Area & Villa Information
We have put together some information from our own experience, which we believe you may find of use to you during your stay
in on Watersong
Resort. However, if you have any questions, we are more than happy to help
you out.
Fastest Route from Airport by Car
The best way we have found with the least amount of traffic is down the Central
Florida Greeneway (Toll 417). It's a toll road, but worth every penny,
especially after a long flight.
From Orlando International (MCO) (less than $5
in tolls) head for the 417 SOUTH. From Sanford International, also head
for the 417 SOUTH (less than $10 in tolls). Stay on the 417 toll road
which eventually merges into the I4 West to Tampa - take
exit 58 onto SR 532 East. At junction with S Old Lake Wilson Road,
turn right follow road south to Ronald Reagan Parkway where you turn left. At
the end of this road turn right onto S Orange Blossom Trail (US17) heading
south. Watersong Resort is less than 2
miles on the US17 on the left hand side.
Getting Around Without A
Rental Car
We strongly recommend that you have a rental car if you are staying on Watersong
Resort as there are no shuttles and taxis could be prohibitively expensive.
Local Amenities
Watersong is a short drive from Champions Gate, where there is a useful
shopping centre, including Publix supermarket, a selection of restaurants,
take-aways including MacDonalds, Subway and Papa Johns, a Liquor store,
Pharmacy, Petrol Station Hairdressers and Nail Bar. Just beyond is The Omni
Resort with two championship golf courses designed by Greg Norman and David
Leadbetter.
You can also buy gas refills for the BBQ from both petrol stations.
DVD Video & Games Rental
DVD's
and Video Games can be hired from
the video rental shop at Championsgate. You will need to
show your passport or driving licence as well as a credit card to get temporary
membership.
Please note that UK purchased DVD's (Region 2) will not work in the USA and visa versa.
USA purchased DVD's (Region 1) may work in the UK as long as you have a multi-region or
a hacked DVD Player and a NTSC compatible TV - UK & most European TV's use
the PAL colour system, whereas US TV's use NTSC.
Telephone Calls
All local telephone calls and numbers starting '1-800' can be dialled free from
all villas. Some villas offer free national and/or International calls -
check individual villa details.
Check-In and Check-Out Times
The earliest check-in time is 4pm and check-out time on the day of departure is
10am, at which time the cleaners will arrive to clean for the arrival of
the next guests. Earlier Check-in and later check-out times may be available at the Owner and/or Management Companies
discretion, subject to departure and arrival of previous and subsequent bookings.
Linens & Towels
Owners provide sufficient towels (including pool towels) and linen in
their villas. However, owners would
appreciate it if these would remain exclusively for use within their villa and pool area
especially when renting 2 or more villas.
If
you are planning a visit to one or more of the water theme parks or even plan a trip to the Gulf
or Atlantic coast, then
please use your own beach towels (or you can purchase these really
cheaply from the numerous "gift stores" anywhere along the US192).
Private
Swimming Pool
For your safety you are strongly requested that you do not take glass or crockery into the pool area
(broken glass is very difficult to see on a wet pool deck and swimming pool and is very
dangerous). Owners provide ample plastic tumblers, plates, bowls for safe use
around the pool. Failure to comply will result in you being liable
for the enormous expense of emptying, cleaning and refilling the pool -
20,000+ litres of water is not
cheap in Florida !!
Gas BBQ's
Gas fired BBQ's
are provided by most villa owners for the use of their guests by the
pool area. Owners cannot be held
responsible for any injuries resulting from incorrect usage of this facility.
If you need any additional gas, a propane bottle exchange can be purchased for
around $20 from the local petrol station.
Guests
are responsible for cleaning the BBQ after use or face a hefty charge for
cleaning.
The Pool Timer
This is pre-set by their management company and controls the pool pump. If you
have requested pool heating this is also pre-set by the management company -
please do not tamper with the settings as this could adversely affect the return
of part or all of your security deposit as electricity is disproportionably
expensive in Florida compared to the UK
Smoking Policy
For the comfort of future guests, you are respectively requested that you do
not smoke anywhere within the Villas. Responsible guests are of course more than welcome
to smoke within the pool area using the plastic ash tray provided.
Pets
Sorry NO PETS of any description are allowed in any villas - please do not bring your pets as
you will asked to leave the villa without compensation.
In the event of any queries or problems regarding the villa or pool, please contact
the management company
(details on how to contact them will be available in the villa)
All we have to say now is to have a great holiday
We can guarantee you will definitely want to visit again
