Marriott’s Imperial Palms Villas is one of the most intimate resorts in Orlando. Stop by your condo to drop off your luggage and get changed into swimsuits. Grab goggles, pool toys and water wings before heading for a swim in the outdoor pool. Don’t forget the sunblock! When it’s time for lunch, fire up the bbq grills. Let the little ones help carry hot dogs, burgers and sides and get ready for a fun family cookout. Get in touch with your athletic side on the tennis and volleyball courts or for a more traditional workout there’s the well-equipped fitness center. After your workout, relax in the sauna. Good news! Guests of Marriott’s Imperial Palms Villas receive access to the restaurants, pools and amenities at the Orlando World Center Marriott, including the Spa. Treat yourself to a relaxing facial, massage or body treatment.

Three bedroom condos sleep ten guests and have enough space for the kids and their blankets, stuffed animals and souvenirs. Bring the kids along to the on-site Marketplace Express (bonus: they serve Starbucks coffee) or the nearby Publix to grab groceries for your full kitchen. Bake your famous chocolate fudge brownies and allow the little ones to assist with the mixing (and the tasting!). Flatscreen TVs have premium cable channels HBO, CNN and ESPN. Gather everyone on the couch with the rest of the brownies (if there any left) and a selection of snacks and get ready to be entertained. Be sure to pack some of your favorite movies from home, DVD players are perfect for family movie night. In-Suite Washer/Dryers allow you to save space in your suitcase (more room for souvenirs!) Once the kids are in bed, enjoy a relaxing soak in the in-suite jetted tub.
