Pro:
- Solterra resort staff were so nice!
- we did read that staff at gate was slow, we didn’t have a problem at all with this! Maybe they put in a new system? We were given guest passes on day 1, had them ready to show the gate attendant and in we went!
- toys, board games, pool toys were a huge hit with are little ones!
- traveled with 8 people, plenty of space for everyone
- Pool was amazingly clean and well taken care of, gentleman even knocked and nicely told us to not enter the pool for an hour (chemicals)
- pictures don’t show this but the pool does have a children safety gate! Sliding door has a not so friendly child lock HUGE PLUS!
- whenever you open the front door, garage door, sliding door to pool, master door to pool.. the alarm inside the house announces this till the door is closed! HUGE safety feature for kids!
-WiFi was fast and accessible in every room of the house!
-every tv is Netflix friendly, leave your firestick at home! (Just remember to log off your account before leaving)
-only bed someone said wasn’t great was the downstairs master, unless someone in your party likes an extremely soft mattress
- baby gear was adequate, high chairs, utensils, plates, sippy cups, smaller stroller, pack n play
-community pool was amazing, the kids both old and young loved the slide, it’s in part of the pool at 3ft and a few inches. 5 year old friendly with an adult at the bottom for supervision!
-Both couches were very comfortable, upstairs living space does have a sleeper sofa as well!
-pool towels are provided!
-entrance to house is a keypad entrance, very handy!
- we rented a few things for our stay ex. Medical child’s stroller, delivery was simple and efficient.
Con:
- no pot holders, we were there 14 days... we hunted and nothing
- no pizza pan, pizza cutter, no pan
- 1 washcloth per bathroom
- AC can’t be set below 74 degrees
- NO on demand water heater, it is a larger water heater but we had to stagger shower times for 8 people, not fun especially coming in from the pool or day at the parks! (Yes, we learned this lesson the hard way)
- needs a new broom, one was present but it’s past it’s prime
- The resort this house is in is being built! A lot of houses and streets are open projects, they aren’t gated or closed off. While out for walks you will notice them and it’s loud, scary, and quite unsafe.
- takes about 25-40 min to get to and from Disney with 4 traffic
