A Hotel Out of This World
I'm down in Orlando for a trade show and I'm staying at the Gaylord Palms. What a great hotel. Large rooms, more than comfortable beds, great TV selection and more impressive, what a great lobby and internal experience.
The hotel has three great restaurants making very easy to dine and wine clients. In addition, there is a waterfall that extends approximately 25ft in the air to land on a man made lake filled with coi fishes one two thirds and the reminder third has five to six 4foot alligators and half a dozen turtles.
Tonight I dine in the steak house and was pleasantly surprise, not only was my steak cooked to perfection, but it was tender, juicy and very flavorful. This 24oz beast ranks up there with some of my favorites steaks. For a five star luxury hotel, the prices where right on par, the red blooded piece cost $35 with a $6 dollar charge for a side of creamed goat cheese spinach. The vegetable was just on par and nothing to write home about.
Overall, the hotel is designed to entertained and attract the wealthier crowd visiting Mickey Mouse. The large size pool has a giant size octopus serving as sprinklers on the family pool, while there is a separate pool for the grown-ups or singles staying at the resort. I can't comment much as I'm here on business and have not had a chance to test the waters, but not for lack of interest.
The hotel claimed to offer free Wi-Fi, but it was requiring registration when I tried it. Thanks to my AT&T card I have no need to register or pay a dime.
The bottom line is that when you want to experience that which the rich and famous experience in Orlando, this is the kind of place where you want to stay and hobnob. Did I mention that the hotel's spa is Canyon Ranch. In case you are not familiar, this spa is designed to be afforded by only the very high class. The Spa requires a 3 night minimum stay starting at just $3,200.
