Evermore Orlando Resort

Overall mixed feelings about Evermore Orlando but I’d go back again in a heart beat. We went with 4 couples and originally booked a Villa and were pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to a 7BR home with a private pool. My review is definitely more positive for this part of the experience. The accommodations were excellent and the new builds (with some still under construction around us) were amazing. We had some issues getting in to the house where the key pad wasn’t working and the only way to access the house was to crawl thru the window. Took security a few tries and several hours to correct the issue. Eventually we found a work around the pool door alarm but I won’t post it here for safety reasons. The house was very clean although we did find some dirty clothes left behind from a previous stay. The house was well equipped for cooking except there’s not enough dish soap or dish pods so make sure you bring your own if staying more than a day. My biggest issue with evermore was the bay. While this is a gorgeous and relaxing experience, and I’m glad they extended the swimming area recently, the recreation staff and operations needs a bit more time to know what to do. In order to do slides, jumps, rope swing or SUP/Kayak you need to sign a waiver. The waiver system never emailed us proof, so I signed it there live on my phone and no one ever checked it. We were given hand stamps (NOT waterproof) and half of the staff either didn’t check or didn’t care. The other half wouldn’t let you on the experiences if the stamp was half faded and made you walk back to the staffed area to get stamped only to come off again after a single slide or jump. Our party ended up stopping the activities because it was so bad. We opted to relax in the water instead. We weren’t sure what you could bring with you to the bay since the rules have changed a few times in the past few months but I can confirm a few things at the swimming areas in the bay. YES you can bring your own personal floats. YES they have a few stylish starfish shaped floats but maybe 15-20 total. YES you can bring your own coolers as there was no one policing it. On our day at the beach we only saw 1 or 2 servers and we didn’t feel like waiting for drinks so we can’t speak towards the service. There’s a handful of umbrellas so get there early. Lastly, there was always a line for the kayaks the entire Saturday we were there but likely the wait wasn’t more than 15ish minutes. Overall, we plan on going back at some point as this is a great vacation spot, hoping that the recreation staff will do better the next time and a few things change.

Disappointed. The swim zones are sooo limited, it’s 90+ degrees and you have to walk half way around the pool to enter. No access to swim from cabanas. Too many restrictions, seems like more of a resort for older adults, not child/family friendly. I saw kids fall off the paddle boards, the employees were so rude, making them get out of the pool. Staff yelling at kids for playing music on their phones. The flats are nice, grounds for the houses still under construction, landscaping not finished. We were really excited for this trip, the excessive restrictions to swim and enjoy the pool were disappointing. There are too many beautiful resorts in Orlando that are family friendly to have this many restrictions.

Evermore is now Never Again. My wife and used to visit the property when it was The Villas of Grand Cypress. For those of you reading this that had a positive experience at Grand Cypress don't expect the same. Instead of listing all our negative experiences let me just say this is no five star resort. Make sure you have your credit card and cell phone at all times as you must pay for everything when you order and they notify you by text message when your food is ready. Also no room service, I don't ever recall staying at a five star without room service. The list goes on but I think I have given enough information to get a standard form response from management.

Loved our stay at Evermore in two bedroom villa Great set up with everything needed Enjoyed the villa pool and the lagoon was great but busier Easy to check in and check out Would definitely stay again at this property, haven’t managed to get to any restaurants but the shop was high end pricing This property is very good location for shopping, Disney parks, eateries, grocery stores

This review reflects my 6-night stay in 2BR Villa. Prep & Check-in: Prior to the stay we received many emails about paying the remainder of the bill despite already paying in full initially, which is odd. Evermore has an app, that will assist you in setting up optional "Easy Pass" for check-in which will give you a QR code to scan at arrival gate. The app is not user friendly. You can make an account, add guests, but it continues to ask for your reservation number, removes guests and wants you to update it repeatedly. That being said I would attempt to complete the pre-check-in per directions you will receive in emails. Having the QR code to scan made check-in extremely easy, the door lock pass code and Villa location was sent via text message and was seamless. Our villa was ready by 12p. There are 2 gate entrances, one entrance has much better signage as to specific villa locations than the other. We found villa numbers more helpful than actual names of roads. 2BR Villa - We were a villa in 1400s (Pride Court Section) which was right across from Lagoon/Slide entrance and just a few steps to villa pool and 2 hot tubs. Great location with simple parking. The villa itself though was dated, hard to tell what they actually may have "refreshed" since remodel. Kitchen was complete with all utensils. Washer and Dryer combo and they give you laundry/dishwasher tabs. Air conditioner was perfect. Very spacious rooms and bathrooms. Very nice terrace area overlooking pond/golf area. Huge dining room table, enough for 8 people. Soaking tubs looked lovely but only one had a working drain, the other wouldn't hold water. Rainfall showers with body jets were great. Wi-Fi was quite spotty - in our villa we had limited connection while in the kitchen areas and would have to move around to get the better access. Pros: Many windows, vaulted ceilings, great view, and spacious. Cons: Dated and damaged furniture. There were many stickered dots throughout villa so Evermore is aware that things are damaged or not working and still allows you to pay full price without fixing items prior to stay. Poor painting and carpet work - obvious chips, drips, and just overall poor painting and carpet work throughout. Clearly not deep cleaned. Many dead bugs, months of dust and other guest's wrappers in the kitchen. We are realistic (Being Florida) and did see some live bugs that we took care of, but the dead bugs should not be there. Some of the terrace doors were dated/old wood had gaps that let in the bugs and lizard/gecko type friends that while I am not afraid of, is not what is expected when a booking high end resort. Amenities: The Lagoon is beautiful as in pictures. Many lifeguards and staff at lagoon/slide and looks like a lot of fun for families. The Villa pool had no staff at all, appeared unkempt with weeks of leaves and branches around area. The pool itself was warm and very clean. 2 villa hot tubs looked dated but clean. The food court was empty at dinner time when

Evermore Resort is truly the destination for large families and groups. I’m always on the lookout for places that cater well to bigger gatherings, and Evermore does just that. The accommodations are incredibly spacious, offering plenty of room for everyone to stay comfortably. This is a huge plus for anyone traveling with a group! One of the most convenient features of Evermore Resort is the hassle-free payment system, which allows for splitting the bill amongst multiple parties. This makes vacationing so much easier, as it eliminates any awkwardness or confusion when it comes to settling the costs. I LOVED that it is extremely close to all of the well-known amusement parks in Orlando. It would be the perfect place to stay when our family needs breaks between amusement park visits. I also loved the service provided at the pool and cabana. It made it easier for the family to really enjoy our chill pool day. Whether you're planning a family reunion, a multi-family vacation, or just a large gathering of friends, Evermore Resort provides the perfect blend of comfort and convenience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a stress-free group getaway!

Just got back from a wonderful time at Evermore. A perfect option when visiting Orlando. Our 4 bedroom lagoon facing flat was very spacious (all bedrooms with en-suites), clean and well equipped. The bed and pillows were so comfortable. We enjoyed having our morning coffee on the balcony, admiring the beautiful view and an evening cocktail watching the Disney Fireworks.We felt like we were in the Caribbean and not in Orlando. The toiletries are luxurious and housekeeping were helpful. Staff were very attentive and friendly. All the team were helpful and the food at Landings was excellent. The resort grounds were well maintained. We enjoyed the entertainment that was put on and my children loved playing in the sand and going on the Kayaks and Paddle Boards when not at Disney. It was the perfect location to venture to the Disney parks, having the luxury and space to relax rather than being cooped up in a hotel room. It was also nice to be able to get food from landings or cook ourselves and eat in our wonderful appointed kitchen and lounge after a long day of walking or activities at Evermore. We miss Evermore and probably has made the trip unforgetable. The MD Wally is a true gentleman and delightful to talk to. We hope to return and strongly recommend this amazing place for oversees visitors.

The only way to describe this resort is off the charts. Was here with my entire family for 10 days on a holiday program. From the first person you meet at the gate to the waterfront staff and the people who do the housekeeping and everyone in between,I must say each one was nicer and more courteous than the other. We stayed in the flats with the most magnificent view possible. These 4 bedroom flats were done so beautifully. Just pack lite because not much hanging or storage space. This resort is a must visit.

Evermore was different than anywhere we’ve ever stayed near Disney. What we loved the most was the newness and scenery of the beautiful Bay and its soft white sand to walk through every day. It wasn’t crowded at all. They planned the layout extremely well. Disappointed that they don’t offer shuttles to the parks.
