Proud to wear my Ears

An absolutely brilliant hotel. The pools are really quiet (we went at Easter and was told it would be packed but it never felt like this), the conceige desk were very helpful (even getting us a room with a large balcony when I asked after we had been there a couple of days), the market place served simple food and Beaches and Cream and Cape May were fantastic restaurants. The Boat trip to Hollywood Studios was quick and easy, and the walk back from the park after Fantasmic cool and pleasant. An easy walk to Epcott (10 mins max) meant that we enjoyed this park most and the buses too all other Disney areas were frequent. I would recommend the Beach Club to everyone |

I wasn' expecting to enjoy this accommodation as much as I did. I knew it would be good but it was better than I imagined.The pool is fantastic although the water in the lazy river is really deep which didn't suit my DH but he was really happy in the pool anyway. The food in the gift shop was really good and we loved the lobby area.
One of the best features of this hotel has to be the location, walking into Epcot, over to the Boardwalk and using the boat for Hollywood Studios is just amazing.
I will definately stay here again. |

What there are parks?!

This is our home resort so we have stayed here a number of times - March 2010 being the last time.
Check-in was easy as usual and we didn't have to wait for our room given that we checked in after 4pm. We got a great room with a HUGE balcony, stayed in a Studio this trip but I much prefer saving my points and staying in a 1-bedroom if I can. Studios are well decorated and the high-speed access is OK and I love that it is free for DVC guests.
Beach Club Villa I find to be the quietest of all the DVC pools because nearly everyone goes to Stormalong Bay which makes the afternoon sun, swim and snooze really relaxing.
I love that the parking is close to the room and also it's not a bad walk to the Convenience place for breakfast items and snacks as well as the odd souvenier.

We stayed in a Studio apartment at the Beach Club Villas. The Studio was bigger than I expected and very comfortable for a family of 4. This hotel is in a great location within walking distance of Epcot and MGM (quite a long walk to MGM). There is a small grab & go style food court, and a massive sandy pool. We had a lovely stay here, my only very minor complaint was I found it very quiet, and prefer the livelier atmosphere at the Boardwalk, but it's certainly wouldn't stop us staying here again. |

its a great big WOW from me, always wanted to stop here since I 1st walked around the Beach club some 12+ years ago & I wasnt let down one bit. It was the 5 disney hotel I have stayed at & without doubt takes over from AKL as my top choice, the pool is the best i've ever been in the ice cream parlour although probably far to small is great, the service throughout is 1st class & the whole theming even the lobbies are brill, would recommend to anyone |

Beautiful hotel and in perfect location. Stormalong Bay pool is wonderful and we spent two full days just chilling out there, unheard of for us at a Disney hotel as we usually on the go. Check in at the Villas was very smooth and the waiting area where we waiting whilst our room was prepared was lovely. The detailing is beautiful, so much attention to detail.
The rooms are light and airy and spotlessly clean.
5 mins walk and you in World Showcase in Epcot. Perfect. :)
Cannot recommend enough. |

A wonderful mix of class and fun. The Beach Club Villas is a gorgeous hotel, in a prime location.
Walking Distance for Epcot and The Studios. But with Friendship boats to transport you to either if the mood takes you. The resort has it's own quiet pool and guests can you use Stormalong Bay which is essentially a mini water park and considered to be the best on Disney property. It also has a unique slide where you slide down the inside of the fallen mast of a pirate ship.
We are DVC members and so stay on points, so I cannot comment on value for money, but it certainly isn't a cheap place to stay.
So great hotel, great pool, lovely atmosphere, family friendly.
As you have probably realized, we like this hotel very much. |

This hotel is a hidden jem behind the main Beech Club resort, a DVC resort and has very nice common shared areas for relaxing and a lovely quiet pool area away from the great Stormalong bay.
Our room a studio had a double bed and a sofa bed, with a small kitchenette area with fridge and toaster, great for snacks and breakfast. The villas do not have there own cafe or shop but a shared small store at the beech club and the magnificent cap may was just a walk away.
the best part of our third floor studio was the view over epcot and the chance to see the Fireworks each evening from our large corner balcony, the short walk to Epcot and the boardwalk areas made this a more relaxing of our disney vacations |

We stayed here for 3 nights on rented DVC points, the room was fine but I think it still remains my favourite hotel anywhere largely because of the amazing sand bottomed mini -water park pool Stormalong Bay and also the easy access to EPCOT through The International Gateway. We enjoyed some yummy burgers at Beaches and Cream, although we chickened out of the Kitchen Sink mega dessert and DD who was then 6 enjoyed exploring the carnival games on The BoardWalk. |

This is one of the Disney great hotels. Everything about it has been thought through brilliantly. The pool area is worth staying here alone and must be one of the best in any Disney hotel, sand bottomed and a great slide, as well as a seperate area for little ones.
A good choice of restaurants, as well as the bonus of 5 minutes walk to the Boardwalk and all its facilities and eateries. Don't forget Swan and Dolphin which are easily walkable as well.
5 minutes walk from Epcot (World Showcase entrance) and a boat ride to Disney studios.
A great place to stay, highly recommended.

Fabulous is th eonly word to describe this hotel. We had a room ont he top floor with a large balcony which overlooked to quiet pool and the canal. We saw the allegator and the snapping turtles every day! A 2 minute walk to the car if we were ging out or a 5 minute walk to the back door at Epcot. A 10 minutes boar ride or walk to MGM studios. Boardwalk for evening strolls was 5 moinutes away. We were there at Halloween and the boardwalk fun and games was great for our DD. We loved the location and the ambience. It is our DVC home and we love it. |
