Tropical Palms RV Resort has always been a favourite tourist destination among enthusiasts and with its perfect location just 7 km (4.5 miles) from Disney World and 18 km (11 miles) from Universal Studios, it's no wonder so many guests come back year after year.
As of 2018, returning visitors will be pleasantly surprised to see that the resort's 121 cottages have all received a makeover and undergone varying degrees of renovation. Many of the park's amenities have also been upgraded, including five, beautifully renovated bathhouses and laundry facilities that have been outfitted with new state-of-the-art washers and dryers.
Stunning, Renovated Cottages Offer Home Away from Home Experiences
While the size of your group will determine whether you'll want to book a loft, one-bedroom studio or two-bedroom suite, you'll love relaxing and unwinding after a busy day in one of these newly renovated cottages.
Tropical Palms' general manager Karla Hettinger says the resort's goal was to modernize all the cottages to ensure they're private, luxurious, comfortable, modern and functional for their full range of guests. Some of the cottages were renovated entirely, by tearing them down to the studs and rebuilding, while others have benefited from a little TLC, to make the resort's vision a reality.
Now, guests will find that all Tropical Palms' cottages are carpet-free, with brand new flooring throughout and a private deck. The team of contractors and designers made design considerations on an individual basis for each unit. The massive overhaul included necessary upgrades like new washroom fixtures, new appliances (including stoves, ovens, microwaves, and refrigerators), granite kitchen countertops, new indoor and patio furniture, central air upgrades, new sliding glass doors and windows, fresh paint and modern décor. Now, every cottage feels modern, light, bright and airy – the perfect backdrop for a fun and relaxing home base for Florida guests.
Unique Resort Caters to Guests' Individual Needs
From families with young children and retired snowbirds to people who want to vacation with their fur babies, Tropical Palms RV Resort has something for everyone. The 69-acre resort is indeed a "hidden gem," Hettinger says, "its serene, natural location sets it apart from other parks, hotels, and resorts in the area."
The secret to Tropical Palms is its central location, which allows guests to explore all that Orlando offers but then return to a quiet oasis, complete with pristine walking trails and lakes. In the evening, guests can enjoy the serenity that the park provides (including glimpses of some of Florida's spectacular wildlife) and then unwind and recharge for the next day.
Looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of the theme park circuit (not to mention the costs)? There's so much to do within the resort itself. There’s a large, heated swimming pool, kid's pool, a café, horseshoes, Bocce ball court, mini-golf, fitness centre and a Lifestyles clubhouse. There’s so much in fact, that you may choose to spend your day at the resort.
Each cottage has a fully-equipped kitchen, so guests can choose to cook as they please, which is not only more affordable but also more accessible if you have dietary restrictions (or kids who are picky eaters). With full kitchens – as well as the park's newly updated laundry facilities and bathhouses – you don't ever have to leave. In fact, many Tropical Palms guests stay for the entire winter.
Experience an Orlando Vacation That's Flexible and Affordable
Tropical Palms stands out as a flexible option for guests of all ages. With 24/7 security, safety is a top priority. Plus, there's usually no minimum stay required to book one of the resort's spectacular cottages and all the newly renovated cottages are pet-friendly, which makes it an excellent option for animal lovers.
Whether you're looking for a theme park adventure, want to extend your golf season (this is Florida after all), or explore nearby Old Town (with shopping, restaurants, car shows and more), Tropical Palms RV Resort lets you have an affordable, flexible and comfortable home base. Here, you can relax, unwind and get the rest, relaxation, and rays that you're looking for in a Florida vacation.
