Dazzling Dreamland We recently stayed at the Dazzling Dreamland house at Solterra. Our number one setback (and seems like a common theme among other recent reviews) was that we paid for pool/hottub heat, and the hottub was only hot a couple of days during our visit. The pool heat also did not work one of the days and it took several phone calls back and forth to get this resolved. Villatel did refund the fee we paid for the heat, so that was very much appreciated. We loved having all the rooms and a separate bathroom for each. My daughter loved the SpongeBob themed room, but was a little disappointed that there were no characters painted on the walls. In one of the photos online, it showed SpongeBob on one of the walls, but he was missing. Having some instructions in the theater room would have been helpful also.

The experience was not the one… The experience was not the one expected. The house is beautiful but not clean, which is a big issue when you have kids and its covid and flu season. The pool never heated, neither did the hot tub. Finally the wifi is a shared, nonsecured wifi that doesn’t work. So in general my experience was mehh. Not the best not the worst. For the value I paid I could have gotten a better place for sure. Consider when renting.

House beautiful, pool was green for St. Patty's This is the second year my college softball team has stayed with Villatel. The house was amazing, clean, and as expected. The biggest issue we had was that our pool was out of service and unable to be used upon arrival an stayed like that for 5 of the 8 days we were there. We did get 10% back for each day it was unusable, but with a group of 20 college kids, it was very disappointing to arrive to the house with the pool like that. Also, it would be helpful if some of the areas came with setup instructions for example, the bowling alley, the movie theatre room, and the karaoke machine.

Pirate’s Hideaway Overall the experience was good. It could have been great if Villatel contracts with a new pool maintenance company and customer service management needs to be more attentive. The people answering the phones do their best to resolve issues but are limited. Pool temp and chemicals were the major downfall for the week. The house was spacious and clean. The game room/theater was superb. The pirate room was a smash hit with the kids. Misc items were addressed promptly by the service team. Having the playground right outside our door was terrific. The community amenities were great but they got to capacity very quickly causing a line to get in. Traffic in this general corridor of the I-4 was excessive.

Solterra Resort = Best Memories Ever We stayed in a 10 BR vacation house in Solterra Resort (on Broad Oak) in Davenport, right outside of Orlando. Quite the magical experience that really wowed the kids and our other guests. The theme rooms were divine, and the theater room and arcade really added that extra pop of luxury and extravagance. The 2nd refrigerator was a neccessity i didn't even know i needed, but i was so grateful for it!! There was something to do for everyone, and plenty of room so even with 20 people we never felt crowded. Loved renting from them directly, rather than through a 3rd party. They were very responsive and professional with every communication. The house was amazing, and spotless. All of the costs were transparent, and everything was as promised. Looking forward to our next stay, because they certainly have us spoiled! 🥰 Edited to add that Brianna was especially lovely, patient, and extremely helpful!
