Around Watersong Resort
Watersong Resort is a quiet, conservation resort and is made up of a number of lakes and woodland. As you arrive at the resort you cross a bridge over a lake and driving through Watersong you will see road signs that limit the driving speed to 10 miles per hour in case of wildlife crossing. One of the biggest joys of staying on Watersong is the vast array of birds and when enjoying the pool at the villa you will spot birds such as Sandhill Cranes, Turkey Vultures and Egrets flying overhead or walking on the grass. We have also spotted a tortoise near the villa, wild deer and an armadillo. The alligator photograph was taken at the lake next to the gatehouse. We have only ever spotted one once there but it was an exciting sight. Watersong can feel like an oasis and it is sometimes hard to believe it is just a short drive away from all the big attractions of Orlando.
Down at the Clubhouse ,which is open and free to all guests staying on Watersong, you have the benefit of a large open pool and spa surrounded by many sun loungers and tables with umbrellas. The pool is heated in the winter months and the separate spa is heated all year. The pool area is open every day from 7 a.m to 7 p.m. The pool itself is very easy to enter for younger children or anyone who has difficulty climbing down steps as it is just a gentle walk into the water. It is also larger than the private pool you have at the villa which is great if you wish to do some more serious swimming and do some longer lengths. It can be nice to have a stroll down to the Clubhouse from the villa if you want a change of scene and a different pool to swim in. There is also a Children's Play Area with climbing frame and a slide, and a volley ball court next to the pool.
Inside the Clubhouse there is series of rooms with a table tennis table, air hockey, pool, table football and shuffle board, whilst in the main reception area there is a manned reception desk. Also located inside the Clubhouse there is a small gym, a large lounge to relax in and a toilet area. The gym and the facilities inside the clubhouse are open Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. and from 9 a.m. to 6 pm. on the weekend. Food and drink are not available to buy at the Clubhouse but there is a water fountain and a cofee machine.
