The Grove Resort
Hi,
As we were so unhappy last year staying at the usual place that we stay, we spent a lot of our time looking elsewhere for our 2018 trip. Friends recommended the new Grove Resort to us, so one day we took a drive over and got given a tour. We loved it so much that we came home and booked it for our Summer trip this year. I've been asked about it quite a bit and although I didn't vlog the trip there, I did do a few videos for our own personal use. I've just put the videos together as I've been asked alot, like I said. So if anyone is wondering about the place, |

Oh this is brilliant thanks we are seriously considering this place for next year... we’ve been onsite the last 3 times and we need a big change this time see different things, discover new restaurants and more relaxing/pool time! Do you mind me asking what you were unhappy with in your previous accommodation and what about the grove that impressed you so much? My hubby likes a ‘nice’ hotel/apartment he works really hard and rightly so likes a bit of luxury and chilling out on holidays... he loved RPR at Universal in October but wasn’t fussed with OKW... getting the accommodation right this time could guarantee me future trips so I’m doing my research! Haha

This was my post when we came back about the usual place we stayed.
It has all the details. I was so upset, which is why we spent any down time whilst we were out there trying to find somewhere for this trip as we already had flights booked. We loved RPR too. We started out trip there. What did you not like about OKW? We've never been before, but recently watched a vlog around the place and thought it looked lovely. Our first onsite stay was also during our trip last year. 6 nights at Beach Club. We've really set the bar high for ourselves now |

The Grove looks lovely. Any idea when it will be complete and building work stopped?

Ah yes I remember reading your report I felt really gutted for you at the time, our thoughts on OKW were really around comparing it to other resorts going there from the fab room and pool at RPR the accommodation just looked dated and a bit shabby as did the pool area and the QS options (which we knew was not great) was worse than we imagined 😬 we’d stayed at SSR on our previous visit and we both much preferred SSR although the 2 bed apartment we had at OKW was very spacious and met the requirements of our party of 7. Yep you’ve definately set the bar high with a first onsite stay at Beach Club I bet that was lovely? It’ll need to be the Poly or GF next for you guys 😂😂

We stayed at the grove last August and whilst the restaurant and water park were not open it was still a fab resort. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again 😀

Thanks so much for this Lisa
After much going back and forward we have booked for June this year Like you I’ve been getting disappointed in what we were paying for and enjoying in the past only to feel it wasn’t up to standard and left feeling disappointed Looked at lots of places this year, but many with so many mixed or disappointing reviews and pics, so really pleased to have seen your post June
