Speaking of the outdoor spaces, what’s a visit to a Florida hotel without hitting the pool? The Doubletree has a Jr. Olympic heated swimming pool. You can see in the photo above that my boys really did enjoy that Jr. Olympic heated swimming pool, we couldn’t get them out of it. While my hubby and I really loved the oversized Jacuzzi next to the pool and for our baby girl, the kids’ zone came in really handy.

Let me just say that with a family of 5, I truly appreciated that our suite had two very spacious rooms and 2.5 bathrooms, as well as, a comfortable dining room table, a kitchenette and a pool out sofa that came really handy when it was time to situate every member of our family.

Let’s explore our room!

As I mentioned before, our suite had two rooms, a junior room (which we nicknamed the “boys” room) and it came with two super comfortable queen size beds, luxurious pillows, dresser/desk combo, ergonomic desk chair, LCD flat screen TV, night table, sitting area, sitting powder/dressing room, and a very spacious bathroom with a soaking bathtub.

It is worth mentioning that both the junior and master bathrooms were equipped with irons, iron tables, and hairdryers. And if you didn’t get me saying that our suite had a half restroom, OH, MY! That half restroom/powder room was heaven sent. Well, all the bathrooms were and those bath products! The Doubletree by Hilton bath products are beyond refreshing (if you catch my drift), my daughter kept saying, “mommy, my skin smells so good!” And you know that means a lot to this mommy. 🙂

Speaking of heaven sent, having three kiddos and a hubby that love to watch movies, the Doubletree by Hilton gets an A++ for that sweet 50-inch flat screen TV in the living area. My husband was able to enjoy his soccer game and the kiddos got their TV fix by watching their favorite cartoons.

Finally, just because we are on vacation doesn’t mean that we don’t miss having quiet dinners at home. But the Doubletree by Hilton gets another A++ for proving families with a space for having meals right in your room and we did just that. By the way, thanks to the Doubletree by Hilton which provided us with a welcome basket to die for. 🙂

Speaking of yummy meals, Doubletree by Hilton at the entrance to Universal Orlando’s Sunshine CafĂ© offers a full breakfast buffet and it is Ah-mazing. My favorite was the omelet station where you can order your omelet the way you want it. As far as the kids go, they loved the fruit, yogurt, sweet bread station. One thing I loved about the Sunshine CafĂ© is their staff, they always have a friendly smile and they love to entertain the kids while the family enjoys their breakfast.
