#2 Margaritaville Resort Orlando
Okay.
You probably saw this one coming.
A Florida website called Socks With Crocs was eventually going to recommend Margaritaville.
But Margaritaville Resort Orlando isn’t here just because somebody planted enough palm trees to activate our beach-bum instincts.
It’s genuinely a good vacation setup.
You can stay in the main hotel or choose from larger villas and cottages if you need more space.
Some even come with private pools.
Right next door is Sunset Walk, with restaurants, bars, live music, entertainment and enough going on that you don’t necessarily have to jump back in the car every night.
Island H2O Water Park is also nearby.
Why We Like It
Margaritaville does something a lot of Orlando hotels don’t.
It reminds you that you’re actually vacationing in Florida.
You can still hit the parks all day, but when you get back at night, you’ve left the theme-park atmosphere behind.
Throw on some flip-flops, walk over to Sunset Walk, grab dinner, listen to some music and call it a night.
That’s a pretty good Orlando day.
Best For
Families or couples who want the theme parks to be part of the vacation instead of the entire vacation.
The cottages also make a lot of sense for families who want extra space without switching to a standalone vacation rental.
The SWC Take
This may be the most naturally Socks With Crocs resort in Central Florida.
Theme parks in the morning.
Pool in the afternoon.
Live music at night.
And absolutely no requirement that anybody wear actual shoes.
