Food, glorious food

Guests wishing to purchase food to eat in their villas can do so from the Marriott Market Place on-site.
Deals and promotions
As this is a Marriott hotel, guests can take advantage of a number of special deals, discounts and offers.
Travellers who hold a Marriott rewards category card, for example, will receive 30,000 points for every night they stay at the Cypress Harbour Marriott.
Furthermore, special discounted room rates are available to senior citizens and US government and military staffers.
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)
