Negative points

Limited cuisine Although there are three separate eateries, each of them serves American cuisine, with no other speciality restaurants as is commonly found in large, chain hotels. No budget accommodation Luxury villas are the standard accommodation available at the Cypress Harbour Marriott, which can be very expensive, particularly during peak times of the year. Airport shuttle Despite its close proximity to Orlando International Airport, no complimentary shuttle service is in operation. As a result, guests will incur approximately £20 in a one-way taxi fare (as of 01.06.2011, Marriott.co.uk)
