I was walking around Eastport on a Saturday, early evening, and decided to check out the hotel. It's right on the lake and has beautiful views. They have an inside/outside bar, facing the water and plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy a drink, the music and the lovely scenery of the lake and wildlife. Our bartender was friendly and fast. We decided to sit on a bench watching the sun go down. We also took time to walk around the lobby. It's not big, but it is new and follows the Eastport theming well - it feels kinda retro and modernish at the same time. The hotel also has a restaurant attached to it, Yamas, which is an upscale Mediterranean dining spot. I haven't eaten there yet, but I've heard good things so far. If you stay at the hotel, the room rates are reasonable for the area (compared to the hotels at Brownwood or Lake Sumter) and they have many rooms that face the lake. They also had corn hole and a mini-putting green outside for added enjoyment. Will definitely come back again to check out more that the spot has to offer.

If I had anything to do with it, they would be given raises and promotions immediately. Below is the long version. I had the pleasure of running into a couple of awesome professionals here last week, Shay and Karen. I parked my car in the lot and went into the Hotel because I had heard the bar area was cool. It was not open yet so they directed me to Yamas, which is a restaurant attached to the hotel where you have to walk outside the back of the hotel to get to it. When I came back and my car was... gone. At first I thought they must have towed it, but was quickly assured by the front desk that they had not. At that point, I was not in a state of panic, but now I have the specifics of my insurance coverage bouncing around in my head and the value of not only the car itself, but the stuff in it. I had had some drinks at Yamas during lunch but I was far from in the bag. I had a clear picture in my head of where I had parked. I have parked in the byzantine streets of big cities plenty of times and have always been able to find my car, and this was just a hotel parking lot. I was ready to call the coppers when Shay and Karen were sent over to deal with the situation. They were kind and sagacious enough to suggest that they go out and walk the lot just to make sure before kicking it to the next level. I was skeptical as I was so sure I knew exactly where I had parked it. 5 minutes later they came back and announced that they had found it... On the other side of the parking lot. At that point I thought I had been pranked by the person who has the spare key, but they swore they had nothing to do with it. And how could they have even known I was there anyway? It is still a mystery as to how it got from where I am sure I had parked it to where they found it. I was hardly wasted, and have never suffered from bouts of acute amnesia, but somehow I must have moved it and forgotten about it. In any case, to conclude this long story, I have no other experience with this hotel yet, but if this is the level of service at the front line staff level, I would highly recommend paying them a visit. This kind of professionalism that is not common at all anymore. Thanks again ladies!

It's beautiful and well maintained, the staff are so very friendly and helpful. The pool was so nice, as were the screened in patios and balconies, and the plush robes were definitely appreciated. The condo was impeccably clean and elegant, it felt like being at home. One thing that I wish I'd known when booking: the condos are not on the Club grounds, they are down the road about half a mile. I didn't rent a car because on the website it looked as though the condos were part of the entire resort. Once I got there I realized it was separate and there are no options for food, etc or getting to the Club other than driving. My own fault for not renting a car, but I wanted to make sure others were aware. I would definitely stay here again if I'm in the area again, think I would make sure to text a car!

We arrived to the quiet property, adjacent the gorgeous Bella Collina Country Club. Bella has long been one of our favorite destinations locally for golf and spa and especially our day dates, so when we heard a new option was available to stay on property we were very excited. We brought our kids along on the adventure. Our accommodations were luxurious and every detail was thoughtfully our together. We had a very roomy and comfortable condo unit, television in every room with cable and Apple TV access, as well as 3 full bathrooms. It was very convenient for a larger family or group getaway. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots and pans for cooking and we used them all weekend. I loved that each unit had a view of the lake and pool area. We went down on the first night and enjoyed the pool. We had no idea we would have a front row seat to the Disney fireworks, directly from our pool view. It was awesome. The kids enjoyed the nature. The property sits on a private lake and we got up early to watch the sunrise from our balcony each morning. It was spectacular. The facilities also included a gorgeous workout and fitness center. We were also very close to restaurants and shops, as well as close to Disney properties and theme parks. My husband and son folded and I enjoyed the spa. We ate at the restaurant at Bella Collina called the 19th Hole and it was delicious! The chef has amazing menu items for every palette. Everything was so fresh and the ambiance in the restaurant was so relaxed and comfortable. We literally felt like we were whisked away, out of Florida throughout our 2 day staycation. We highly recommend this property for family getaways, guys golf getaways, girls' weekend of pampering, couple's weekend or even family reunions or to provide a nice place to stay for parties and event guests at Bella Collina. We attend the New Year's eve celebrations at Bella annually, and now we are excited to be able to book a room and make it a night after the festivities end. We love it and will definitely be back!

In all fairness, we booked this place in an emergency. Our other air bnb fell through. Our original…read moreimpression was great because the room was clean and cool. And they are "pet friendly". We were also advised that there wouldn't be any pet fees, yet when we reviewed the bill, there's a $75 pet fee. Few things we noticed before settling in. 1. The bathroom has a stand up shower with half glass to avoid water leaking or splashing on the floor. That is pointless. The water was getting everywhere when we showered. They need to add a door that closes of they want to keep a stand up shower or change to a tub. 2. The water pressure sucks. And you can see the calcium build up on the shower head. The shower head should be cleaned at least once a month. 3. The bed, while big enough for us, had depressions in it (from normal wear and tear). With the depression in the bed and pillows being extremely soft, the bed was uncomfortable. 4. While they say they are pet friendly, I dont think they are. My dogs are generally very quiet, and will only bark if they hear someone at the door or need something. We were asked to leave and take the dogs for a walk because they were receiving "noise complaints" if a dog can't see what's happening, they will all bark to alert the owners of possible dangers. There were people outside walking up and down and talking (cleaners and guests) 5. Apparently it was "bike fest" and they people that stayed at the hotel, kept revving their engins. This triggered my dogs to bark. They do the same at home all the time. While we were on the 4th floor, we were still able to hear the bikes and it was loud and annoying. 6. All the cyclists took over all the parking and that made it next to impossible to find parking at night. While I understand policy and procedures, if you're a pet friendly establishment, then it should be known that pets will bark. Its not like they're regular pets. These are emotional support pets. Most times they were with me in the room since I was not well during this trip. So when they asked us to leave for that day we felt unwelcomed.

Crooked Cat Golf Course -- Orange County National…read more There's something pretty special about getting to play your home course with good friends -- especially when you practically have the entire course to yourselves. ‍ I had the ultimate pleasure of playing Crooked Cat Golf Course at Orange County National Golf Center and Lodge with three friends Monday afternoon. We had a 4:30 PM tee time, and the course was practically empty. Other than a few singles who passed us, it felt like we had the entire place to ourselves. That gave us the luxury of taking our time on the front nine, enjoying the course, talking plenty of trash, and just having a great afternoon together. Then around 6:30, with the sun hiding behind the clouds, we realized we needed to pick up the pace if we wanted to finish before 8. So the leisurely front nine turned into a slightly more hurried back nine -- and oddly enough, having to rush actually made me play better. I went into the round with one goal: break 90. Mission accomplished. ‍ I'll never complain about walking off the course with a score in the 80s. The Course I'm genuinely impressed with the overall layout of Crooked Cat. The facility is beautiful, exceptionally well kept, and offers a great variety of tees -- Championship Black, OCN Orange, Green, Green/White combo, White and Tan -- making it possible to set the course up for a wide range of golfers. And don't let the wide fairways fool you: this isn't an easy course. The fairways are long and generally give you plenty of room to work with, while the greens are huge but certainly aren't automatic. There's plenty of opportunity to work on your irons, approach shots and short game, especially when you start figuring out where you want to leave yourself around those large putting surfaces. That variety is one of the things I really enjoy about Crooked Cat. The four of us were able to play to our own skill levels, challenge ourselves, and still have an absolute blast together. And honestly, I'm guilty of taking this place for granted. Orange County National is so close to my house that I could practically walk to the first tee, and because I work for Disney and get opportunities to play here fairly regularly, it's easy to forget just how lucky I am to have a facility like this practically in my backyard. But after this round, I'm reminded that I need to make a point of playing here more often. And at around $50 for an afternoon summer round, it's an incredible value. The course was beautiful. The greens challenged us. The company was great. The pace picked up when we needed it to. And somehow, rushing through the back nine helped me put together one of my better rounds. So let's chip it up, stick it close, and drain a putt. ‍ Yelp Elite Golfer Rating: 4.5/5 Crooked Cat gets the score it deserves. A beautiful, challenging, well-maintained course with multiple tee options, huge greens, plenty of room to work on your game, and an absolutely fantastic afternoon experience. Whether you're a serious golfer looking for a challenge or just four friends trying to have a great afternoon on the course, Crooked Cat is worth the round. And apparently, I just need to play it more often. Would I play again? Absolutely. #CrookedCat #OrangeCountyNational #Golf #GolfLife #YelpElite #CentralFloridaGolf #OrlandoGolf #GolfReview #GolfWithFriends
