“I had the pleasure of celebrating my husband’s 80th birthday celebration at this venue. Everything was excellent. The decorations was spot on, the food was seasoned well and absolutely delicious.
The salmon was excellent. Mac’s cheese was better than mine. And the collard greens, green beans, cornbread, yams and chicken. I will definitely be using this venue for all of my family gatherings. The service was excellent as well.”

“I have had three (3) events at Once Upon a Creation, a wine / workshop girls night with my best friends; my daughter's 6th Princess Tea Party & recently my daughter's 8th Glow Birthday Party.

Cathylee's team is great too, Nicole the event coordinator really helped me make decisions in planning, and the assistants July & Michelle who helped during the party! Thank you for always making each event so beautiful & fun!”

“A for real adult wonderland. Heaven. Anything you can think or dream up, it’s here! Been staying in the campground part for about 9 months so far and I never want to leave. Everyone here is so nice and goes over the top to be cool and helpful. There’s usually always something to get into and something going on. You could never get bored here, if you somehow do it’s your own problem! Literally there’s too much to do, I haven’t gotten to half of it. My animals even love it here. Best vibes, best people, best location too, like this is the most beautiful natural Florida it makes me misty eyed daily, but still close to the most world famous tourist attractions and airport. Waited to leave a review cause everything’s always great in the beginning but this place is the real deal, you won’t find nothing like it anywhere! Be cool though, bad vibes and scammers won’t last. I don’t know how I ended up here but I’m so thankful for sure!!!! Come check it out!”

“Their sound system isnt great, their ppt isn't great, but I can't beat the location & prices of tickets. The ppl who works there is awesome. We've seen a few cover bands they were are fantasticI hope they continue to have great entertainers!”

“Playing Bay Hill has been on my golf bucket list for years, and I finally had the chance to experience Arnold Palmer’s legendary course in Orlando. It completely lived up to the hype and then some. From the moment you arrive at the property, you can feel the history and prestige. The staff is welcoming, professional, and genuinely makes you feel like you are part of the Bay Hill family, not just a visitor passing through.

The golf course itself is nothing short of spectacular. Every hole feels thoughtfully designed, challenging yet fair, and the conditions are pristine from tee to green. The fairways are beautifully maintained, the bunkers are strategically placed, and the greens roll fast and true. It is a true test of golf that rewards smart play and punishes careless mistakes. Water comes into play on several holes, and the layout forces you to think about every shot, which makes it incredibly rewarding. Standing on some of the tee boxes knowing the PGA Tour’s best face the same challenges during the Arnold Palmer Invitational gave me chills.

Some of the signature holes really stand out. The par 5 6th hole with its sweeping curve around the water is one of the most exciting risk reward holes I have ever played. The 17th, a par 3 over water, is both intimidating and beautiful. And finishing on the 18th with the clubhouse in the background feels iconic, like stepping right into golf history.

Off the course, the lodge and amenities are top notch. The clubhouse has an old school charm that reflects Arnold Palmer’s personality, with plenty of memorabilia and photographs celebrating his legacy. The locker room and practice facilities are first class, and the restaurant serves excellent food with great views of the course. Even if you are not playing, it is a wonderful place to relax, have a drink, and soak up the atmosphere.

What struck me most was the overall experience. Bay Hill is not just about playing a round of golf, it is about feeling connected to the game and to Arnie’s legacy. The combination of history, challenge, and hospitality make it a truly special place.

In short, Bay Hill is a must play for any golfer visiting Orlando. It is a course that challenges you, inspires you, and leaves you with lasting memories. If you love golf, it does not get much better than walking the fairways where Arnold Palmer left his mark on the game.”

“This place is one of my favorite spots to come relax and have a massage. This time around I include lunch at 19 Hole. But to top that off with the Punk Himalayan massage with aromatherapy was amazing. Thank you Michelle.”

“Clean facility, extremely friendly staff and well organized. Three full basketball courts. $15/20 arm band to view the games for the entire day. Cafe upstairs is closed, no coolers allowed. Outside snacks and drinks are allowed in basketball courts.”

“Jim is incredible. Had my producer fly in from up north. We originally had some technical issues on our end due to software capadibility, but I tell you, once we got it straight, Jim showed why he is one of the best in the business. My producer was blown away by Jim's technical prowness. Nice guy, great location, and economical pricing!!”

“Close to Orlando and yet VERY different. A small, nice main street invites you to take a walk, many small restaurants, brick buildings, no high-rise buildings, nice atmosphere, weekend farmer's market, spacious parking garage for visitors just a block behind the main street. There are also open-air concerts in the summer, just the charm of a nice small town. For ? connoisseurs there is also our own brewery not far from the town hall.”

“Absolutely love this establishment!! The owner, Lisa was our instructor & she is amazing!! Knowledgeable, patient & creative. Celebrated a friends birthday at a private event but she has almost daily workshops available. Highly recommend anyone to take the opportunity to create their own unique woodwork for themselves or as gifts. Fun, therapeutic & innovative for adults & children.”

“The festival was free and fun so much to do for everyone. Car shows market and live music only once a year so held in bill breeze park community supports it with police so great festival.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Stay!
I recently stayed at the Holiday Inn Express and was thoroughly impressed. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome with their warm smiles and genuine courtesy. Every interaction from check-in to breakfast service was marked by professionalism and friendliness.

The hotel itself was spotless. My room was impeccably clean, with fresh linens, a sparkling bathroom, and everything in perfect order. You can tell the housekeeping team takes great pride in their work. Even the common areas were well maintained and inviting.

Breakfast was well-stocked and cleanly presented, and staff were attentive without being intrusive. It’s rare to find a place that balances comfort, service, and cleanliness so well, but this Holiday Inn Express absolutely nailed it.

I’ll definitely be returning on my next trip
highly recommended!”

“We had the pleasure of working a wedding here and it was absolutely stunning! The space is not only beautiful and spacious, but also so easy to work in. The staff was kind, attentive, and such a joy to work alongside. Truly a dream venue for weddings.”

“We had a baby shower there for 20 plus people it was it was nice A little tight for 20 plus people when you have food and everything I think if you maybe have 15 would be better but overall it was a great place the people were very nice yes we were a little late getting there and everything was cleaned and shiny by seven they couldn't say anything cuz it was spotless when we left”

“The nicest people and a nice little bowling alley. My son wasn’t feeling well and we could only play 1 of the two games we purchased. They felt bad for him and offered us a solution that was honestly so kind. It’s very quaint and has many lanes. Thank you ?”
