Overview
Marriott's Royal Palms is a 3-star Marriott-branded villa-style property in Orlando at 8404 Vacation Way. It’s positioned as an upscale, park-oriented base with spacious multi-room accommodations rather than a traditional hotel-room setup. The public rating is 4.6/5 from 994 reviews.

Amenities & Recreation
On-site facilities include an outdoor pool with an adjacent hot tub, a sauna, and a fitness center. The grounds also feature a lake and a kids’ sandy play area with a jungle gym. Parking is available for a fee, and there is a business center.
Dining
On-site dining and bar service are limited: guest feedback notes no bar, no food served, and no pool service. Travelers looking for meals on the property should plan to use the in-villa kitchen or dine off-site.
Location & Nearby Attractions
The hotel is positioned for quick access to major Orlando theme-park destinations. Disney Springs is about 1.9 km away, with Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park about 2.6 km away; Epcot is about 4.9 km away and Disney’s Hollywood Studios about 5.6 km away. SeaWorld Orlando is about 6.8 km away, and Universal Orlando Resort is farther at roughly 12.7 km.
Best for
This property is best for families and groups who want extra space and self-catering, thanks to its 2-bedroom villas with kitchens, living rooms, and pull-out sofas. It also suits theme-park-focused trips, with Disney Springs and multiple Walt Disney World parks and attractions within a short drive. Travelers who prioritize on-site dining and full-service poolside amenities may find it less ideal due to limited food and beverage service.
Travel tips
Plan meals ahead: reviews indicate there’s no bar, no food served, and no pool service, so the in-villa kitchen can be a key convenience. If you’re visiting Walt Disney World, Disney Springs (about 1.9 km away) and Typhoon Lagoon (about 2.6 km away) are among the closest major stops, while Universal Orlando is notably farther (about 12.7 km). Budget for paid parking if you’re arriving by car.
