & The Great Grocery Gauntlet
- Morning (Like, REALLY morning): Ugh. That pre-dawn flight. Woke up before the birds. Seriously, who designs flights that early? Dragged myself, the kids (who are already bickering, naturally), and suitcases the size of small cars through the airport. Jet lag? Oh, it's already kicking my butt.
- Afternoon: Finally, the holy grail: Bella Vida! And it IS impressive. The pool looks like something out of a James Bond movie. Kids are already screaming about the water slide. But hold on a sec… Where's that massive suitcase?! (cue: Minor panic attack). Found it. Right, let's get unpacked…and then locate the nearest caffeine IV drip.
- Late Afternoon: The Grocery Run from Hell. Seriously, this is where the true vacation experience begins. "Mom, I'm HUNGRY!" "Are we THERE yet?" "He's breathing my air!" – Yup, classic road trip soundtrack. Managed to navigate the aisles of a gigantic Publix, locate all the necessary snacks (because, let's be honest, that's the real reason we're here), and somehow escape with our sanity (mostly).
- Evening: Pool time! The kids are finally happy, splashing and shrieking. I, on the other hand, am attempting to look glamorous while secretly worrying about sunscreen application. (Did I get the backs of their necks?). My partner is already on cocktail duty. This is what vacation is all about, friends. This. Is. It.
Day 2: Disney Dreams (and Disney Disasters)
- Morning: Disney Day! The kids are bouncing off the walls with excitement. Me? I'm fueled by coffee and sheer willpower. The park is…well, it's Disney. Overwhelming, chaotic, but undeniably magical.
- Mid-Morning: The first ride: Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. The anticipation! The giddy laughter! Followed by the sudden, horrifying realization that my phone is GONE. (Cue more panic!) Retraced every step, finally found it on the bench. Crisis averted. (For now.)
- Afternoon: Lunch with Mickey! The sheer joy on my youngest's face when Mickey Mouse walked over? Priceless. The cost of that lunch? Let's just say I'll be eating ramen for the next month. But hey, it was worth it. Right?
- Evening: The fireworks show. Absolutely breathtaking. Tears welled up in my eyes. It's moments like these that make all the chaos worth it. But the crowds leaving the park? Pure, unadulterated madness. We lost a shoe! Found it. Eventually. Collapse into bed, exhausted but happy.
Day 3: Resort Day and Poolside Shenanigans
- Morning: Sleep in! (At least, that’s the plan). I’m awoken by a battle of the breakfast table on the first day. I can’t imagine what will be like in the coming days.
- Afternoon: Spent almost the entire day by the pool, trying to get a tan. The water slide is the only thing keeping these children occupied. Even I had fun.
- Evening: We made it to the clubhouse, got a few rounds of mini-golf in. It's so difficult to relax when there's so many things to consider.
- Night: Everyone crashed out. It's not hard to imagine what's going to happen in the coming days.
Day 4: A Day of Rest and Recharging (ha!)
- Morning: Slept in (again!). Glorious, isn't it?
- Afternoon: Took the kids to a waterpark.
- Evening: Went back to the Villa, all tired.
Day 5: Park Hopping (and My Will to Live Fading)
- Morning: Another park.
- Afternoon: Another park.
- Evening: Disney Springs. I just want to go home.
Day 6: The Great Packing Panic & Farewell Fiesta (and More Tears)
- Morning: Packing. Packing. Packing. Why do we always bring so much stuff? Seriously, how did we accumulate so much stuff in a week? I swear, there's a whole extra suitcase full of random plastic toys.
- Afternoon: Pool party! One last hurrah before we depart. Goodbye, beautiful pool! Goodbye, sunshine! Goodbye, sanity!
- Evening: A final dinner at the villa. We all reminisce about the trip, kids sharing their fun and their parents sharing theirs.
Day 7: Departure & Post-Vacation Depression
- Morning: Goodbye, Bella Vida! One last look at that gorgeous villa, now empty and pristine. It's like a beautiful dream. The airport. The long flight. The post-vacation blues that are starting to set in.
- Afternoon: Back home. The house is a mess. Laundry awaits. Reality bites. But those memories? The smiles, the chaos, the moments of pure joy? Those? They're worth every single crazy second. Until next time, Orlando! This frazzled flamingo will be back. Eventually. Maybe.
