The Grove Resort and Water Park is located in Kissimmee, in the heart of Florida. Around half an hour’s drive from here brings you to Orlando’s biggest theme parks; Walt Disney World Resort and Universal Orlando Resort. The resort operates a convenient shuttle bus to Disney. Kissimmee itself has managed to retain a charming old-fashioned American feel which is always popular with visitors.

The main pool has a bar and grill that serves refreshments and delicious snacks all day. All guests will love getting wet at the on-site water park which features slides, a lazy river, and a super cool surf simulator. Little ones have their own designated pool with mini slides and a splash zone.

Your Board Basis
The board basis at The Grove Resort is self-catering which gives you complete freedom to dine at the fabulous selection of restaurants at the resort or indeed venture out into Kissimmee for your meals. That said, the apartments are all fully fitted with kitchen units, so you have all you need to cook homemade meals if you desire.
There is even a market on site where you can stock up on all your groceries. If you don’t feel like cooking, then the main restaurant at the resort offers buffet-style meals three times a day. You can also choose to dine at the Italian, French, Spanish or American food eateries that all serve up a variety of authentic cuisine.
