Location, location, location is what sets the tone for the Sheraton World Resort. It is just footsteps away from SeaWorld and a short drive to both Disney and Universal theme parks. With 28 acres of tropical landscaping, including manicured gardens and lagoons with water fountains, guests can look forward to a tranquil stay. Recharge and pamper at the on-site fitness club and spa. The free miniature golf course is sure to be a hit with the kids, as are the playgrounds and arcade. For dining, Caribbean flair sets the tone at the multilevel Blue Marlin Grille, or, for a quicker meal, try Max’s Deli. Visiting the Disney parks is a snap with free shuttle service, and if shopping is your thing, there’s also a shuttle to nearby Florida Mall, housing a wide array of stores.
