Overview
Keep in mind that this Kissimmee, Florida, hotel is about 5 miles away from the Walt Disney World area, which may be a deal-breaker for families. But on the plus side, it won't take you too long to reach the parks by car or via the resort's theme park shuttle (which is covered by the daily resort fee), and those not interested in the theme park fanfare will be far enough from Mickey's hoopla to enjoy a restful stay. Previous guests appreciated the convenient location, as well as the amenities offered for working travelers. The Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center features a business center and several meeting rooms, plus it's only 19 miles southwest of Orlando International Airport. Take your pick between the standard guest rooms or the Emerald Bay guest rooms, differentiated by their distinct decor. No matter which room you choose, you'll find a flat-screen TV, a coffee maker and free (albeit slow) Wi-Fi access. The property also houses a swimming pool, a water park, a spa and six distinct eateries, plus a coffee house and a frozen yogurt shop. And since the hotel is part of the Marriott brand, Marriott Rewards members can use or earn points here.

Critic Reviews
Built in the style of a grand turn-of-the-20th-century Florida resort, this huge building is meant to inspire awe: inside its enormous atrium, covered by a 4-acre glass roof, are re-creations of Florida destination icons such as the Everglades, Key West, and old St. Augustine. Vast meeting spaces mean lots of conventioneers, but families are definitely not ignored.
Taking theme-park flair to a hospitality extreme, the colossal atrium of Gaylord Palms is like a big top for eye candy.
The expansive grounds are accented with colorful and well-manicured landscaping, which gives a world-class effect as you make your way up the drive to the entrance. The impressive atrium lobby houses large rock formations with streams and cascading waterfalls.
