Tranquil and serene, Hapimag Lake Berkley Resort’s soft Mediterranean shades of muted coral and gold invite you to spend a blissful few days doing nothing but enjoying the glorious sunshine. The resort is located in a gated community with 24-hour security to give your family peace of mind. This place (correctly) assumes that in between action-packed jaunts to the theme parks, you’ll want nothing more than a poolside lounger and some peace and quiet. Find a spot by one of the two outdoor pools and map out the next family adventure. Little ones will have a blast at the kiddie pool and the kid’s playground. Get in touch with your inner athlete at the tennis, basketball or sand volleyball courts.

One-bedroom condos sleep two guests. Two- to three-bedroom townhouses sleep four to six guests. Fully equipped kitchens have everything you need to make everyone’s favorites. There’s both a Walmart and an ALDI within a mile of the resort. Recruit the kids to help bake your famous chocolate-chip cookies (not that they’ll need convincing). The in-suite washer/dryer will come in handy when things get messy (and you know they will!). Up for a low-key night in? Satellite TVs and DVD players have you covered. Bring favorite movies from home, pop some popcorn and call everyone into the living room for family movie night.

Medieval Times Dinner Theater is a short drive from the resort. Enjoy a four-course meal while you witness a medieval jousting tournament. Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom features classic attractions Peter Pan’s Flight, Country Bear Jamboree and It’s a Small World. Mickey’s PhilharMagic is an exciting 3D musical experience for the entire family. Kids and grown-ups alike will love Great Moments in American History starring Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and their Muppet Friends. While not entirely accurate, it is a lot of fun.

Daredevils will love Orlando’s tallest, fastest and longest rollercoaster, Mako. Kraken Unleashed is a flourless virtual reality rollercoaster. Experience the South Pole through a penguin’s eyes in Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin. It’s a motion-based simulator ride, and it offers two versions: mild and wild. Mix up the roller coasters and stage shows with a visit to Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center. Or hop in the car for an easy two-hour drive to the Atlantic coast or Gulf for a day at the beach. For golfers, the Orlando area has over 60 courses, 13 within a 15-minute drive of the resort.
