Why Stay in Reunion Resort? Everything You Need to Know Before You Book
If you are planning an Orlando holiday and you keep seeing Reunion Resort mentioned, there is a very good reason for that.
Reunion Resort is consistently one of the most requested and most loved villa resort communities in the whole of Florida. Families return year after year. First-time visitors arrive not quite knowing what to expect and leave already planning their next trip.
So what makes it so special? This guide gives you an honest, detailed answer to that exact question.
The Location Is Simply Outstanding
Reunion Resort sits just six miles from the entrance to Walt Disney World. That is a ten to fifteen minute drive on a normal day.
Close enough to make daily theme park trips completely effortless. Far enough away to feel like a peaceful, private retreat when you come home each evening.
On top of Disney, Universal Studios, EPCOT, SeaWorld, and the Kennedy Space Centre are all within easy reach. So is the premium outlet shopping on International Drive. You are genuinely in the heart of everything Orlando has to offer without being in the middle of the noise.
For families who want the parks but also want to come home to somewhere that feels calm and luxurious, the location hits the perfect balance.
The Villas Are in a Different League
This is where Reunion Resort really separates itself from the competition.
The variety of properties available at Reunion is extraordinary. You can find cosy four-bedroom homes perfect for a single family. You can find enormous fourteen-bedroom estate villas sleeping twenty or more guests, complete with private cinemas, bowling alleys, games rooms, rooftop terraces, and private pools that look like they belong in a five-star hotel.
Many of the villas sit directly alongside the championship golf courses, meaning you wake up to views across beautifully maintained fairways every morning.
Every villa in the Exclusive Private Villas Reunion Resort collection comes with a private pool. Most have outdoor dining areas, fully equipped kitchens, and enough space that different generations of the same family never need to be on top of each other.
When you compare the space and quality you get in a Reunion Resort villa against what a similarly priced hotel offers, there is genuinely no comparison.
Three Championship Golf Courses on the Doorstep
Reunion Resort is the only place in the world where you can play courses designed by Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, and Tom Watson all in the same resort.
Between them, those three men won 33 Major Championships. Each brought that same brilliance to their course designs at Reunion.
The Arnold Palmer Course offers dramatic elevation changes of up to 50 feet and bold risk/reward shots across 6,916 yards. The Tom Watson Course rewards precision and a strong short game across 7,154 yards of rolling, challenging terrain. The Jack Nicklaus Course demands accuracy above everything else across 7,219 yards with small, undulating greens that punish wayward iron play.
For golfers, staying at Reunion Resort is not just convenient. It is a genuine bucket list experience.
Non-golfers in the group need not worry either. The courses are beautiful to look at even if you have no interest in playing them, and the rest of the resort gives everyone plenty to enjoy.
The Resort Facilities Are World Class
Reunion Resort is far more than a collection of villas with some golf courses around them.
The resort spans 2,300 acres and includes a five-acre water park with a lazy river, water slides, and a children’s splash area. There are multiple restaurants and bars on-site, including a rooftop restaurant on the 11th floor with views across the Orlando skyline and nightly fireworks from the nearby theme parks.
Tennis courts, pickleball courts, mini golf, a fitness centre, resort swimming pools, and a golf academy are all available within the community.
For families who want to spend a day without leaving the resort, Reunion gives them a full day’s worth of things to do without needing to get in the car.
It Feels Like an Exclusive Private Community
One of the things guests notice most when they first arrive at Reunion Resort is the atmosphere.
This is a gated, 24-hour-security resort community with beautifully maintained landscaping, wide open spaces, and a genuine sense of calm that is very different from the busier, more commercial feel of some other Orlando resort communities.
It does not feel like a tourist destination. It feels like an upscale neighbourhood where you happen to be on holiday. That distinction matters more than it sounds, especially at the end of a long day at the theme parks.
Families who stay at Reunion consistently describe it as the place that made their Florida holiday feel genuinely special rather than just busy and exhausting.
Is Reunion Resort Right for Your Family?
Reunion Resort is the right choice if you want a luxury villa with space for the whole family. It is the right choice if even one person in your group plays golf. It is right for you if you value a peaceful, upscale atmosphere to come home to each evening. And it is right for you if you want your Florida holiday to feel genuinely premium rather than just functional.
It tends to suit families with children of all ages, multigenerational groups, golfing parties, and anyone who wants a proper home base rather than a hotel room.
If you have younger children who want to spend most of their time in a water park atmosphere and love a very active, lively resort environment, Encore Resort can sometimes be a better fit. We are always happy to talk through the options honestly so you make the right choice for your family.
For most families though, once they stay at Reunion Resort they do not go back to anything else.
