Paradise Palms Resort vacation rentals

It's a smaller, older community with mostly townhomes rather than large detached villas, so nightly rates sit lower — while still giving you a gated resort, clubhouse, slide pool and tiki bar.

Most have a private screened splash pool in the rear courtyard, separate from the clubhouse pool. Every listing states whether the home has one and whether it can be heated.

Up to about fourteen in one home. Beyond that we'd point you to Reunion or ChampionsGate — or book two neighbouring Paradise Palms homes together.

Two to five minutes from almost every home. It's the most compact resort we work with, which is a real advantage with small children.

A large lagoon-style community pool with a waterfall, covered grotto and water slide, two hot tubs, a separate children's pool and a licensed tiki bar and grill. Indoors there is a free movie theatre, an arcade and games room, a gym with a sauna, and a sundry shop. Tennis, basketball and volleyball courts sit outside.

No. Paradise Palms has a large lagoon-style pool with a waterfall, a grotto and a water slide, but no lazy river and no water park. If a lazy river is what your group wants, Storey Lake, ChampionsGate, Windsor Island and Windsor at Westside all have one.

It is the resort we suggest when budget matters most. The amenity set is smaller than Reunion or Encore, but the drive to Disney is shorter than most and the nightly cost is lower. For a family spending most of the week in the parks, that trade usually works out well.

Roughly five miles, usually about ten minutes by car — the resort describes itself as just minutes from Disney. It also publishes seventeen miles to Universal Orlando, which is around half an hour depending on I-4 traffic.

Yes — the resort makes a point of it being free to use, which is not universal. It sits in the clubhouse alongside the arcade and games room, the gym and the lounge, so there is somewhere to go on a wet afternoon without spending anything.

Ours run from four to six bedrooms, mostly townhomes and smaller pool homes. It is the smallest of our resorts by inventory, so availability moves quickly — filtering by your dates is the fastest way to see what is genuinely open.

Yes, a fitness centre in the clubhouse with a sauna alongside it. There are also tennis, basketball and volleyball courts outdoors if you would rather be in the Florida air than on a treadmill.

A licensed tiki bar and grill serves the pool deck, and the clubhouse has a sundry shop and deli for essentials and light food. For a proper grocery shop the nearest Publix is around two miles away, about five minutes by car.

Some do and some use the resort pool complex instead — the mix here leans more towards townhomes than at our larger resorts. The counts at the top of this page are live, so they tell you exactly how many of our current Paradise Palms homes have their own pool.

Yes, and the clubhouse has a staffed reception and concierge desk. Your party's name goes on the gate list before you arrive, which we arrange when your booking is confirmed.
