Our Wyndham I-Drive Experience
From check-in to check-out we had the most wonderful experience at the Wyndham I-Drive location! The property was clean and well-kept, the staff was friendly and everything went smooth! They showed us on a map where our building was located, where to park and gave us our parking pass for our vehicle! When we got to our double doors I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA that we would be checking in to the Executive Suite!
A sprawling room with a large living room, 1 1/2 bathrooms, a kitchen area with all the necessities (mini refrigerator, microwave and a Keurig), a large dining area (perfect for family meals or business meetings), the most comfortable king size bed with pillow top mattress and a huge bathroom with a VERY large walk-in shower and tub!
I was absolutely blown away just by the fact that we were given an Executive Suite! I was expecting their regular Premium King room! So this was such a pleasant surprise BUT that was not the end of the surprises and wonderful hospitality! Soon after check-in came a knock on the door and they delivered a hand written note accompanied by a fruit and cheese platter and to top it all off a bottle of red wine!
Kyle and I usually have a routine every time we go to the Orlando area and usually that always revolves around Disney! We live so close to Orlando but never really venture out to do different things! We've had SO much fun at Disney (I mean obviously) but this was probably our favorite weekend away in Orlando!
It was so nice to just relax, enjoy a day at the beautiful pool, not have a set schedule of where we are going and where we have to be at a certain time! This weekend certainly did not disappoint and I am counting down the days until we do another weekend exactly like this!
We tried new restaurants, explored ICON Park for the first time, bar hopped and FINALLY got to listen to some live music!
ICON Park - Filled with great restaurants, bars, entertainment and rides!
Where to Eat
The Hampton Social for brunch
Orlando has an AMAZING food scene! Most the time we get stuck in the loop of going to our favorite places that are around the Disney/Disney Springs area. But Wyndham gave us the ability to step outside of our comfort zone and try some new restaurants!
On Friday, we made reservations to a popular sushi restaurant that was RIGHT by the hotel! (I'm telling you this hotel has the perfect location) Seito Sushi Sand Lake blew us away and was less than 5 minutes away!
On Saturday, before we laid out by the pool we went to The Hampton Social for brunch! This place was so pretty inside and out! The food was good the drinks were good and I seriously want my future house to look like this place! Also super close to our hotel as well! Everything was so close and easy to get around!
Honorable Mentions:
Walk On's (walking distance from the hotel)
Cooper's Hawk (attached to the hotel and conference center)
Tin Roof (great live music & good drink prices)
Ole Red (Blake Shelton's new bar and restaurant/great music)
The Yard House (great beer selection/truffle fries OMG)
Pirate's Cove Adventure Golf (so much fun & I ALMOST won)
